"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley

Kenna and Jaxon’s Snow Day

 

Maddy, Kynzee and Kenna got to play in the snow a day earlier and we felt bad that Jaxon was napping and didn’t get to. Josh was home from work for a day and decided to take Kenna and Jaxon outside to play. They had so much fun together!! It was a very cold day so I didn’t think they would last very long outside, but they did. Kenna was so brave and rode the snowmachine and Jaxon was even braver and let her pull him :) There were a couple times that I couldn’t even see him because he had fallen down into the sled, but he loved it. Kenna even gave Josh a ride in the sled, she was a good little driver. This little pink snowmachine has been one of the funnest things we have ever bought the kids, they have all loved it!!  The driveway needed plowed really bad since Josh had been out of town when the snow hit, so he loaded the kids on the four wheeler and they plowed the driveway. Jaxon loves the four wheeler, he could ride on there for hours. Kenna wanted to build a snowman and it was perfect snowman making snow, so Josh helped them roll the balls of snow and stack them. I don’t think these two little people will ever forget there fun day in the snow with their Daddy. DSC_9499DSC_9501DSC_9503DSC_9504DSC_9506DSC_9509

President’s Day!!

We finally got some snow that stayed for more than a day so the kids could go out and play in it. I have a hard time letting my kids outside when it’s so cold because of my two girls with asthma so they don’t get to go outside very often. But today they were out of school and they begged me to go out, so I gave in. I will probably pay for it tonight when Kynz or Kenna start coughing like crazy, but for now it was fun for them.  Josh has been working out of town on his days off from his normal job so he is very rarely home but this morning before he left again he got the snowmobile out for the girls, he must have known they would want to play with it, how nice of him. They woke up and it was sitting outside on the porch and they were so excited. So they cleaned their rooms and playroom and they got to go outside and play and play and play. They had so much fun!! The girls can all drive the snowmobile now so it can be quite the fight in the backyard at times when they think that someone has taken a longer turn than they were suppose to, but for the most part they play really well together. Jaxon was taking a nap so he missed out on the fun because he would have loved the snow. Maybe next time if our snow stays a little longer. The girls came in frozen and wanted hot chocolate and they warmed right up!! What a fun day off of school they had.

We couldn’t find a glove that would fit over Maddy’s cast, we finally found this big huge one of her Dads!!
