Sledding!!

So we are so redneck=) We decided to get out this week and go sledding. So we hooked up our sled dog, the mute, Knuckles and decided he could pull the sled. He did for about a second and figured out it was to much work. The kids had so much fun. It was a blast. Here our some pictures of our adventure with our sled dog. HA HA!!

Grandma Ivie sent the kids a Christmas Card. They loved it. This is a picture of Sydnee when she got her card!!

Sydnee love the music. Thanks Grandma!

We got moved and settled... had thanksgiving....basketball practice....games......Courtney school.......tomorrow his last big defense to graduate.......wow.....we are all looking forward to Christmas and a fun day to be together!! Sydnee and Chase are growing like crazy. They are so excited for Christmas.
We have a fire place and Sydnee is always opening it so Santa can come down the chimney. She just can't wait. Chase is just her little tag along. So full of it. He brings new light to the word "boy". Here are some fun pictures from Thanksgiving and the Smith Christmas party.

I guess it is time to catch up with all our family and friends... We just sold our home and will be moving the end of November.... Courtney is almost done with school... Sydnee and Chase are growing fast....and we are so blessed!! There it is in a nutshell =)

Seems like life always brings about challenges but we are blessed to know that the Lord is mindful of our needs if we are faithful. This month we have experience these blessing.

Here are a few fun moments of fall and Halloween to share...Chase and Sydnee loved the fallen leaves. Sydnee has been into asking question about everything. Why, Why, Why, Why do the leaves fall off? Why is it snowing? And on and on and on..... Exploring the world a bit deeper now. Chase is Sydnee's little friend. Loves to be right by her side. He also is very determined to get his way all the time. Leads to problem, but thank goodness fixable ones!!! He is really into playing with hes animals and putting things in his pocket. He loves to carry around keys. We don't know what is up with this one! Just growing up =)

Halloween we spent the day up in Rexburg with my sisters. The kids had a blast. Chase really got into walking to the doors and would wait till he heard candy drop in his bucket. Sydnee would yell after every door..."I did it myself." So proud. She was the leader to every door. So full of energy, however, the minute she was strap in the car she was out. Took seconds!!

We had so much fun... and of course the candy was fun to pick through... good thing Sydnee was willing to share some...hint...hint.. (some).
