We got some new neighbors last week and need I say more than that Jared has found someone who loves Nascar as much as him! Ha-Ha-Ha!!! If you are ever free on the weekend, they throw a pretty happenin' pre-race party!!!! I love living in Idaho!!! (Yes that is there front door!)
We had such a blast in Texas. We went back for Isaah's baptism and just to visit! We stayed at Dawn's and stayed up too late everynight just chatting. (I miss my Texas girl friends! Jared says I am too grumpy to make new ones!!)
ISAAH'S BAPTISM
The Fairchild's what a cute family. It looks like Paige takes after Chad and likes to close her eyes!!
If only he was a little older and they could date!!!
Poor Bryce he woke up throwing up (once again). He didn't feel very good as you can tell. He had his "ffrow-up bucket" at his side, luckly we didn't have to use it. He perked up by the afternoon and was able to play.
Soooo... cute Tally (I believe) wanted to sing just like the big girls. She got up there all ready and just froze with her mouth open. Once again, so cute!!!
INCREDIBLE PIZZA
Shameran and Adam are so sweet! The kids were so excited to see there "2nd parents". We went to Incredible pizza and of course the kids loved it!!!
Christopher didn't really like the rocking race car as you can tell!
However they both loved the "choo-choo"! I think the train was the highlight of Bryce's trip. Ever since we have moved to Idaho, he is alway asking when he can go to "Chucky Cheeses" (that's what he calls Incredible Pizza) and ride the train.
BFF's
Hayden was a very busy girl. I really only saw her about half the time we were in Texas. And that was when I was driving her between friends houses. This is the only picture I took. But she got to go and see some of her friends... Ashley A. (in picture), Ashley W., Madie, Isaah, and Taylor. She got to see her church friends Brylie and Savannah at church. Poor Carson was wondering when he was going to get to play with her. 
Shameran sent "snack packs" home with the kids for on the airplane. Hayden was so excited, because one of her snack bites was in the perfect shape of a heart and she was sure that Sham had made it and sent it just for her!!!
Such a slacker, I am only a little over a month behind :)! We really did have a great time snowmobiling at Island Park. We went with Jared's family. ReNae got a 2 bedroom cabin and we had 9 adults and 7 kids. We were COZY!!!! I have included some picts of the highlights...
I guess maybe Jared still drives like a "Texan"! We were pulling into the cabins and the van just kept going (or so Jared says!) We called and everyone came to push us out, the funniest thing was the cops showed up and asked "So what part of Texas are you from???" (We still haven't changed the plates) I can just say at least this time it wasn't ME!!!
We got there and Hayden and Connor wanted to go swimming NOW! No adults wanted to go, so we bought some time and told them we would only take them if they pulled their teeth out! (Yes this is the same tooth that Hayden didn't loose until 3 weeks later, and Connor still hasn't pulled his out!) 
We Finally made it swimming. Hayden was a fish and remembered just what to do. Bryce AKA Sharkboy on the other hand was a bit nervous and stayed in the baby pool with his life jacket ON!!!
Day 2 we went for a "Family Ride". Everyone, babies included went down to the Fishing Bridge. It was nice and sunny, but still cold. It is so beautiful there!!!
Bryce had a great time. He was the only one without a helmet and his cheeks were FREEZING! But he didn't complain. He just liked going FAST!
"LET ME OUT!!!" Christopher just wanted to be outside. He and Nettie would stand at the door and eat up all the snow that fell off of peoples pants (and yes shoes) as they came in. Hey we didn't step in any yellow snow, so it was all good!
Once Chris did make it outside, he thought he was just as big as the BIG kids! We never let him drive the Kitty Cat, but doesn't he look like such a big boy!
Hayden on the other hand had a BLAST on the Kitty Cat! She almost got stuck a few times and barley missed hitting a tree. Maybe she drives like her Mom, or should I say Dad on this trip!
Jared, the true professional! It snowed about a foot of fresh powder overnight and on the 3rd day it was just beautiful. The sun was out and the guys had a great time! I did find out later that Jared almost rolled into the river, but he saved the sled. Good thing I wasn't there I would have gone right in!!!
(Jared, Bryce, and Hayden)The kids had a BLAST playing in the powder! We had a great time and hope to go again next year!!!
FINALLY! Hayden pulled out her tooth! This tooth has been ready to fall out for about 3 weeks now. The last week has been the worst because she comes home from school from wiggling it all day and crying ..."cause her tooth hurts!" (of course it hurts it is only hanging from one tiny root and the new tooth is growing in right behind it.) Any way after much bribery and many tears she went to bed on Wednesday night and I was sure she would swallow it in the night. She came running into my room at 2 am and she had "pulled out her tooth"! She said she had just been awake wiggling it and it came right out! Yaaaahhh! Only 21 more teeth to go!
(Oh and yes, if you look out the window, we do have "fresh snow" on the ground, come on! As Hayden says...It is suppose to be spring!)
Well I have been taking lots of pictures of fun things I have wanted to post on my blog, but then I am too tired (or lazy) to actually sit down and post them, sooo... here is what has happened over the past month...
Check out this snow! I told you there was A LOT... (February 17)
I guess you could call this "Snow bathing?
Bryce was sick the other day. (February 26) It was so sad. I went in his room that morning and he was just laying in bed, he had thrown up and was just laying there (a bit graphic I know- sorry). But it was just the sweetest thing, he just said so sweet..."Mommy I sick!" So after getting up & going strait to the tub, we got him all set up to watch his morning cartoons and he just layed on the couch with his "throw up bucket" and looked so pathetic I couldn't help but snap a picture...
However Christopher felt just fine and was as Happy as usual!!!
I was actually kinda crafty the other day! I needed my crafting fix, so I got out my new $650 sewing machine (I got that when Jared got the bike!) and I made some cute little basket liners and then some bibs and burp cloths for my sister in law! They turned out cute and I got my FIX, so I'm good for a little bit!!! (Just ignore how messy my kitchen is with the dishes piled up)
Hayden did Bryce's hair today. He loved it cause he thought he looked like Sharkboy! He wanted Hayden to be Lavagirl. (She used lots of gel and it stayed all day long even survived playing outside!)
Well I truely am missing the Texas winter. This snow is killing me! (literally-last week my entire upper body was soooo soar from shoveling. ) The worst has been that I have gotten stuck TWICE in the last week. Okay so maybe it is the driver just a bit, but come on! When there is this much snow on the ground what do you expect! (This is the kind of snow I remeber from when I was little. I will have to take some picts of the snow piles in the front yard.) The funniest was that I was taking Hayden to a birthday party the first time I got stuck and I started "talking" to my self saying "You have got to be kidding me!" and it was a good thing that is all I said because Bryce was paying attention and he kept laughing and asking when they were going to stop tricking us as they were pushing us out of the snow! It just goes to show "their ears actually do work"! I will try to be more regular about posting, I am now done with my orientation and don't have to work again until NEXT Saturday! Wooo- Hooo! I'm not sure who is more excited, me or Jared. I miss you all and will try to stay in touch better!!!
