Let it snow!

We had the first official snowfall of the year on Tuesday.  The kids were super excited to get out in it.  So... we got out their hats, gloves and boots and let them play.  They loved every second and are as cute as can be all bundled up!

A few new purchases

In the last few weeks we have made a few fun purchases.  Both are from my favorite website, KSL.com classifieds.  The first is.....

Ta Da!!!!  A trampoline.  Just in time for that nice warm October/November weather.
When I was little, every birthday wish, every penny in the fountain wish, every eyelash wish was to get a trampoline.  We finally got one when I was about 12 or 13.  Even though the kids are so little, they love trampolines and I got this one for the bargain price of $75.(including the enclosure that I haven't set up yet) I am very proud of my thriftiness and happy to provide my kids with a little slice of heaven that I didn't get to enjoy when I was little.

I like how in these pictures, Burke swung the pants right off little flat-butt Mason.

Our next purchase was.... 

A trailer!  We have wanted one for awhile and in the fall, the prices tend to drop so we did it! Yay!

I can't wait till we can start using it, just a few.... short...   well maybe like... seven months away.




Fall Fun

We went to the pumpkin patch a couple weeks ago
and I just haven't had time to update my blog with our pics.

I'm so glad Mason and Tess have each other.  They get more fun out of everything when they do it together.

The corn maze was a hit with the whole family!
Mason is modeling his halloween look this year.  He is Dash from the incredibles.



Tess refuses to wear her cinderella costume. She has already missed out on the trunk-or-treat, and the neighborhood halloween bash.  Our family party is tomorrow, we'll see if we can coax a costume out of the little diva.

Trip to Jackson Hole

We decided at the last minute to meet Val and Sallie in Jackson Hole this last weekend.  They were staying in their RV and we needed to get away.  In the past, trips with the kids have not been the best. But, I'm happy to say that, Woohoo! The kids had a blast and were really well behaved for a two and three year old.    finally.

The Tetons!

Mason got to hold Bear's leash.  Holy crap was he excited.  Except the dog ran faster then Mason.  Mason was pretty much the one who got taken for a walk.

So excited to stay in a hotel and sleep in the same bed together.

They did great and we all had such a fun time!

I have to post some funny pictures that I love before I can't find them again. 
Here is Tess being silly again and dressing up in whatever she can find.  (P.S. Mason loves to be naked and is continually stripping Tess so she can be like him. My kids are nudists)

And I love love love this picture of my kids with their best friends Charlie and Lillee.  They have so much fun together and it shows in this picture.  Cute, cute kids.
