Once there was a snowman, snowman, snowman...

Last Sunday we woke up to a bit of very WET snow and after church Jeff couldn't wait to get out and play. Everyone else was hungry and tired so he went out all by himself. After a minute I noticed he was rolling snow balls and then making a snowman. He was so cute out there finding sticks to use as eyes, arm and anything else that needed marking. He would very carefully twist them into place then step back to check it out. Here he is with his final observance {look at the great smile of approval on his face} LOVE it!

Then he was off to come and tell us all about it.

He was so happy to pose with his master piece

Trent was happy to go see it in person

Tuff chics

My not so little girls have been working on their 1st Dan black belt {Kelsie} and 2nd Dan {Hailie} for the past year and a half. They have done a lot of hard work and put in many hours. We are so proud of their success. Here they are all ready to recieve their certificates. This was a big year for change with Hap-ki-do for John and all of us as Master Summers along with John and a few other teachers broke from Master Lim and formed their own alliance. So these were some of the first awards under their Intermountain Hap-ki-do Alliance.

Me and cute little Kelsie

Here they are recieving their certificates at the test, then they also are presented durring their next class.

An Aussie treat for Halloween

We were very lucky this year to have some great company for Halloween. John's Australian missionary companion, Chris Cross brought his two daughters to the good Ol' USA for some trick or treating fun. We had a little pumpkin carving dinner with he and another Aussie Mission friend Neil and his family. Jeffy started preschool this month and got this little pumpkin at school and couldn't wait to carve it. Getting started on our carving

Trent loves cleaning out the guts

Neil discovers the joy of using power tools for carving

Chris just wants to stay warm. They had the all time low temp this winter back home in Austalia at a chilly 54 degrees.

Really, if you have not carved your pumpkins with power tool you are missing out. As you can see I really enjoy this part.
