IT'S SNOW TIME!

It snowed about 6 - 8 inches on Monday night, and the kids were so excited. On the way to school that morning Hayden started singing - I looked out the window and what did I see,  snow on the ground, oh, what a treat!! And a treat it was - for them (not me!!) - they had fun playing that afternoon.

I don't know what it is about snow, but the kids always have to eat it! I'm always telling them don't eat the snow - Hayden says "No, just don't eat the yellow snow!!"

Katie had to taste the snow too!

She walked all over the yard until she lost one of her boots, then she was ready to go inside.  That is until Hayden got home from school and went outside to play, so she had to get all bundled up again to go outside and play again!!

I thought I might be able to get a cute picture of all three together - but this is what I got! --Katie eating snow, Hayden looks like he is eating snow too, and I'm pretty sure Kayla is scooping up a big handful to eat too!!

What's been happening with the Hoover's?

Just wanted to do a post on some highlights from the past few months.

August 2011

Hayden enjoyed going fishing with the guys

Meet Rosco -  this is like our 10th dog in 10 years - I could live without one, but I am outvoted 4 to 1!!

Hayden started 2nd grade

SEPTEMBER 2011

Kayla started Pre-K (and she was - and still is - really disappointed that she doesn't get to go to school every day like Hayden does!!)

My kids are growing up way too fast!!!

 Hayden and Kayla wanted to sleep on the air mattress, and Katie crawled right in bed with them. But....we ended up having to put Katie in her own bed because she wouldn't settle down!  

OCTOBER 2011

Kayla celebrated her 5th birthday!

Kayla went on her first field trip - which included a train ride, then a bus ride up the canyon to see the alpacas!

Kayla cooked us some cookies and....

cupcakes with her Easy Bake Oven that she got for her birthday!

We carved pumpkins for the Halloween party at church, --well, Waylen carved Hayden's and Katie's while I carved Kayla's!

The Mad Hatter

The Queen of Hearts

Well, that brings us to November -

and Katie turned 2 on the 7th - we had a little party with just our family (and Grandma Debby) that night, and we will have her party with the rest of the family on Saturday. --I still can't believe that my baby is 2!!
