We were in the car tonight and Dustin says to Cole "I love you buddy" Cole starts acting a little frustrated and basically says he doesn't like for us to "always say I love you, I love you, I love you, all day long.".....So I ask him what he would like me to say to him because I have to say something so that he knows I love him. He thinks for a few seconds and says "say Your a Stud, Daddy says that to me so you can too."

Well...Your a Stud Cole!

So we spent another spectacular weekend at the Ranstrom Family Ranch. We stayed an extra day even, thanks to MLK. So here we are, spending four days having FUN.
The kids played in the snow, found a sledding hill, rode (new super fast) snowmobiles, went swimming at Zims Hot Springs, and stayed up really late every nite watching movies.
We played cards,(P-O-U-N-C-E) a fun new game Jeni taught us, and I say fun because me and my partner (Drew) actually WON one game and I never win any games. We played in the snow, rode snowmobiles, (not me) went sledding, went swimming, ate a lot, and stayed up late and watched movies.

I tell you that is the life.
Of course, we LOVE the invite every year.
And of course I got CRAZY taking pictures.

Another Pre-School Victory

So Cole does it again....Today he successfully received his BLENDING BADGE!!!!!!!

(so this means he can take letters in a word sound them out individually and then put them together to say the word without help)

That's practically READING. Good job Cole.

Another proud moment.

Weekend Wedding

Dustin was in a wedding last weekend. His good freinds Chuck and Shannon tied the knot at their parents home in Emmett. Of course the bride looked STUNNING but so did Dustin, a handsome
groomsmen.

The kids managed to find entertainment, Cole played with the rollie-pollie for 45 minutes.

Then he played in the dirt hill, dress shirt, tie and all.....

Nap Time? (I guess so)

I went upstairs to check on the kids today. This is what I found.

How cute and uncomfortable do they look?

Merry Christmas!
