Loving the SNOW!

Since we got to UT Trey could hardly wait for it to snow. I guess when you don't live where it snows it makes it more fun. He makes a darling little snow angel!

This being Kaden's first experiance in snow I didn't think he would like it so much! I was totally wrong. He ran right over and jumped in and didn't stop eating it till we went in!

Sleding was the best part. We started out slow and before I knew it both the boys were going down alone!

Uncle Derek, Trey and Kaden!

Still eating snow. I don't think those chubby checks could have gotten any more red!

After a while Trey didn't like the regular sleding and found a little jump some kids had made. This was right after he had got some air and loved every minute of it!

Polar Express Party

My sister Laura threw a wonderful Polar Express party this year for all the kids. A few days before all the kids got "Ticket's Please." We all came in out pj's and had dinner and then watched the movie.

Hot, Hot, Hot, HOT CHOCOLATE! We stopped half way through the movie and had hot chocolate and A LOT of yummy cookies!

Our boys have had such a fun time being with all of their cousins. All of the kids were so excited they thought it was Christmas Eve. A Polar Express night will be a yearly tradition for us!

Three is enough!

Well for those who don't already know we are expecting baby #3 and we found out today we are having a GIRL! Although we have no idea what to do with a little girl we are super excited!

This was my favorite picture of her standing tall with legs straight as can be! Everything looks good and we can't wait to meet this little girl in April!

Hospital Time Share

Many of you may invest in vacation time shares and rentals, I however, have invested in a hospital time share. After 6 weeks apart and another 4 weeks coming up things have been very busy for Jeff and he has had to work a lot of 12 hour days. Last night after a long day I happened to look at his scrubs and realized he had officially been branded and was now property of the VA hospital! Luckily, for now, we still get him home on the weekends!

6 weeks apart is too long!

The boys and I spent the last 6 weeks in Utah while Jeff was away on an externship for school. Jeff spent his time in South Bend, IN and Erie, PA and will post his pictures soon. Here is several posts of what we did while we were in UT. It was very hard for us to be apart for such a long time. After a few weeks Trey found Jeff's senior picture and took it of the wall and started singing songs to it. One song he sang went like this. "I guess my daddy is busy, cause he never comes around." Luckily the time went pretty fast!

Happy Halloween!

Being around family for Halloween meant a lot of really fun activities! Here are some of the highlights. Pirate Trey with his Mickey Mouse pumpkin!

Making haunted gingerbread houses with the Gillespie cousins!

Kaden caught in the act. He ate a lot more candy then he actually decorated with!

Every year my sister Kerri throws a wonderful Halloween party. Here my sister Laura shows the kids her wonderful homemade root beer!

Kaden, Trey and Mo ready for tricks and treats!

CANDY, CANDY, CANDY!!!

Carving pumpkins was so much fun well for Trey any way! Kaden took one look at the seeds and said, "no like pumpkins". So he sat to the side and had his hot chocolate instead! We got it!

Pumpkins and Pirates

We made 2 visits to the pumpkin patch this year just to be sure we picked out the right one!

Playing on the jumpy slides with the Horton cousins and Uncle Derek!

Trey, Kaden and Mo loved the pumpkins!

Trey has become a huge fan of pirates lately and more than anything loved dressing up for an evening at Pirate Island!

Playing in Provo

We had a wonderful day with my sisters Laura Lee, Kelly and my mom visiting some great sites in Provo. The boys loved the Dinosaur Museum!

Trey with his Grandma Gillespie.

The Bean museum was also a lot of fun.

Feeding the ducks at Ream's park!

A few of our favorite things

Grandpa LeCheminant's homemade doughnuts!

An afternoon visit to Cabella's!

Playing with Uncle Derek at Jumping Jack's!

Beautiful fall colors

We got to UT just in time to enjoy the beautiful fall leaves up Provo Canyon. The colors were so amazing we decided we will have to live in the mountains someday!

One afternoon the boys and I went with my mom and sister Kelly to see the leaves. The boys loved Bridal Veil falls even though it was a little cold.

For my boys a drive up the canyon isn't worth it unless you eat lunch at the train place, AKA: Dariy Keen!

Dixon Apple Farm

A week before we were to head to UT we stopped at Dixon Apple Farm. I thought for sure this would be some little grandpa farm in the middle of nowhere and yes it was in the middle of nowhere but apparently A LOT of people know about it. We waited in a line, just to park, for an hour!

Nothing beats a good wheelbarrow ride on the farm!

The apples were so delicious the boys started gathering them off the ground.

They are most famous for their champagne apples, and yes they were totally worth the wait!

Apples are great, but even better with a little hot carmel on top!
