Friends Come Over To Play in Snow!

Our friends walked to our house a few days ago. While the kids John and Kyle played outside in the snow. While Laura, Evy(their Baby) and I stayed in the warm house and watched from the window. They all played for along time. John was such a good sport to keep helping the kids with the sleds. I am sure he was tired of walking up and down our hill.

When the kids were all done we had Hot Chocolate, Cookies and Chips and Salsa. A strange combo I know. It was still very yummy! We had such a great time. We have to do it again soon.

Mom Song

My sister in law sent this to me and I thought you all might enjoy it.
It is all the things a Mom might say in 24 hours put into a song.







Remember to turn off my playlist first so you can hear it.

Merry Chistmas!!!

Merry Christmas from the Hoisingtons!!!

More Snow Fun

Fun in the Snow!!

Today was our first no school day for snow. We all had such a fun time playing in the snow. It snowed all morning and we have about 6 inches. Our back yard is great for sledding. The only thing is we have to be careful not to run into the house. The neighbor girls came over and played in it with us.

Kyle even decided to get the snow cone flavoring out and they made snow cones or just put the flavoring in the snow and ate it.

I even went sledding down the hill with Lydia. This is the first year where Lydia actually wanted to play in the snow and stayed out side for a long time. She even went exploring by herself in the woods.

We then came in and had hot chocolate and then watched the new Narnia movie. The girls really liked it. I think they are just about ready to go back out and play.

It has been a fun day.

Tree Decorating

 

 

 

 

A couple of weeks ago we got our tree out of storage. When Kyle went to get the tree he found in the box with the tree a mouse nest. There weren't any mice in the nest. Just to be safe when he decided to leave the tree on the porch overnight. We brought the tree in and decided this year we would put it in our living room. I really like it in there. Each of the girls have their own box of ornaments so they put them up. Poor Lydia only had 2 since she is only 2. We let them pick out an ornament every year.

It's all pink and nothing else at the Hoisington's

Well, we finally had our ultrasound and the new baby is all pink. We are having a Girl! We are extremly excited to be having another girl to add to our family. No looking for ties or cub scout uniforms. It will be all dresses, barbies, hormones and eventually wedding dresses. We have several all girl families in our ward and glad to still be a part of that group! Thanks to everyone who was rooting for a boy but I guess that isn't what the lord has planned for us.

Halloween

We love the great pumpkin!


My little Horse,Queen Bee, Cinderella and Witch.


I have to confess I can't believe it has been over a month since I last posted something. Please forgive me. So here is our Halloween pictures. It was the last night for our family to see Carlee and Spencer before they left for sunny San Diego until Feb. We have been missing them a lot. The good news it was the day that My Dad came home from San Diego. So We had a family dinner in honor of him returning and Carlee leaving. It was a lot of fun.

We then went to our annual Trunk or Treat! The kids loved it. We were then off to Grandma Hoisington's for the Great Pumpkin. This tradition has been going on since Gabby was about 2. All the grand kids come over and search in the dark with flashlights for their bag of goodies. They all had a lot of fun!
