Tearin' it up

I can't believe that 2 years in a row there has been enough snow out in promontory to play in!  I think that the dogs LOVE when everyone goes out west.  They get a lot of lovin' when the little kids arrive.

 Once there was a snowman.....seriously.  Once.  My dad said that he was almost certain there hadn't been one out there EVER.  With some assistance - I got er done.  His mouth, buttons & arms are dead sunflower stems and centers.  I love him.  I think he lasted almost 24 hours.  The rain washed him right away the next day.

 My dad had a heater going in the shed & it was rather warm!  We ate with the dead rodents.  Sandwiches, chips, donuts.  Delish!  Rylee sits with her knees together all of the time.  It is adorable, but it looks so uncomfortable!! 

 Everyone loves a good snowmobile ride.  I think that Eva & Taylor enjoyed them they most.  Ashley & Griffen somehow managed to tip one over....I missed that action, but I imagine it was good watching.  Glad no one was hurt!  Blake loves being pulled on the sled.  All afternoon Rylee would grab a snowball & run up to whoever was closest & scream, "SNOWBALL FIGHT!" and throw it at them.  It was funny.

My mom was so nice & watched Luke & Alexa for us so we could get some snow time in with the older kids.  I'm positive that everyone had a fun afternoon.

Who is turning three??

Look at what is happening this week!!!!  My little girls are turning 3 years old. 

 It is mind blowing how much they change & grow up from year to year.

 They LOVE princesses lately & they got a lot of fun princess stuff.   (In fact...as I type this Taylor is going pee singing, "I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream!")  Angela took them to see 'Frozen' last week and they loved it.  They sing "Let it Go" from the movie every single day. 

Their party was FANTASTIC.  Casey's family & my family came over for the festivities and the girls were adorable.  Casey & I gave them a cute trunk that had dress up clothes & jewelry inside.  We also gave them some pretty realistic looking play makeup.

 They had princess balloons & a princess cake.  Taylor looked sick she was eating so much.  She LOVED it.  They were both funny trying to blow out their candles.  They couldn't quite get it done.

 Since their party they have played with their new makeup and stayed in the princess attire.  It is so adorable.

Here they are the morning after painting in their new Beauty & the Beast books from Colby's family.  They were so excited to put on their new Bubble Guppy pajamas from the Bodine's.

Rylee is a spunky little girl.  She LOVES to tease!  I think that teasing her big brother is her favorite thing to do.  She loves to sing & dance more than Taylor does.  Taylor is into coloring, painting and saying, "No" to whomever she can.  It's hilarious.  I have a hard time not laughing when she folds her arms & tells me no.  I usually repeat it and she'll stare at me and say, "FINE."  They love music.  Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Let it Go, Marry You (Bruno Mars), Roar (Katy Perry), The Wise Man & the Foolish Man (from church), and Just Give Me a Reason (Pink) are a few of their favorites at the moment.  My life wouldn't be complete without these two.  I am so happy that they are mine.  I am so glad that they give others a smile everywhere we go.
