P-Diddy's Christmas Concert

Check this out.  Preston has the heebie-jeebies while standing next to girls.  This was his very first Christmas concert, and Maren was a proud Mama.

Christmas Preparations

It's that time of year again and the Christmas preparations are coming along nicely.  Of course we are adjusting, again, to a new place with lots of snow and space.  The kids are loving playing outside and with each other (as long as Preston is the one drawing on Noah's face and not the other way around).  

We had to get a few new snow toys for the boys and since Maren says that snowmobiles are out of the question (for now) we had to settle on cheaper sleds.  I am pretty sure that Noah only stayed in the sled because I bought him the one with the seatbelt.  With an older, loving brother like Preston you would have done the same.

So we bought a fake tree this year because Maren claims that she's allergic to pine.  Please note there are no presents underneath the tree, and that would be because of Noah.  While Preston has really learned to help his mom, Noah, on the other hand has learned to create havoc.  For the Christmas play this year Noah is going to be the angel; however instead of announcing the birth of the Christ, I am afraid he will be more of a destroying angel.

So this is our back yard:)  I know all of you are jealous.  Notice Jared runs with Noah without holding onto him.  I, myself, only figured it out after I took the picture.  This is when Jayne and family came to visit and had a great game of football.  And then thats the back of our house.  For some odd reason I've never taken a picture of the front.  Life is good up here in Sun Valley.  A little slower pace never hurt anybody.  Jared is loving his job and I love having  more time with him, since his schedule is a tad better than in Boise.
