Waiting for snow...

We haven't had our usual amounts of snow this year. Here are some photos from last week (before we got our big snow!) Elizabeth still wanted to go out in her snowsuit even before the snow hit.





Albertsons

The preschool took a really fun field trip to Albertsons!

The kids learned about healthy eating and got to sample many foods. They started in the cereal aisle (as that's where your nutrition every day) and sampled cereal. Then, they moved on and got a free toothbrush! They continued along and made wraps for lunch. They had breads, fruits, etc. It was really fun. Obviously Nathan wasn't able to taste the cheeses or other products with dairy/egg, but it was still fun. Actually, the bread sample had sunflower nuts so he was very excited to tell the Albertsons girl that Elizabeth was allergic to sunflower seeds, but he was not!

At the end, they had a bag full of sample foods, toothbrushes, and stickers. They also each got a card that allows them to pick out a free apple or banana every time they're at Albertsons!

Making wraps! Nathan ate the whole thing and then still came home and had lunch.

Adorable quotes I need to remember.

1. Nathan and Jeremy were leaving to go get a new battery for the truck.

Me: "I'll miss you so much!"
Nathan: "I won't have to miss you Mom. You're always in my heart.


2. Elizabeth and I were playing in her room. She needed to go get a toy out of the living room.

"Be right back Mom. In 2 minutes. Really quick."

She was so serious about it and toddled off (ran) as fast as she could.

Papa Norm and Grandma Jane's house

We had a fun time visiting with Papa Norm and Grandma Jane too!


Elizabeth loves Gram. Here she is waiting for Gram to come out of the bathroom. She lays there trying to poke her fingers under the door and says "Gram, coming out?"


The kids loved to look at Gram's snowglobe before bedtime.



Counting pretzels. She's pretty good at counting to 10!

Nathan helped Papa Norm build a welding table.


Playing outside.

Nathan was quite concerned with the big fire down at the feedlot.

More Travels!

After Christmas, we spent some time in Naches with Papa Ray and Kim.


Papa Ray and Kim had some fresh new playdough. Here's Elizabeth making snowmen with Papa Ray.


Nathan's favorite stuffed animal "Hoppy" liked to talk and play with Ray and Kim's dog Molly.



The kids LOVE to swim in the "Big Hot Water Tub." They have such fun splashing with Papa Ray.







Relaxing and coloring






More fun with playdough!
