Sledding with Shannon!

My sister Shannon moved to South Jordan.. We have not had any real free time to get down there to see the new place. Well, with it being CHRISTmas break we have had the extra time to get out and about.. While we were down there, we went sledding. It was a blast! EVERYONE enjoyed it. Here is Shannon, Jon, Jaden, and Joshua getting ready to brave another trip down the hill. We then went to a little trendy place and drank really expensive hot cocoa!

First *SNOW*

It is SNOWING!! I love it! Well, as long as I do not have to drive far in it, I do!

Potty Training!

We have started to train Josiah. He is so cute.. I just want to squeeze him! I had to share it with all of you. Here he is clapping; because he just went pee-pee. During Christmas break, we are going to full out train. Right now, we are just getting him use to trying it out. He is almost 18 months. His brother, Joshua, was already trained at this age.


Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way that he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

I'm A BIG Boy Now!

I have been very sick with the flu. It was going around so bad, they cancelled school. That also meant no school for Mr. Joshua. Everyday though, he would ask if he could go. Today.. Praise be to God, I am starting to feel like myself. So we were cleaning.. Joshua comes out of his room looking like this. "Cheese!" he says. He also cleaned his room. I was able to capture this with the camera.

2 Peter 3:18 "But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To HIM be glory both now and for ever. Amen."

Joshua's idea of cleaning his room.

(he stuffed it all in his bottom drawer)
