Rider~
"Mom, I really do love you...
BUT...
the games on your phone are really LAME."
These are the things that keep me laughing :)

Reminscing
"I wish the world would rewind to when we were at Grandma and Grandpa's house."
Rider said today while reminiscing about being pushed in the wheelbarrow at Grandma and Grandpa's house.
We can barely wait until June 23rd (our official "drive on outta here" date)!!

Recap of Card Game
Tonight we played War, Go Fish and Crazy 8's. Some of my favorite moments were: while playing Go Fish, telling my son Fisher to "Go Fish" meaning it was his turn, during the game. Next would be, Rider telling us that we were "going down!" Then he would lay down a 2!!!! OOOOH!
We would bust out laughing. Trapper lost every game. I need to remember that for when we team play :) We caught many discrepancies with Riders moves, noticing that he played the same ace many times in a row, during the game of War. What a great night. It ended with ice cream cones and zero fighting!!!

Freezing Rain
When you read the title Freezing Rain, do it with the tune of Purple Rain in your head, It's more interesting that way! I have it stuck in my head "freezing rain, freezing rain, freezing rain..." Sorry I am digressing, it just seemed fun at the time.
There is freezing rain here. Sometimes when everyone is making a big deal about it here, it's just seems like a wet snow, and not big deal. But this time, it was something totally spectacular! Every tree, from limb to limb, is covered in crystal clear ice. It's beautiful! It's so heavy for the trees that they are crumpling over and even breaking from the weight. You can't drive anywhere without almost being blinded from the glimmering ice! Every blade of stale grass to the dewy moss growing on the trees.
Shylee and I did our best to capture this amazing scene.
Just imagine looking into a winter-wonderland of trees with the sun setting behind it all, and radiating this amazing and spectacular sparkle that is purely astounding. If you can imagine then you have a good picture of what it looks like here :)

"What Trapper?"
"Old People."

Bounty(less) on a Tooth
Conversation between Trapper and Hunter:
"Hunter, do you know that you only get 1 dollar for ALL the pain you have to go through to pull a tooth out?"
"From the Tooth Fairy?" asks Hunter (playing the game, which I appreciate!)
"Yeah!" says Trapper in a voice that definitely conveys the unfairness of the pay off amount from the Tooth Fairy.
Trapper has been wiggling a tooth that has a cap over it. These are not easy teeth to loosen out! I thought I was being a cool mom when I upped the price of a tooth to a dollar. But I guess I never had caps, maybe they are definitely worth more :)
THe picture is of Fisher's lack of teeth. His front teeth are now grown in :)
Shylee would get to the point where her teeth would just fall out by themselves. She hated wiggling so much that she and Lance Albern were playing, bumped heads and out comes a tooth! It happened 2 times!!
Next round is braces for Shylee and Lance ALbern. They ahve had to wait until we were through with residency! As much as I appreciate teeth, they sure are a source of grief!!!!

Let it Snow?
I am not sure if I am all into all the snow and cold this year. I usually am a cold temp person (hopefully my soul is NOT included in description) but I am very ready for the summer!
To be quite frank (whom ever he is ) I am finished. I am cold. Our house isn't what you would call a "warm home." I mean, there is a lotta love here, but the wood stove just isn't cuttin' it!!! I don't think I remember what it feels like to be warm!? Maybe someone could explain it to me again :)
I do love the pictures I get of my kids having fun, building forts and digging to China but baby~
Bring on the warm!
A sidenote~We have Flat Stanley. He came from my sis-in-law, Cally, in Payson, Utah. He has been having a great time. I forgot to bring him to the basketball game last night, but he will be coming on Friday! Then he is back to Utah. He loves the dogs AND he got to build a snow fort with the kids! He has been a fun visitor... the quiet type, but quite the party animal!!!
