ETERNAL LOVE
Grandma and Poppi came for the weekend, their annual President's Day tradition.
We enjoyed playing the Wii, even Mom!!
We were sad to see them go.
All three packages ship out tomorrow morning around 10:30am pending favorable road conditions.
Don't worry the vehicle they will be traveling in is much larger and can handle the driver as well. For now they are kept safe in our industrial bedding.

Christmas at Gma & Popi's house.
The Frost grandkids with their great grandkids.
Mom teaching Cosette and Isaac how to play marbles. Afterward, they counted them. Mom still has about 2,000 marbles in her collection.
The week before Christmas Rob took off so have some festive fun. We all took a road trip to Salt Lake City. On the way we stopped to see some friends, the Woll's, both families had fun for a few hours. After that we went to temple square to view the lights. OUCH it was cold!
Thanksgiving was nice with Ken and Darlene Wood. The food was great. We just finished the leftovers.
Decorating for Christmas. We don't waste much time changing holiday decor. This was done the day after Thanksgiving.
We invited our friends, the Clayson's, over for dinner and a movie. We watched the Polar Express. Here are our 6 kids hanging out together.
Ethan decided his truck would taste better with peanut butter on it.
Isaac loves preschool. If you ask him whether he has school or not, he says, "No! Preschool!"
Here's Isaac's fantastic potato turkey with toothpicks. Colored marshmallows were supposed to be the feathers, but he ate the marshmallows faster than he could put them on the toothpicks.
Ethan had a late nap this day. While Emma was working on school stuff, Ethan entertained himself by stacking drink mix containers and jello boxes.
Ethan's birthday was November 3 It was a lot of fun. Cosette and Isaac put together a "red carpet" of sorts from all the blankets and pillows in the house. it goes all the way down the hall.
If you can't tell Emma made cake balls for Ethan's birthday Hurray he is 2 years old. No party, just US for the night.
Ethan got a few gifts but this one was Rob's favorite.
Here is another look at Cake Balls. They are like lollipops on a stick. In a few pictures you may notice Ethan is not wearing a diaper... he has decided to be potty trained and does exceptionally well for a 2 year old. Underwear was his choice.
Halloween treats from Grandma
This is Halloween morning. Rob was trying on some old masks and Ethan just had to wear one with his bat costume of course. they wore their costumes ALL DAY.
So who is the one in the middle? This picture was taken as we were leaving to knock on doors all the way down to the church, then "trunk-or-treat" at the church, then knock the opposite side of the street on the way back.
Oh my goodness look at all that candy. Just looking at it is making my tummy hurt. How are we ever going to stop ourselves from getting sick everyday till it is gone?
So this is Halloween night. After all the fun was over the kids sat on the front porch and gave candy to all the "older" kids who came knocking. We closed shop at around 8:30pm. See our tree in the front yard? It is wrapped in orange lights.
It's the week before Halloween and time to carve up the "punkins" Notice the look on Ethans face.. "ewww".
Rob helped Cosette and Ethan while Emma helped the wild one (Isaac).
Here is the finished product, nothing fancy like the last few years, just normal faces but tons of fun.
This is Ethan... SO CUTE! He is wearing his bat costume. Halloween was still weeks away.
All three hanging out in a box. What shall we do with them? Ship them to CA or TX?
Not sure what Cosette is doing here... playing dress-up I am sure.
Fall has arrived and hence all the leaves have fallen. Remember the days when we played in leaves?
Isaac is very proud of his work he does in preschool. He's such a big boy. Of course he would not be Isaac without a dirty face.
Slumber-party in Cosette's room. Occasionally we let them sleep in the others room. Most of the time they do not sleep and end up going back to their own room. This night they all fell asleep.
Watching a Disc Golf course be set up in the backyard. We always wanted to live on a golf course. Emma doesn't like the foot traffic but Rob doesn't think it is so bad.
