How much does Logan love oreos?

So much that when we tried to hide them on top of the cabinet, he found a way to get them when our backs were turned.

It is starting to get cold over here

So we had our 1st snow fall this week! So we decided to go through some of our winter gear and the kids thought it would be fun to try on some of mom & dad's snowboarding equipment. They had a ball running around the house!

Disney On Ice

So we decided to take the kids to Disney on Ice in November. This was due to Ella being out for the whole month of November for school and a week before Logan has surgery. It was amazing! The kids loved it becuase they knew 95% of the characters. It was so cute to see them get so excited to see someone come out and skate. Logan would grab our faces and point to someone to make sure we saw what he saw. We had some shaved Ice that was horrible and expensive (The two things Rick hates to have together) and some good memories.

Our Little Girl Is Growing Up

So it is crazy to think that our little girl is old enough to lose a tooth. I was out for a bit and when I came home, Rick and the kids were on the floor looking for something. When I asked what they were looking for they said "Ella's tooth". What? how could they do this while I was away. So I guess while i was out Ella came in telling Rick her mouth was bleeding. Rick started looking at and realized her tooth had come out. Now Rick had tried to get this tooth out for awhile with no luck and at times, Ella can be kind of a wimp. So the question was.... Where did the tooth go? Well we couldn't find it and decided Ella would have to write a letter the tooth fairy to explain what happened. Welll the tooth fairy must have understood becuase she got some money out of it!

Halloween 2008

So we know it has been some time since we blogged so I thought we would add some pictures. Rick and I have been into Facebook so that is where we have spent most of our time and can be found.

Apple picking saga!

I first have to say that this is really hard keeping this up. Some friends love it and I am having a hard time thinking of things to write about. I guess we are just boring.
For starters.... I am always feeling like I get myself into pickles like 'I love Lucy' so this is one of the many that has happened in October.
A lady in our ward, sent out am e-mail offering free apple picking to anyone and that you can take as many as you wanted. So I called some friends to tell them about the amazing deal. And I was off. I got to the orchard taking pictures of the kids and picking. And my favorite was climbing the trees and shaking them.( getting hit in the head a few times)
So later that night we were getting ready for a halloween party and I burnt my treat I was bringing. So I was beyond mad at myself and just being pissy. And then on top of it all Rick asks 'hey michelle where is the camera?'
oh holy crap! where is the camera? well I did not find it anywhere and then I remembered ...picking apples...
The next morning I had a friend watch the kids as I went to search the grounds....
well 1 hour of looking nothing and of coarse it was raining.
at this point I just said one last little pray...saying my hubby is going to be so mad....because I always do things like this...
and at that moment I kicked back some leaves and there it was.....
so Rick was not mad and my camera still works....
but that is one day of my life......but i love everyone of those goofy moments!
because they make me laugh, that is when it is over...

I miss my dad!

So my dad had been staying with us for about a month while he was visiting Idaho. It was nice to have him in the house. He made sure we had ice cream every night, the kids got loved, all the little projects we had got done, and most important of all.... give me advice and his time. He flew back to Uruguay last week and even though it was time for him to go, it was hard to see him leave.
