Fun with G-Pa and G-Ma

 
Kohnor and Grandpa Building a Castle
 
Look at these Beautiful ladies!
 
Watching the game!

The kids had a great time with grandma and grandpa when we were visiting. They built castles with blocks and played with the legos. I didn't get a picture of their lego building. Grandma helped Kohnor and Kellsie build a house to go with the ship that they had built. It even had windows and a door. It was so cute to see Grandpa and Alayna watching TV together. Thanks for letting us come and visit, we had a great time.

Canning

 
 
 

So I know that canning in December sounds a little odd but better late then never. The kids and I went to Glenns Ferry to do some canning this last week. Since is hadn't been too cold until now there were a few things left in the garden. So I canned some beets, making both normal and pickled. The pickled are KC's favorite! We also canned some soup and it is so Yummy and EASY! I decided that I would also try canning some carrots. We will see if the family likes them. These are pictures of our hard work. Mom canned carrots and soup too. Grandpa took the kids out to the garden to help dig some carrots. They were such good helpers. They love to follow grandpa around the farm and riding in the tractor with him.

Lots of Laughs!

 

Kohnor and Kellsie were so funny the other night. KC and I laughed and laughed at their performance. They took our hats and decided to dance and pose for us while we were taking pictures. I know that Kohnor is getting to be quite the poser but Kellise really held her own. It's moments like these that I cherish because they are growing up too fast.

Glittering Lights

 

Kohnor was so excited to decorate for christmas. I kind of put him off because I just wasn't ready. I just can't believe that this year is almost over. Anyway we pulled everything out and had a wonderful time decorating. I am sure that the kids did. I don't know about me. I may not seem to organized but I like to be when I am decorating and the kids were pulling things out faster than I could put them up so I felt like I was in a tornado of decorations but it turned out great. It was so fun to see the Kohnor and Kellsie's faces light up with each new strand of lights we put up. They really enjoyed decorating the Christmas tree. K.C. helped put on the ones that were to high for them to reach and we kind of had to balance it out a bit because there were a lot of branches with two decorations but it was so worth it. It just made me smile watching them at work. That is when I really started to feel the Christmas spirit. Seeing the look of delight on there faces made me realize how special this time of year is. They truly know the real meaning of Christmas

We love our sister

 
 
 

I was looking through my pictures again and thought that these were so cute. The other day when we were taking pictures Kohnor and Kellsie were putting on a show. I think that the only way that I could get Alayna to smile was to have Kohnor help me. She really does adore her brother and sister. They are so sweet with our little Alayna and love to make her smile and laugh.
