We were building gingerbread houses. Alyssa is tasting hers.

Eddy thought that was a good idea
This is my house.
Alyssa is amazed that you can turn candy into a house.
Dakota gave up on the house and just made candy covered crackers.
We all had fun making these together. Then we decided to go outside and play in all the new snow.

But at least we had a nice warm living room to hang out in to warm up.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! LOVE THE DAHL FAMILY

"Children are not ours, they are only lent to us for a short time, In those fleeting years, do your best to help them to be wonderful people." Isn't this so true...... Life is so short and the impact we have on the people around us including our children is so important.

Kevin is loving his kids. If he holds Kaleb he has to hold Alyssa. She is a little bit jealous. Aren't they cute.

Kaleb is ready for halloween. He is a pumpkin we didn't have much time to get him a costume thank goodness I keep everything. I found an old costume that fit him.

My cousins stopped by and went trick or treating with us. They were so cute.

They were so excited when they got back they had to check out there loot.

Alyssa tried to make Kaleb feel at home by laying down with him at bedtime.

Taking our grandson for a while

We spent the day driving let me tell you that is not a fun drive with a two year old. Alyssa had to stop at every rest area. She would play and pee then we would have to force her back in the car. After we finally made it to Boise which took 5 hrs we picked up our grandson Caleb for an extended stay so that his mom can get her self figured out. The drive home was even harder then the drive there because we had a 2 yr old and a 3 yr old. We had to stop and eat and pee and play. I didn't think we were ever going to get home. Thank goodness we did. Know I just have to get them worn out so they will go to bed. This should be a very interesting experience for me since all of my kids are so far apart in age. I have never had any close together except Ben and Jess and we only had Jess once in a while. Well that is my week. 

This is Ben being hit

This is Ben hitting.

Isn't it funny that these are even on the news kpvi.com front page of the journal and in sports illustrated. Can you believe all the fuss over football. Hey at least my son is getting a lot of notice with the colleges.

Halloween Party

The kids are so excited a halloween party.

Eddy is going to be the grim reaper.

Alyssa is a kitty I am not sure but I don't think kitty's have a binky.
