Christmas Scrapbook Pages

The Poulson family has started a tradition of making scrapbook pages for Marie each year. That way she can still have pics of the kids and grandkids from throughout the year even though they are ALL married now! I really waited until the last minute this year and only had this morning to make them in time to have them printed for Christmas. So, nothing fancy, but I've posted them before and thought I would do so again.

Let it Snow!

Wow, welcome to winter in Utah. We have just been pounded the last week or so, and we are expecting another big storm this weekend. We still don't have the driveway all the way shoveled from the last storm! We have definitely been spoiled having our snow removal taken care of the last... well, forever! I haven't had to shovel since I moved out at 18. So we have some conditioning to do to get in shape for shoveling! I got halfway through the driveway and gave up. :)





If the snow pictures seem dark, it's because we went out at **7:30** AM when the boys were so excited they couldn't wait another minute. ;)


Well, I finally managed to snap a few pics of the boys so I could get my card ordered. Sheesh! You will have to wait for your copy to see the card, but here are a few of the pictures.

Too Big For Words

...or just big enough? Gabe has been doing a great job in Kindergarten so far, and his reading is really taking off! He knew all his letters and sounds already, but taking that step to reading words is such a big deal! He started reading some small words like cat, dog, etc in preschool, and now he is just taking off! His school has a reading program where they send home a new little book each day geared toward their individual reading level. Sometimes it's hard to find books with just the "smaller" words, or we just don't bother to check those out since the story isn't usually very interesting! But this is great because they keep it organized for you. They read 20 books from each level and then move to the next. He is on the second level now, and has memorized all of his high frequency words plus more! We are sooo proud of our smart guy!

Here is a video of him reading his book from yesterday. He read it through once and did such a great job I wanted to record him so I could post for family out of town. So this is just the second time reading through this book.
