Christmas season

Russell is going to take a ski class in January, he is so excited!

 

We ran to Salt Lake and got to go see the lights a couple of weeks ago. It was cold. 

 We had fun with cousin James!

                                                          Russell is being as silly as usual.

Our Christmas Crafts so far:
 
 
 


 This one they loved! It went from this:

 To this:.....

 
They are still taking flying lessons. And loving every minute!

 
 Today we got lots of snow really fast. We did not play out side too long they did not like the snow hitting them in the face, the wind was blowing pretty hard with the snow.  But it sure was amazing.

A horse and Snow!!

A couple of weeks ago we were able to spend a little time in Kimberly and got to see the horses at Grandma and Papa Johnson's house. Autumn thought that they were pretty amazing, till...

 ...she was climbing the stairs and this one tried to eat her curly golden hair, then she was quite mad at them.

We were playing at Nana and Papa Fowers house and 6 goats wandered into the yard so we had fun feeding them weeds and waiting for them to come get picked up. 

 And we got our first really good snow on Friday we were able to wake up and play!And of course it  must be consumed by all parties.

 Russell told me today that Dad even showed him how to do it right.

 After he had frozen his face with a good amount of snow, he just plopped down and made a mini snow angel.

 And we got a good little snowman made.

 Chad actually had this Saturday off and boy did we have some good cold fun!

 He even was able to get Autumn to go and like it.

 Unfortunately the light post was right in the way, but this was sunset. I thought it looked really neat, zoom in on it.

Halloween

We had a great Halloween night. Fed the kids fast and then put on costumes took a few fast pictures and then we headed off to trunk or treat. The kids had a great time and got too much candy! Russell was so excited he would not hold even semi still for pictures. 

 And here are all the pumpkins all together,

Leaves and Pumpkins

The season of playing in the leaves! Oh, the Joy!!

 Autumn wanted nothing to do with the leaves it was all about the swing.

 This is Russell's imitation of what his pumpkin looks like.

 Autumn REALLY wanted her turn. So Chad tried to let her and she got really mad that he would not let her have the knife. It was funny.

 In the end she liked her pumpkin.

 Our window looks amazing, the kids stood on the stools and I handed the decorations to them.

Fall

I have been needing to put these pictures up, I figured I better get it done before it snows.

trip to the zoo

One day during nap/quiet time Russell came to me and had all of this stuff on that is all for playing with, and said, "I look like Dad!" He put it all back on when Chad got home so that he could see. Complete with: name badge, phone in pocket, watch, and stethoscope.

 We went to the Idaho Falls Zoo a couple of weeks ago and Grandma and Papa Johnson were able to come too. We had a great time. Here we are waiting for a penguin to jump into the water, we waited in vain.

 Autumn is having a nice conversation, I am sure with the lama.

The mighty lion!

 Every time the kids could see one of the animals like this they ran to it.

 Papa and Autumn.

 This monkey was funny.

 And here we have a Johnson Doggy-Pile! (I hopped out to take the picture.)
