Let it snow!

Playing in the snow before school -we had to have Dom change clothes before going to school because he was so wet! Then, after school, he had his coat in his backpack...kids!

typical Gianna style-not merely waiting for the snow to land gently, but devouring it!

look at those gorgeous eyes!!

Playing in the front yard

we got over 7 inches today

snow diving

Waiting for us to catch up-the family headed out to sled down the road

this snow made a workout for Gianna!

Daddy is so fun! He loves to PLAY!!

Great Saturday with Family

My parents drove up for the day today and brought Grandma June so that she could see our house. We had such a great, relaxed family day- my mom and I got to go shopping, the boys did some boy stuff, we had a roast for dinner, the kids showered Grandma June with attention, and it was just a wonderful day!

Gianna and Grandma June had so much fun telling stories to each other, and G entertained Grandma with all of her songs, funny voices and silliness!

Love this lady!

Loving on her Grandma!

The boys playing around outside-wrestling and football! Nothing ever changes!!

Family

What a cutie!!

I finally figured out what I needed to do to get my vertical pics to stand up instead of go sideways! I had to go into "settings" and pick "old post editor" instead of updated verstion!! YEAH! That was frustrating!

Great Sunday at the Langston-Glasser Lake Cabin!

So FINALLY we made it out! The Glassers and Langstons bought a lake cabin and closed a couple days before we closed on our house, and so we have not been able to get out until now! It is the MOST ADORABLE lake cabin with AMAZING decks, docks and fun things for the kids to do!

Everyone loved kayaking

Rock the Dock

AHHHH how heavenly!

Gianna's prayer

Last night Gianna started out her bedtime prayer like this...
Dear Yord, (Lord) "Thank you for my great dance moves..."

Date with my boy!

 Dom has been asking for a "date" to get donuts and chocolate milk for such a long time, and because we have been busy with so much going on, even that simple request has not been met as I would have liked:( I look forward to dates with the kids where we get to be one-on-one and have fun conversations. Finally, on Saturday afternoon we were able to carve out some time for just us!

Of course little sis could not keep herself out of the picture. She has a hard time not being a part of something! So with a tearful goodbye (from Gianna) we stole away into the afternoon for some precious mom-son time!

Trick or Treat!

The whole crew getting ready to go out on the streets of Sequim! We have a BMX racer, paintball player, pirate, ninja, baseball player, blue-sparkly butterfly, duck tape boy, the graduate, a nerd, and a hobo!

 YUMMY goodies from the Langstons!

Counting up all their loot and dividing it into categories!

Celebrate Good Times, Come On!

 We had a great family celebration for Jared and Toni in Olympia this weekend. They came over with Kaden and Cash and we had so much fun celebrating family and all the great things that come with it! So many people came to show their love!

 These four boys were WILD!! Funcle Jared was too!

 Toni with her momo and one of her sisters, Ricci!

 The couple we all came to see and have missed so much since they moved to Chelan!

 So the cupcake eating started like this...

 And apparently ended like this...Kaden told me Gianna did this to him!

 Cashy playing with Auntie Gail

 The wild bunch in the garage...can you see the sheen of sweat on them?!

 Grandma June got to come out and watch the action..she loves the people watching!

 Grandma with two sweet boys!

 Grandma got a much coveted kiss from Cash! Love that little guy, even though he won't give me the time of day!

 So cute!

 Playing (torturing really?) with grandpa! These kids love their crazy grandpa!

 Nick was cuddled up on Vinny's lap...guess he forgot he is 13! haha

Can anyone help me with this??? All of these kind of pics show up sideways and I cannot find an option for changing the direction of the picture...UGH! Did blogger change for anyone else lately?
