You're not from around here.

Thursday morning we woke up to a very thin layer of snow on the ground. It looked so cold! Blake had preschool that morning so I got the kids dressed in their warmest winter clothing. They looked very similar to this kid (minus all the snow):


When we got to the school I realized we stuck out in our winter apparel because all the other kids where dressed like this (minus the hat. My kids were the only ones wearing a hat!) 


Really?! It is 33 degrees outside and everyone is just wearing long sleeves. I have a feeling this is going to be a long winter for us Arizonans.

First Snow of the Season

Yesterday evening it snowed. Blake didn't believe me at first. He said it was just raining. I think it may have been because the snow would melt as soon as it hit the ground. But about an hour later the snow was finally sticking and we decided to go out side and try to catch snowflakes. The boys loved it. Blake has been asking me all day if I would let it snow. Um, sorry kid that's not up to me. I also made the mistake of telling Blake that Christmas time is here when it is snowing. Oops. He is constantly asking me if we can get a Christmas tree and if we can have Christmas now.  



Blake
*Yesterday Blake had wet his pants a little. I was trying to explain to him for the gazillionth time that we need to keep our pants dry. He looked at me and said,  "But, Mom sometimes we just make missnakes." 
*Singing Bear Necessities: "Forget about your worries and your stripes."
*Me : Blake, why are you so handsome?
Blake: Because I just did.
Me: But how did you do it? I want to be handsome too.
Blake: You are handsome, but you are wonderful. 
Made my day!

Tyler:
For Family scripture study we have the boys repeat after us one verse. Here is the verse Tyler "read" today. 

And now I, Nephi, do not give the genealogy of my fathers in athis part of my record; neither at any time shall I give it after upon these bplates which I am cwriting; for it is given in the record which has been kept by my dfather; wherefore, I do not write it in this work.

Here is how Tyler said it

And now I, Nephi, do not give the ology of my fathers in athis part of my record; neither at any time shall I give it after dinner upon these bplates of grass which I am cwriting; for it is given in the record which has been kept by my dfather bawk, bawk,bawk; wherefore, I do not write it in this work.

Tyler has embraced being two and all that comes with it. Lately, I have heard him talking to Blake or Lacey repeating what I say to him.
Tyler: Excuse me Blake. We do not talk saucy. Excuse me. Do you understand me!
Yikes! Is that how I sound?

Just because...

they are so dang cute and I know there are grandmas out there who want to see pictures, here are my kiddos!
 Blake said, "Mom, why are some of the leaves holding on so tight to the trees?" 
"Can we watch Daniel and the Lion's Pits?
 Tyler said " I'm a diamond in the rough." What? 
During an FHE discussion on being grateful, "I am grateful for Lacey crying."

This girl has mastered rolling over.
FYI- I am so glad I shaved her head. Her hair is growing back great and she looks so cute!
