Best Friends

So my parents gave the kids a corgi pup for Christmas, her name is Sage. Let me tell you, I forgot how much work a puppy is between the potty training and the chewing on everything stage. But we have enjoyed having her when she is not in trouble. She is so dang cute, great with the kids and her ears are now standing up. Both Peyton and Houston really like her and both like to play with her but because Peyton is 5 and Houston only 19 months, Peyton has a lot of things going on all the time and Houston has nothing else better to do than follow Sage around and she has nothing else better to do than to follow him around. They have become best buds! It is so funny to watch them. He loves to feed her treats, play catch with her, they enjoy just laying down by each other, and Houston even enjoys a drink out of her water dish now and again and in return he lets her have a drink out of his sippy cup. I think when it comes down to it Sage is definately Houston's dog. But don't tell Peyton that, she will tell you no that Sage is hers and Houston's dog.

Enjoying The Snow!!!

The kids have really enjoyed the snow this year, especially Peyton. She seems to play in almost everyday. And it's a good thing because it sure seems to be sticking around our house this year since it has been so cold. It has finally warmed up a little so the snow is now slowly melting, well at least until we get another storm. These pictures were taken a few weeks ago. Peyton had a sleepover at our house with her cousin Raylee after we had a NFL playoff party. The next day it was warm outside so the kids wanted to go out and enjoy the sunshine.

Sledding and Brent's Birthday

It was Bradyn's dads birthday on December 30th and to celebrate we went sledding with Bradyn's family at the splash park in Riverton or Herriman (not sure which it is) yesterday. The kids all had a blast. Peyton is fearless and just kept going up and down the hill. She was taking her tube over jumps, into the willows and was riding it with no hands. Houston even had fun. He rode the big hill with me and Bradyn on the sled and then went on a smaller hill on the tube all by himself. He liked the tube so much that he almost fell asleep on it.

After sledding we all went back to Brent and ReNae's house for chicken noodle soup and games. Hope you had a great birthday Brent! Thanks for having us all over.
