We have 2 new additions to our family...Goldy and Red. A few months ago, Ben started asking me if we could get a dog. Well, if any of you know him you would laugh just as I did because he jumps in my arms if we get any where near a dog! Anyway, we went the rounds with why not and I ended up suggesting maybe we should try a goldfish for a pet. He liked that idea but we never did anything about it and I just put him off. Well, 2 weeks ago we got this book from the library called "Dogfish". A really cute story about a boy who wants a dog but just has a goldfish. I highly recommend it...such a well-written, cute story. So the book rekindled his desire to have a goldfish and New Year's day we ventured out to Walmart and came home with a fishbowl kit and 2 pet goldfish. They have affectionately been named Goldie and Red. The kids love them!

Since our huge snowstorm on Christmas Day, the kids have been asking to play in the snow. We have lacked some snow gear though and it's not very fun for long without such luxuries. However, thanks to some after Christmas sales, they are now the happy owners of new snowpants and boots and have enjoyed tumbling around without having to endure wet and cold jeans and soggy shoes and socks! Yeah! Bring on winter!

Ben and Natalie spent "the BEST day" with Nana, Grandpa and Aunt Sissa today. Bryan and I traveled to Preston, ID for a friends funeral and the kids spent 12 wonderful hours with my parents. They played, went to a movie (Disney's Bolt), visited cousin William, and went out to dinner! My parents were troopers to take them so long but the kids had a wonderful day. Thanks Mom and Dad!
