Santa's Train

Last weekend we went to Boise to see Aunt Erin and ride "The Polar Express" Since Keller's birthday is so close to Christmas it is hard to get everyone together just a week before so we celebrated with Aunt Erin. She made him a cake and we went and rode the train. The train was fun for the boys. Jaren was a bit disappointed since we only went around 5 miles up the tracks to a makeshift "North Pole" but Santa and Mrs. Claus were on board. As well as Jingle the Elf and some carolers (singers). The boys checked out the train and even rode outside on the outdoor car with blankets. It really was a Christmasy feeling. While we were at Aunt Erins we did some shopping at the mall. Dylan got his own Build-a-Bear (a puppy named Oscar)Ask Erin how fun that was. Oh my, I sometimes wonder why we (Jaren and I) put ourselves through the torture of bringing our children out in public. I swear there are days that they act like we keep them in a cage and this is there first outing among real people. Jaren took the boys home to Erins house and we went shopping. Shopping just isnt as fun when you take your husband and 3 boys. Erin and I had fun fun fun! We found a scrapbooking store that I had never been to and it was sooo fun. We also found a little popcorn store that made just about every kind of popcorn you could think of. Anyway, we had fun and cant wait until our next trip. Thanks for your hospitality Aunt Erin.

Christmas Tree cont.

a few more picts.

The tree

When I went to Utah the second weekend in November and Jaren stayed home with all 3 boys....I came home to the Christmas light on and the tree up. Sadly the tree didnt get decorated for another 3 weeks at least. The boys looove to decorate the tree. Sawyer puts the ornaments up the highest and his brothers make sure the bottom is nice and covered with the rest of the ornaments. I have to steal a few from the bottom to put on top. Sawyer was so cute. He would pick up Dylan and let him put some of the decorations on the top. He is the best older brother a mom could ask for. He loves his brothers and they love him right back. I love this time of year. I think it is more fun as an adult. To watch all the fun and excitement Christmas brings through a childs eyes is one of the best things in life. Here are a few pictures to enjoy!

The Computer!!!

As soon as Sawyer gets home from school he gets the dishes done, his piano practiced, books read, and homework done so he can play on the computer. Since there is no DS on the weekdays he opts for the computer and Toon Town. The other boys love to sit and watch him play. I remember loving to watch Chad play Kid Icirus on our old nintendo or Mario Bros. What fun that was. Now thats what my boys do. They are limited on how much time they get to play but they live for it none the less.

Snowboarding Season

The other day we took the older 2 boys to Targhee. First time of the season. Before we could go we had to make sure that everyones stuff would work again this season. While we had everything out, trying everything on Dylan felt a little left out. So dad helped him out a bit. I think he looks to cute on that little board. Maybe next year he will be using it. I dont know is almost 3 yrs old to young to start them out....It is the Olympics we are shooting for. The other one is of Keller. What a cute little dork! Thanks for looking!
