The mouths of babes

we just got back from the hotsprings with jasons family. It was so much fun!(we missed you Erik, Nicci, and Savannah, and wish angie and joel and the kids could have been here to come with us! (move back already guys!!!!!!) we swam and played to our hearts content. There was just one thing I couldn't figure out... I was trying to play with our neice Hailey. She always gives me hugs and wants to play, so imagine my surprise when she politely (in her own "hailey" way) declines! what!? my first thought is did i do something that upset her? I couldn't think of anything, but nonetheless there had to be some reason for her polite "Hailey way" decline. I shrugged it off for a while, and then had this conversation with her where she (in her "Hailey" way) declined again. I GIVE UP LOL!

me- Hailey do you want to come swim with me?

Hailey- no!

me- Why not? It will be fun!

Hailey- I don't want to because you're just too small

me- (while laughing) ok well is that such a bad thing?

Hailey- (looking at me with an "are you crazy" look...swam away from me and said "nevermind"

She is too cute for words! We love each and every one of our neices and nephews, and the funny things they say!!!!

Winter 2009

I tried snowshoeing for the first time today. It was so much fun! It was the perfect day to go to Bogus today!

Post Thanksgiving Duck Hunt

Just wanted to thank Erik, Joel, and Dad for a fun duck hunt and a first for me, a triple with one shot. Even though we did not get many ducks flying, it still made for a fun time.

Funny Story....

While at the movie theater tonight Jas saw this display and told me to go stand next to it because he thought Alvin was taller than me, and well... as you can see he was right! Oh well... what can I say? Good things come in small packages right?

Curls or Not

Ysterday I discovered how naturally curly my hair is.... I thought it just had a little wave, but it's actually pretty curly! What do you think? Should I wear it like this, or keep straightening it??

Christmas Festivities

I went to the Boise tree lighting at the grove for the first time last night. I can't believe I have lived here for 5 years and never gone to it. It was so fun! They gave us candles and we sang christmas carols....



We also went to the festival of trees. Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure.
