Snow Toast

With John working evenings right now, the kids and I usually have a light meal for dinner. I do not like making a huge meal for just the kids and myself. We have eggs and pancakes often since it is too much work for me in the mornings. (I am NOT a morning person!) This particular night I thought I would make French toast and get 'creative' with the name. Voila! Snow toast! Ok. I admit that it really was not THAT creative but the kids LOVED it nonetheless. I find that I enjoy finding new names for common foods that will appeal to my Carson. One of his new favorites is Special Santa Spaghetti with snow on top (Parmesan cheese). If it is just regular spaghetti he will hardly touch it, but if it is Santa Spaghetti he will devour every bite!

Diaper Girl

Madison now thinks that everything needs a diaper: babydolls, stuffed horses, even Alex.

My boys

Aren't they cute?

Rock N Roll Las Vegas

John and I ran in the Inaugural Rock N Roll Las Vegas 1/2 Marathon on Sunday. It was a chilly 34 degrees for the start of the race. The strip was completely shut down for it. It was so much fun! We were late due to the monstrous traffic and had a 1.5 mile run just to make it to the start line. It started and ended at Mandalay Bay. The race included the Running Elvi and a run through wedding at Paris. We were couch potatoes for the rest of the day. Today, we are soooo tired and sooo sore. I think I might be a couch potato for another day!

The lights in the distance are at the starting line.

Waiting to start.

So happy to cross the finish line!

Santa Claus

I LOVE this picture! We entered it into the Crybaby Contest.

Leaf Jumping Party

We had Sarah, Matthew, and Abby over to rake and jump in the leaves. It is hard to believe that we were doing such a thing in December! The kids had a blast.

Santa Hat

I found this hat when I was digging through my Christmas things. The kids love it.
