Christmas Party in Erda

We had lots of snow for our Christmas party at Grandma and Grandpa Knudsen's house. Zoe and Keyana playing in the snow.
It's a little bright for Ava

Santa comes to our party every year with presents and stories for the kids

Zoe's House

Zoe has claimed this bush as her house. It is the perfect little hiding place with tall weeds surrounding the tall bush. She loves to spend time there and to be outside. No toy can ever be more fun than sticks and dirt...right?

There is a bucket out there that we lift up to find potato bugs and centipedes. We don’t like the centipedes though. She looks so much older with her new hair cut. Very cute Zo!

Zoe's Hair Cut

We are really lucky to have a good friend that cuts hair. We went over to her house and she cut Zoe's hair.
Yes, we had to keep her full of candy so that she would hold still. Thanks Hollie!

Zoe's First Bus Ride!

Zoe's pre-school class went on a field trip to a pumkin patch in Paragonah. She had been asking to ride on a school bus every day for weeks. When we got to her school she would not go in the class room or take her backpack off because she was going on the bus.

She smiled like this for the entire 20 minute ride.



And the pumpkin patch wasnt too bad either!

Ava Turns One

I can't believe my baby is One! It has been so fun this year to see her change and grow. I never thought I would get a blonde hair, blue eyed baby. She is our little fire cracker.
We had a fun birthday party with a spaghetti dinner and chocolate cupcakes.
All her Brinkerhoff cousins came as well as her Grandma and Grandpa Vowles. We love you Ava!

Woods Ranch

We went up Cedar Canyon for one last time before it got too cold. Look at my new tooth!
Zoe was looking for fall leaves to take to pre-school in her sharing bag.
