It's gonna be a good ski year

This is what we woke up to this am...lots and lots of snow! It took me 10 minutes to un-dig my car before work.

More snow

The snow fort that dad and the kids built...day care was cancelled, so dad stayed home with Alice & Kyle.

Thanksgiving in Powell Butte

We were in Powell Butte with my family over the holidays. We had a great time seeing Bobbby and Charlene - who just got married! Congrats!!!!!

I asked Alice to say the photo captions, as I was her scribe...here we go:

I like to play with my brother on the silly piano

I like to to snuggle and laugh with brother...and play with brother and do hair cuts with brother...and do everything with my brother Kyle. And I want him to play with me when I ask him to 'come here'.

I want to play hair cut...I'm done.

Anticipation of the popcorn...

POP!

Getting in touch with his feminine side

Sleep Over

While we were at our final bowling night, Alice, Keaton and Kyle hung out with the baby sitter. Keaton didn't want to sleep by himself, so they fell asleep in the same bed. I'm amazed they actually fell asleep...and stayed asleep!

Bed Buddies


Alice and her big, big, BIG tower.

Ouch!

Kyle took a bit of a tumble at day care yesterday, poor little dude! He is one accident prone guy.

Follow the yellow leaf road

We had the first really cold night the other day, and our front tree decided to loose ALL it's leaves in one day! I'm not exaggerating at all, it was raining leaves. The previous owners warned us that they all fell at once, and they were not joking.

This is a photo from the Mogensen's home early this am, pretty crazy how the clouds cover downtown!

Removal of the Death Trap

We began the process of removing the 2nd floor spiral staircase out. It was a little sketchy with 2 young kids running around, so we barricaded it since we've moved in. We have been living at the in-laws for the past 2 weeks, since our 2nd floor has no railing...a bit dangerous for our accident prone Kyle. We think it will be done early next week, so here are a few photos of our progress:

Halloween 2010

We had a fun Halloween this past weekend. It started with dressing up for school on Friday, and continuing on to trick or treating on Harrison Blvd.

Alice wanted to be a princess, surprise, surprise. She was Princess Tiana, and got all dolled up for school.

Princess Tiana and her side kick 'The Chicken'.

Round 2, Princess Tiana decided she needed wings.

Handing out candy

Cruising for 'chicks'

This is my favorite house on Harrison, love all the jack o'laterns.

We went trick or treating with the Thompsons (Duncan & Malcolm). Kyle is signing and saying 'Hot' as he looks at the smoke machine.

Found a rainbow while we were out
