Boys Will Be Boys

Alain was reminding Logan of something he used to do to him. This is what it turned out to be.


Cole (of course) thought it was hilarious, so he wanted a piece of the action as well.


I love my boys!!

Road Trip

I obviously had too much fun with my other montage, so here's another one :)

Temple Square

I was looking for a free photo montage site on the internet, ran into this, and had fun. It's not what I'm looking for to put on my blogs, so if anyone knows of a free program, please let me know!!

Super Hero

Cole has become infatuated with super heroes and becoming one himself. Often he will ask us, "How do I get to be a super hero?" We always tell him that he needs to eat all his food, exercise, and not watch too much TV or play too much XBox. Well, last night we were riding along in the car, and he asked again. I replied as I usually do, and then he goes, "Oh yeah, I forgot about those last two!" Boy is that kid hilarious!!

Sledding

This was the first time the boys had seen snow, so they were very excited to say the least. Every single little, tiny patch they saw they asked if they could play in it. Not until we got to Uncle Ken's house was there enough snow to actually play in. Since we got there too late in the day, the boys patiently waited until the next day to go sledding. I have to say, it was the cutest thing ever! Cole was too light to slide down the hill himself, so they figured out it was better to have both of them ride on one. Logan got pretty good at steering, and they both had a blast. That is until Cole was sledding by himself, didn't exactly turn in time, and ran into a tree :) Leave it to Cole to do that! All in all, they had a great time. However, when Cole was asked if he wanted to go sledding again, he politely declined. ;P

Temple Square

I loved being at Temple Square again. It was nice seeing all of the snow on the ground, and the lights laid out for the Christmas season. We took the boys to the Christus, and that night Cole prayed that "Jesus would turn into a statue." I was trying so hard not to laugh. At least we know it left an impression on him! The only thing that sucked was that it was SO DARN COLD!! Us Vegas folks were freezing our pants off out there! It was still worth it, though :)I thought for sure Cole was going to fall right in that water!I think it was 39 degrees that day!

Conference Center

Since we'd never been to the Conference Center, it was amazing to see!! That place is ginormous! I had no idea it seats 21,000 people. No wonder it looks so immense on TV! It was cool to get a tour around the building even though our guide didn't know any of the answers to the questions we were asking. (This happened in the Beehive House, too!)

This is just a pretty fountain that they have in the middle of the Conf. Center. There was a beautiful chandelier above it.
We couldn't go down and see the pulpit or up close more because they were getting the place ready for the Christmas programs they have there.It was a beautiful building, especially this water fountain they have outside. It starts on the roof (which we couldn't go on b/c of the snow) and ends outside. It was awesome!

Thanksgiving

We decided to break out of our mold this year and do something different. Since we haven't been to Utah in 9 years, we thought we'd go there. It was a ton of fun since the boys had cousins to play with. We also had a lot of fun visiting the sites in Salt Lake, especially the new Conference Center (well, new to us). We also got to show the boys BYU and the MTC. It's hard to believe Logan will be there in only 10 short yrs.!
Alain's family always meets up for Thanksgiving, so it was great to see all of them, too. He has such a nice, loving family! They always have made me feel so welcome and loved. Overall, it was one of the best, if not the best, Thanksgiving's we've ever had. Thank you to all of those who made that possible! We love and miss you all.

1st Bath Together

I don't know why Alain and I hadn't thought about this earlier, but the boys had their first bath together just a few short weeks ago. Ty couldn't stop splashing, and Cole just went along with the flow. It was so cute to see since we weren't able to do this with Cole and Logan.
