Update since our last post.. from rattlesnakes to lizards to snow to swimming, this is our adventure:
So as if the mountain lion wasn't enough wildlife, Craig found and killed a baby rattlesnake under our garbage cans. It was about 12-18 inches long… chopped off its head with a big piece of metal and out came the fangs. Glad it was him and not me that found it!
Two days later we came home from church to find a lizard in our bedroom. While Haley and I were jumping up and down on the bed screaming (it gave me the heebie jeebies because those are fast little buggers), Craig caught it and put it outside….after the second incident I’m thinking, “We live in the suburbs of Los Angeles??? Coyotes, mountain lions, rattlesnakes, and lizards…..hmmm….”
Craig, looking enthused to get the lizard.
Haley next to the boxes barrier to keep the lizard from escaping...
The intruder, almost escaped out of that mesh garbage can.
Trying to show the size of him by the pen.
And then we went outside and there was one sitting there too on the handrail....so then there were two.
Went to Utah and spent a week there in the cold with friends and family. Craig flew up for the weekend as I drove, by myself, with our two kids. We built started to build a snowman on Sunday as we awoke to 3 inches of snow. The kids stomped around in it and loved it.
Cole in his element :)
Grandma Frame with the kidlets.
Happy as can be in the snow. Not much of snow coat though.
Oh Yeah! Check out those socks! Woot Woot!
The snowman got too big to lift, so his poor body pieces just layed next to each other on the ground.
Didn't have gloves. So Cole borrowed some of Grandma Frame's.

Cole and Craig after the hunt.
Cole, just chillin' on the floor.
That is not Haley's underwear...they are leggings under her skirt :)
(This happened when we first moved here, I just forgot about it) Driving to Costco, passing Glendale Haley says, “California is really pretty!” Me—“Yes, pretty and expensive” Haley says, “Yeah, Califonia costs like $100 and Utah costs like $1” Pretty close Haley, pretty close!
Haley’s favorite cereal—Smooshed berries (Captain Crunch Berries)
“Mom, you have stinky breath, maybe you should go brush your teeth.” (In my defense, it was early in the morning and I was still in bed and she came to snuggle.)
“Mom, do you see Jesus in your eye? I do when I close my eyes.”
Haley in our pool. It was warm enough one day to get in. But we can't afford to heat it, so she only goes to the second step.
Until next time......

Cole, just chillin' on the floor. Cole’s new things:
Cole is saying Ba Ba! Ba Ba! for every baby he sees…even if they are his same size. Says “Bye Bye Da Da”….Can blow a kiss. Says a low mooing sound for cow (ooooooo)…still a fake laugh for a horse’s neigh…vrrrrrrr for car/truck…..a chomping/chewing sound for a giraffe (I don’t know what the giraffe says, so I taught him a chewing sound), puts his hands together and says “shut” and is trying to say “shoes.” (Sh Sh Sha) He is starting his terrible two’s with his tantrums. We were at the Kangaroo Zoo in Utah and he had one there. Screaming and laying on the floor…as I watching and laughing. I think his tantrums are so funny! I’m sure I won’t think so in the near future, but for now, I think they are hilarious. He is going to be another head-strong child for sure, possibly even more head strong than Haley…is that even possible? If he doesn’t get what he wants a tantrum erupts from his little body.

Haley’s new statements/questions
“How did Jesus make blood for our bodies?” Yeah…try answering that one.
“Mom! I just saved a bee because they are good because they make honey! But do you know what I won’t save? A mosquito!”
