Playing in the snow a Alisha's family's over General Conference weekend.

For Conference weekend we decided that we would go down to Grandma Monson's house to watch Conference on the big screen! Oooo! Our trip ended up being a little delayed because of the snow storm that hit that morning. We didn't make it out of Rexburg on our first attempt and Peter was so upset. We turned around and came home and had hot chocolate and marshmallows. During the break we ventured down to Firth , only to have the power go out. But my parents, being well-prepared, plugged in their generator so that we could watch Conference. Sunday during the break between Conference, we decided to go out and build a snow man, uh... I mean snowwomen. That lead to a snowman and then to a snowbaby! It was so much fun! Peter has been talking about it ever since! Andrew , on the other hand, has never seen snow before and his first encounter wasn't so hot. Uncle James, my brother, was holding him and James got hit by a snowball and some of it went onto Andrew's face. Whenever we would try to put him down, he would scream his guts out. As you can see in the picture! I'm sure that he will get over his fear as winter continues to come upon us.

Andrew, Joe (the scarecrow), and Peter

Since I have classes every day but Tuesday, I try to do something special with Peter and Andrew on Tuesdays. This day we made Joe the Scarecrow! I had told Peter that we were going to make him for a few days and so he was excited! We crumbled up about four copies of the Scroll and stuffed them into some of Peter's clothes. Peter helped design the face, especially the colors. Because Joe is so incredibly life-like, some people have actually mistaken him for one of our kids. I had thrown, uhh... I mean laid, Joe behind the crouch so that we could take naps! Uncle James came over and saw Joe crumpled up behind the couch and thought that it was Andrew and was so surprised that he would sleep in that position and place.

We made hand puppets for family home evening a few weeks ago.

Andrew's Dinner

Andrew is enjoying his food to the fullest. He would only eat the taco soup if it was smothered in sour cream. Peter also likes sour cream.

Peter's City

First Peter said something about a tower, but then he said it was a city. It is chips on a piece of bread. I guess one time he made a "fire" with his green beans and ketchup.
