What 's outside your window?

So the weather has been non stop snow since we got back to Syracuse. I am pretty sure i have never seen so much snow in my life. This is a good day the sun is shinning so Cass and I decided to make the most of it and go play in the snow. It was still so cold outside we only lasted about 10 minutes. It was still so nice to feel the sun on our faces. Cassidy would walk down the paths and the snow in some places would be above her head so crazy. As you can see in one of the pictures Ben is digging the car out of our driveway. Of course he does it without a jacket. The picture of the icicles is right out our bathroom window. That is another thing that is crazy here. So many icicles hanging every where. Guess you better pay attention to were you are walking. Don't want to be walking under one of those that is for sure.

Josie and Scott

So Wow! I am feeling older now my baby sister got married. It is crazy to think that now everyone in the family is now married. We really lucked out while being home. We were able to be there for Christmas the wedding and little Jaxon came right before we left. The hardest part was coming back to so much snow. I am still setting here thinking what did i do moving to such a cold place? If it isnt snowing it is -10 and i am not kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christmas in Utah

We had a ton of fun in Utah during Christmas. It was so nice to be home. We were able to stay for a month, which was nice; however, the time went by too fast. Cass and I flew home by ourselves on Dec 1st...that was an experience! I had never flown by myself, so i knew it was going to be interesting. Of course my flight from Syracuse left late which made me miss my conecting flight in Washington D.C., so Cassidy and I had to kill 4 hrs in the airport waiting for the next flight to Vegas. It made for one long day. I was very greatful when it was over. Ben came to Utah on Dec 16th after finals.

Here are some of the things we did while we were there. Grandma let us make cookies with the cousins. As you can tell, Cassidy still hates Santa. To say she did not want to sit on his lap is an under statements; she wouldn't even look at him. As you can tell the bottom picture, poor Grandpa, hope his back will be okay after this

Syracuse Zoo

As you can tell Cassidy really enjoyed the park. It was a little cold but worth it. She actually got close to the cages and i never heard the words "To Big To Big" This time.

Halloween

We had a lot of fun for Halloween. Cassidy was a cute little fairy princess and now insists on being one every day. Cassidy was not liking the idea of the trunk or treat. She thought there were to many scary people. We had a party with a lot of friends from the ward. Yes that is Ben as a ghost he made the costume all by himself. Great job baby, scary enough to scare your own child....... I decided to get a little creative a make a pumpkin cheese ball for the fun event.

FALL

Cassidy swinging in our back yard. We still cant believe how many leaves are every where. The back yard is loaded with them and Cass has had so much fun running through them. To bad it is to cold to go play in them now.

Chittenango Falls

Our little outing to Chittenango falls. such a pretty place, and it's only 20 min from our house. Don't make fun of the fact that none of us got ready for the day because when we decided to check the place out, we thought we were going to have to hike; little did we know there were stairs that went all the way to it. It was a great day. Cassidy enjoyed throwing rocks into the water; life doesn't get any better. As you can see, Ben is being himself trying to cross the river without falling in...he went home with very wet feet.

New York State Fair

So we decided to check out the New york state fair. We had lots of fun i was surprised with all the free stuff they had to offer. It was like walking into a zoo. Cassidy wasn't to sure about all the animals. When we got close to them all she could say was " To Big To Big".

We have arrived!!!!!!!

Ben's first day of school.

So this is our little place. We cant complain were really lucked out. Huge back yard and lots of space for Cassidy to run. We love it. We will see if we like it as much when the snow comes.

Packing up for the long trip

So Ben, Ben's dad my dad and Sam drove the uhaul and the car the long drive of 2300 miles. It took them 3 days so they made pretty good time. So greatful to them for doing that so i didn't have to ha ha......................

Cassidy turned 2

So we had so much fun at Cassidy party. All the family went up to pine valley and went camping for the weekend.
