Roller Skating!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We went to the church's Family Skate Night at the YMCA the other day. We were pretty excited to take Noah roller skating for the first time. We weren't even sure if they would have skates small of enough for him, but they did! Noah did a great job but it proved pretty difficult for Scott to get his skating groove on while trying to keep both Noah and himself upright:) In the end it was much easier to push Noah in the stroller...and no, I did not even attempt to roller skate...something about being really pregnant and having no sense of balance!

Play Time!

Two of Noah's favorite things to do are building blocks with daddy and playing with play-dough. Play-dough requires the making of many "snakes" and building blocks requires his daddy's expertise with castle creations! Fun times :)

Christmas with the Evans Family in CA

This year we spent Christmas week with the Evans Family in California. We had a great time visiting and celebrating the birth of our Savior. Pictures include our Christmas celebration in both Greenville at Scott's parents and in Grass Valley with Scott's extended family. You also get to see pictures of Noah's second debut at a shepherd in the toddler pageant!

Tubing in Greenville!

Noah had his first snow tubing experience in Greenville at Grandma and Grandpa Evans's. He wasn't quite sure what to think at first but by the end he was cheering as he went down the hill...so cute!

Santa Claus came to town....

Actually he came to our house! So, we took advantage of the free photo opp!

Mom's Turn!

It snowed again! Overnight and this morning we got about 5 inches of snow which is very unusual for us here. Noah and I went out and built his second snowman...I must say I am proud of my 33 week pregnant self:) Noah loved it and even helped out this time. However, I must admit that the snowman lost his head about an hour and a half later...notice that the one Scott built is still standing in the background of ours a week after it was built! He is the contractor! Also, we must credit my mom for the snowman's face of broccoli, carrots and a red pepper... her contributions!

Family Center

A couple of months ago Scott built a beautiful piece, "The Family Center". It now stands in the foyer of our church and is used to display various pieces of literature focusing on marriage and family. It stands about 7ft tall at the peak and has crown molding accenting the top (currently partially covered by the garland:) I am so proud of Scott's God-given abilities to build and create beautiful pieces of furniture!
