christmas tree hunt 2011

this year to find grandpa and grandma a tree we drove up by west piney.  since i was young our good friends the parkers have come with us.  we love to visit with them, and carson loves that they have some boys in the family to play with. 

we walked over to the slide and let the boys have a few turns.  it was pretty steep, and they went pretty fast with the slick snow clothes on.  carson loved to go down on his belly, face first.  aaron liked sending big chunks of snow down, and i thought it looked a little scary.

aaron taking his turn.  it was super fun to watch, he went flying past the end of the slide:)  unfortunately, he is suffering from a soar neck, since his little ride.

 

the boys trying a few different sledding hills

after cold feet and two sledding crashes, these boys decided to wait out the rest of the trip in the warm truck.

 

 

grandma making us some hot cocoa

after we get done, we always head for a little food and catching up.  thanks once again, to grandpa and grandma and the parkers.  we had a great day:)

grandpa lindberg turns 90

a few weeks ago, we went to star valley for the weekend to celebrate grandpa lindberg’s 90th birthday.   we celebrated the day with food, family, and a few musical numbers. i was so glad we were at  a school and this little boy could run and run.

grandpa lindberg

 

i loved the table of pictures and sayings all about grandpa.  it was so fun to see pictures of him from long ago, and learn a little more about him.

happy birthday grandpa:)

chocolate pudding

this little guy loves to feed himself chocolate pudding.  it is REALLY not my favorite thing for him to do.  he gets covered, my table gets covered, the chair gets covered, and quite a bit makes it to the floor.

it sure makes him happy though:)

feeling pretty proud of all his accomplishments

 

lots and lots of running around the house in BIG shoes.  we have to shut doors and closets or we find shoes everywhere.

it is a super good thing that this boy takes really long naps.
