Loud and Proud

Oh my gosh.......We had the best time at Coles pre-school program. He is so so proud of himself. He stood so tall and had the biggest grin on his face the entire time. He kept looking over at us and given us thumbs up. Dustin and I probably looked so silly too, we could'nt stop smiling at him. It was so fun. He is such a funny kid.

Two cute songs they sung were....

A chubby little snowman had a carrot nose, along came a bunny and what do you suppose? That hungry little bunny looking for his lunch, ate that little snowmans nose. Nibble nibble CRUNCH!

One, two, three, four, five arms has a starfish. If a starfish lost an arm there is no cause for alarm. Look and you'll discover it can grow another.

Cute New HAIR CUTS, and the FANCY tree!

Lexi and Cole both got holiday haircuts today.
Cole says he looks handsome just like his Daddy.
Lexi always wants to go short. Its so cute on her.
I thought I would throw in the final picture of our Christmas tree this year. I know it looks like it actually needed the "hair cut". (Pathetic)

Wowza! What a day!

Our family makes the most out of the Saturdays I get to skip out on work. My 13 years of retail haven't given up very many. So Dustin decides he is going to buy a us tree permit and we will have our first official "we cut the sucker down ourselves" tree. But we also want to find some snow so we can make a day of it, playing in it, playing in the snow is a Rich Family favorite. We headed up with a pot full of chili and some saltines to meet the rest of the family. After a few arguments on which way to go, and a stop to chain up Lanes tires, we made it to a little spot with lots of snow. Then we played for 3 straight hours in the snow.....so so fun.

I swear Cole went up and down the hill 100 times. Alexis was sledding down so fast, she had a ton of big wipe-outs, she just got up, smiled, and headed up again. Someone even made a little ramp and they were cruising down and catching a little air.


As always prepare for picture OVERLOAD.....





The kids made homemade snow cones, a little "white" snow and a lot of crystal lit, YUMMY!

Lane brought the four wheeler and everyone got a ride. A few pictures of the Cole catching air of the jump.

Dustin wanted to see if Cole could clear him. Yep he could!

Sled train, Grandpa Lanes idea.

Two happy kiddos, and a family Christmas tree cut down with love. We had such a good time, we are making it our new family tradition.
