Happy Valentines Day!

We decorated sugar cookies to give to all of Greggy and Abby's friends. I believe more frosting ended up in their mouths than on the cookies. Mom had her friend Krystal over to show her how to use her new cake decorating kit. It was a lot of fun, and there were a lot of cute cookies when we were done!

What's new!

The kids are just growing up so fast! Greg is getting really good at drawing. His people now have arms, legs, faces, and even hair (and they usually have a light-saber). Abby is getting to be such a girly girl. She loves to wear necklaces, and hats. She is always saying "So cute!".

Greggy and Abby love the Star Wars soundtrack, and they really get into. On any given day you can hear one of them humming the songs. Watch how Abby just copies Greg!

Gregory Snow - a soon to be legend!

Just wanted to share this movie with everyone. Emily has found a new hobby editing videos. This is her best yet.

This is our home movie version of "Rudy"

Merry Christmas 2008

Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year! We were spoiled by family and friends, and Santa too! We had a surprise visit by Santa Claus to our home a few nights before Christmas. He brought all kinds of gifts for the family!

Abby really enjoyed playing with all of the bows, and boxes (she like her presents too).

Greggy just loves Santa, and after he left that night he said

"I like Santa. I'm going to be Santa someday"

Thank you Santa and all of our other loved ones. Thanks for making this such a memorable Christmas!

Well, as you all know, Greggy has turned 3. He had a great birthday, the highlight being the arrival of Santa Claus. He was so excited that Santa was coming on his birthday (a little too excited). He even made the paper.

Anyway, happy late birthday to our favorite little buddy!

Trick or Treat!

Halloween was a lot of fun this year. Greggy spent the day as "scary Darth Maul" from Star Wars (his new favorite because he has 2 light sabers), and Abby was a sweet little witch. (Emily made her costume).

This was the first year the kids got to really trick or treat in our neighborhood as we usually have a trunk or treat. After spending an hour getting around 1 block, we now see the beauty in the trunk or treats.

Abby realized that she was collecting candy in her basket, and she decided to have a seat and enjoy! As you can see in the video, this is what we were up against the whole night. Just imagine each house taking this much time. It sure was funny to watch!

California!

We finally took that roadtrip we've been wanting to take for quite some time. It was overdue! We got to spend a week out in California with Grampa Boots and Nana Nancy! The kids really had a great time once the "jet lag" wore off. It was quite the drive out!

On the way there we got to stop at Brad and Carol's. We missed the new baby's arrival, but we did get to walk our little nieces and nephew to the bus stop for school. What a sweet family!

Grampa Boots and Nana Nancy took us out to a pumpkin patch. The kids had fun searching for pumpkins, and Greggy loved the hay maze. We couldn't get him out of it. We also got to feed the baby animals. It was a lot of fun!

We made our annual trip to Solvang to get our family portrait again. It's always fun browsing the shops, and Abby found herself a little baby. She just hugged her doll all over town. It was really cute.

We got Abby to the beach for the first time in her life. Unfortunately she was only there for the tan. She got wet, and didn't want anything to do with the water after. Greggy; however, loved the ocean! He still calls any body of water "Nana Nancy's Ocean".

Greggy had fun running from the water. After a while, he was letting the waves hit him. He was caught off guard when one wave plowed him down. He got up, and just ran to the sand without looking back. For the rest of the trip and the ride home he talked about how the wave "got him"
