Sledding...you can't do this in Bunkerville!

Among all of the bad things that winter provides here ie: COLD COLD COLD! Dirty cars, slippery walkways etc...One thing it does provide is playing in the snow. Ammon is a great sport and spent some outside time with the boys.

Our House

Most of you will probably think we are CRAZY, especially any of you who knew us while we built our Bunkerville house, but we are building again. I have to share this with you because it's pretty unbelievable- The hole for our basement was dug on December 6th and as of this week, the electrical, ductwork, and plumbing are all done! The framing of our house took 2 days, that's right, two days. We can't keep up! So, to all of you who have experienced the clark county building- there is hope. It's not like that everywhere...THANK GOODNESS!

Protecting Baby Brother...

Okay, so I know that I need to post our Christmas stuff on here, but I need to post this before I forget. I had a very frustrating day with Toben who was SO fussy. Toben started crying for what seems like the billionth time so I walked over and said, "Toben I am done with you...what do you want!" Chase looked at me and said, "Mom! You don't be mad to Toben!" "If you are mad to Toben then I will not let my friends come over anymore and I will give toys to Asher but not you and mom...that's the deal!" "That's just the deal." Well...what do you say to that!

Chase the singer

Chase sang this song for sacrament meeting all by himself. He did such a great job and didn't even get scared! Here he is singing it at our family Christmas party.

Toben J

Our sweet Toben is three and a half months old! Our good friends offered to take some pictures for us and as you can see they turned out just darling!(Of course I may be a little partial)

Polar Express 2008

We took the boys to the Polar Express. Let me say that it is fantastic for 5-year-olds, not so hot for 1-year-olds. The train ride is about 1 1/2 hours long. Asher was interested for about a quarter of that time. We did have a good time though as you can see.

The Messiah

In an effort to find something that makes me matter to the real world outside of my home, I am singing in The Messiah written by Handel. It is interesting to note that Handel wrote the entire piece symphony parts and all 4 vocal parts in just 24 days. The version that I have does not include the symphony score and it is 138 pages long. It is also even MORE amazing that it is polyphonic music which basically means that all the vocal parts are doing something different at all times-YIKES! It is nice to have something to challenge me and something that I enjoy. If you want to hear something crazy listen to "Worthy is the Lamb that was Slain" out of the Messiah and just listen to all the crazy parts doing all their crazy things...let me know what you think :)
