Good Eye?

So a couple of weeks ago we were playing Candyland with Maddi and she kept naming all the characters. You know: Princess Frostine, Lord Licorice, Gramma Nutt to name a few. There is a character named Mr. Mint and for some reason Maddi thinks he looks like Joseph (Jesse's brother) She won't call him Mr. Mint, only Uncle Joseph.We don't really understand it, so we thought maybe we would take a poll. Who thinks Mr. Mint looks like Joe?

See? We don't get it...

Who moved my cheese?

Sometimes Jesse puts things on the kid's head and when it falls off, they laugh. Andrew has gotten pretty good at this. But today when he was eating a cheese snack..yeah, um, I don't know. He acts like he doesn't know it's up there, but he's the one who put it there! Maybe he's saving it for later? Or maybe he just forgot about it since is didn't fall off...

And yes, this was a pre-church snack. We aren't usually this formal for snack time. However he DOES prefer Muenster Cheese to Cheddar now...so I guess maybe we ARE getting more formal!

Fun in the Snow

This last weekend we had a HUGE snowstorm! Here's Maddi playing around, trying to catch snowflakes and making snow angels. Andrew was asleep.( Not in the snow, in his bed)


Sam and Annie also invited us to come to Temple Square with them. It was FUN! we ate dinner, went to Temple square and saw the sights, and then stayed at a hotel in Downtown. Ben and Maddi played together and had fun.
