Chinese New Year Celebration

 

 

We went to the Chinese New Year Celebration last night, a few of the kids thought it was to loud, but we did have some good food!

Lots of snow!

  Yesterday we got about 8 inches of snow so there was no school, which our kids loved!  I didn’t like it to much because I had to shovel our big 3 car driveway, I had a nice neighbor that helped though! I want a snow blower for Christmas!

Emma got some new RED shoes (she had been asking for some) so she got all dressed up by herself.

Settlers Park

To help pass the summer time boredom, we decided to go to Settlers Park. It's just a public park that's free to go to. For my kids the best part of the park is the water section. We spent 3 or 4 hours there, as you can see they had a blast! The park is in Meridian, Idaho about an hour from our house, but only 15 minutes from my sisters house, so we're in that part of the woods often. We should go back more often.

Rosko the puppy

Our neighbors got a little puppy dog. He let our kids play with the puppy in our yard, the kids loved it! They would have traded that puppy for our dog Sassy, if I would have let them. The puppy got through the fence some more times, each time the kids didn't mind at all!

Trip to McCall

We went to McCall for Spring Break with my sister Amy and her family. There was a total of 12 people there, 4 adults and 8 children. I was suprised at the amount of snow there! The kids loved playing in it! Poor Madison got her foot stuck in the snow several times, one time David (Amy's husband) had to go help her get unstuck, he saved the day, because I didn't have any snow gear.

The girls and I snuck out one evening so they could go ice skating, they had a BLAST!
