snowboard bench

I got a new jigsaw and I had several ideas to use it and this was one of them.  I made a bench out of my old snowboard.  It was a little painful to put holes in my snowboard but I think it looks pretty cool.  I love my jigsaw and have a few more ideas up my sleeve.

Carter was exhausted

Carter was exhausted after his shots and fell asleep while shopping.  He never does this and was so cute so I had to take a picture.

7th anniversary

David and I celebrated our 7th anniversary.  My sister let us borrow her cabin near Cascade and it was awesome.  We went snowshoeing, played games, watched movies, played pool, ping pong, and sat by a fire.  It was so relaxing and beautiful.  I loved just being with my best friend.  I am so glad that he is in my life.  He is makes me want to be a better person.  He supports my crazy ideas and tells me he loves me everyday.  He is a honorable priesthood holder and tries to live by the spirit.  What a wonderful day it was to be with my husband of 7 years.

Kids say the dardest things

Me: "I hate taxes"
Fenton: "me too".
oh really!!

Fenton: "ok the deal is off" 
ok, what deal and who are you to say it is off?

Fenton had a hard time waking up.  He did not eat his lunch before his nap, so when he woke up he asked for a cookie.  I said no and that lead into 45 minutes of him crying.  He then came up and asked for a graham cracker. I gave him 4.  He finished those and wanted more.  I gave him 2 more and he said no I don't want 2. So I said "do you want zero?" and he said yes.  I laughed and took away his graham crackers.  He looked at me then said "I wanted zero"  and was all mad so being the nice mom that I am I gave him back the 2 graham crackers and he kept saying "no, I wanted zero, this isn't zero i wanted zero" so I took them from him again and he continued to cry waiting for me to give him zero.  Fenton does not quite understand that zero is bad and that he should never want zero.  I laughed while he was crying to me to give him zero. 

Krispy Kreme

We are still indulging in some of America's finest.  We hadn't had a good doughnut in a while so we went for the very best.  The kids loved it and David downed a good 1/2 dozen.  We also had 2 maple bars within the first week of being back in America.  Our waistlines are paying for it but they were quite delightful

Motorcycle

We got a motorcycle handed down from my sweet sister and the kids have loved riding up and down the driveway on it.  Even Carter got in on the action and he loved it.  His little chin was shivering while riding in the wind.

More Christmas Pics

Carter got a new toy but he left it and played with his bottle.

David got a new ski helmet, dry erase markers and 2 A&W mugs.  Not hard to make this man happy.

I got a skill saw.  I have so many ideas for this.  Let the building begin.
