Sledding

A week and a half ago, we had some new snow fall. Earlier in the day, I had been talking to Bryson about how we have never built a "real" snowman with the kids. Akoy had got tubing once with the family but it was a couple years ago. After we got home after my nieces baptism and having had this talk, one of Bryson's parents neighbors invited us over for sledding. They have a steep driveway that they made into a sledding hill. 

After telling Akoy out plans, we replied "what's sledding?" Yeah, parents fail. Oh my goodness, he had the time of his life. He would not leave. Lily wasn't a huge fan of the sledding but seemed to enjoy it. She preferred going with Bryson or myself. Graham just chilled and finally conked out in grandmas arms. Akoy was so sad when we left (lily had to pee so we left) Bryson took him to the cemetery hill and continued sledding. 

Now we are not completely fail as parents. We at least took them sledding. 

Pure happiness 

"WHAT? did you see dad go on his FEET?

Our first big snow fall in Nebraska

Nebraska doesn't get a lot of "pretty" snow. Rarely snowman material. This was our first big snowfall. After it snows, everything just turns to ice. Akoy begged us to let them go out for a few minutes. He was dying to make a snow angel. He probably made 10 snow angels.  They would not come in! Lily played in the snow a little bit but mostly hung out on the porch. 

SNOW IN MAY!

While we were packing up for a summer in Utah we got snow! I couldn't believe it. The kids loved it. I ended up cleaning the car out while they played. They had fun while I still got things done. We decided to spend the summer in Utah while Bryson studies for the bar. My sister is having twins and my brother is coming home from his mission. It was just easier to come out for it all! Especially for the extra help while being pregnant with two kids and a husband who always studies. 

Snow Day

A few days ago I found it funny that my Instagram and Facebook feed were full of snow pictures. Everyone was dumped on in Utah. So I posted our pathetic amount of snow as a joke. We finally got a little snow and the next morning I got a call at 5:15 saying public schools were closed. Lincoln is much different that Utah. Our roads turn to ice fast and it gets slippery. The schools do not have buses to transport the kids. So everyone driving in the ice can get quite chaotic!

If you look closely on the right, you can see my car cleared off with pathways all around. I have a good husband! 

Wednesday morning I was supposed to go visiting teaching but Bryson didn't want me to drive across town in the bad weather. So I decided to have a lazy day in my pj's and not get ready. We are lucky enough to have a few families in our complex so we had a Ellis's, Simpson's and Partridge's over for hot chocolate and sandwiches .. Mostly whatever I already had without having to go to the store. One family in our ward's day care was cancelled so they brought their boy over and I usually babysit another little girl on Wednesdays  Needless to say, there were lots of kids! 9 kids runnning everywhere The kids all had fun while we just talked and got lunch ready. The house was a mess after but what is 15 min of cleaning time to 2 hours of play time. Nothing! Thanks girls for coming over and having fun on a day of lots of snow!

I forgot to take pictures with everything so luckily Torrie grabbed a few. Thanks Torrie!

This book was totally in Spanish and Parker was doing his best to read it!

Snow Day!

Bryson's first day got canceled due to snow. It's not a ton of snow, but it is still snowing and supposedly the roads are bad. We put Akoy's suit on and through him outside. At first he liked observing but after a put him in the snow, he wasn't a fan. Oh well! Maybe next year!

Now to finish moving in this stuff..... Almost done!
