josh was sad that he did not get to go sledding at

 pine valley

so we went to cedar to see him (and the snow)

parks made grandpa pull him all over

then parks made grandpa go down the hill with him

again and again and again

(the second the sled stopped parks tried to get back to the top)

erik and josh found a picnic table

ammon rode the snow skate

and grandma stayed warm

parks loves it when grandma rosie comes to visit

when grandma came parks had to show her

his new alligator pic his dad painted

and his alligator that lives in his room

parks also had to show her our new easter decorations

and grandma rosie taught us that in spanish

chicks say "pee-ooh, pee-ooh"

thursday night erik came home from work

 and we went on a walk

parks loves to go on walks

parks also loves popcorn

so we gave parks a bag of popcorn

the entire walk parks had this look

 on his face

and he just sat there holding his popcorn

but once we got home the

popcorn disappeared

date night

last night we went to a movie

parks ate lots of popcorn and took a nap

i wanted to take a picture

but...

i was afraid that i would be arrested

( i dont think they like you to take cameras into movie theaters)

alligator green

this morning parks and i went to a store that had balloons

parks loves balloons

the lady tolds us we could have one so we chose a

green balloon

because alligators are green and parks loves alligators

so we left the store very happy with our

alligator green balloon

after that store we had to go into two more stores

& so did the alligator green balloon

then we had to eat lunch

 &so did the alligator green balloon

then we took a nap

&so did the alligator green balloon

then parks read books with dad

& so did the alligator green balloon

did i mention that we love

our alligator green balloon

goodbye christmas

we put down our christmas decorations and it made me sad

i love christmas

and parks loved the tree

toothbrushes

parks loves toothbrushes

life is perfect

when you have a toothbrush in each hand

but if you don't have two toothbrushes

a fishing pole will have to do

today we went to pine valley to

play

in the

snow

we spent most of the time sledding

here are some of the highlights

* parks and grandpa hit a tree

*ammon got run over by two large girls

* grandma would not get on the sled

*and grandpa wore shorts

(grandma thinks this is because his calves are so nice he does not want to hide them under pants)

soon lots of people started to come to the mountain

and this man

took it upon him self to direct sledding traffic

he was a very bad director

but we did learn two things...

number one: it is really funny to see people t-bone each other on sleds

number two: it is also very funny to see a grown man try to stop a person on a tube coming right at him

we finished up the day by drinking

hot chocolate

and eating snow

we also found a bear that really liked to

pick up

                pine cones

a day at the park

december 31st was a

bright sunny day

we decided that it was the perfect day to spend @ the park

so we picked up ammon and wess

we started off with a competition to see who could cross the

monkey bars the fastest 

*erik 2 seconds

*wess 3 seconds

* ammon 11 seconds

*annie did not finish

then we had a pull up contest

*erik 8

*wess 1

*annie 1/2

*ammon none

but most of the day was spent

sliding

& climbing

and sitting in the mulch

merry christmas to all and to all

after the miguels left christmas eve

we headed over to the fergusons

     to wait for SANTA

                     we left santa a piece of cake

             and blitzen a bag of reindeer food
