I am grateful for TIME # 30

  The Treasure 

A loser looses time. 

A winner gains time.

Is time a treasure, or is time

a lost treasure, in the way it is used?

Is it a great treasure in the
way it is understood.
Or do we set it aside to ponder
upon, so as to get the full 
use of this special gift of time?
Setting it aside gains nothing.
It has to work in order to improve it self.
If it doesn't work it will die, not fulfilling 
it's purpose in life and a positive attitude in our life.
A.E. Maddocks

Time is something that has happen to everyone and this time on earth can seem to go so slow when your young. But with each stage of my life there has been slow moment fast moment of time and just boring ones. but I am grateful for time because it keep going even when you think you can't and you want it to stop it still moves on. An because it does keep moving it helps heal all wounds and I hope to gain something from such wounds and with time over come it all. I am grateful for time with how it has moved forward to the time that I am now a mother and wife. Best part of my time here. But also the time spent here getting to know other I know some I have meet before I came to earth. It been so cool to get that feeling but to also be a part of there live for just a little bit or till one of us goes home to our heavenly father. One of these dear people is My children Nana Dotttie who now may not even remember us because she has all timers. But she has made our time on earth rich. We tried to share the gospel with her but it's just never work out. I know that when she does past on it will be cool to do her work for her and know when she ready to except the gospel she will not have to wait long.  When I was longer I remember waiting for the day when I would find the one who take me to the temple. I felt like to would take forever now six years and three children later. Trying to get my second child J.J. potty trained seem like forever  a way. But with ever blink life goes fast I hope that I will not forget lack sleep it worth it all. Especial when take the time to enjoy breathing and living and smiling more.

Thirty thing I am grateful for, and will write about this month if possible

It's fall time, to be grateful for the leave and thirty other little things

Thirty, I will start with you and work my way down to the number one thing I am grateful for and the one thing I wish to write most about. Let see well I am grateful for time. Time to grow and learn when it moves slow though the night or when it takes forever some night to get my babies to bed or just get them to stay a sleep. I love time for bring change and it's the one thing that is always the same but never the same.


Twenty nine, Age with comes wisdom experiences and well lines and wrinkles and Gray or white hair. An sometime makes part of are body hurt or do thing it never did when we were younger. But I am not scared of age I am scared of not enjoying each age to the fullest. An yes my single collage years were cut short but I am not sad for that really. I just know I want to enjoy what age will bring and not be scared to get old I will be young again one day. Then it will be Forever!!


Twenty eight, Travel, I have travelled to a lot of places in the United State and hope to do more travelling with my family. If I do not ever leave the USA and get to see most it I will be happy it's amazing how each new state is like another country from the way they talk to there manner everything is different.


Twenty seven, Running and working out have become my way to get things out I can't in any other way. Besides that the way you feel when you know you lungs should hold you back and you still run anyway and get to where you are running three miles three days a week ( so want to get there again) and you can do it and you look and feel good because that it's so cool.


Twenty six, Callings in the church. I am a Relief Society teacher  and I love it but sometime I wonder what heavenly father though I had to give. When I feel I am getting so much more then I give this such a cool calling I did it  once before when I was in the single ward but I love it so much now. I am glad that I am glad to be given the chance to do it again. I was going to school to be a teacher so to be one that lold has called is even better.


Twenty five, My house I am so glad I looked in to foreclose with the agent my husband was getting listing with already at the time.  That is how we got this home and to have a home to do whatever I want with and every time I make a payment it goes to paying off date not just in a land lord pocket.


Twenty four, Growing up in a small town and growing up outside of Utah. I love Utah and I am glad that live here now but I would  not be who I am if I didn't go to school where I did. Live in the small town and living in New England were people are so strong about what they know made me want to be sure what I wanted out of life and also to help me know who I was.


Twenty three, The beauty of the world around me. No matter where I have stayed or lived in my life there is always something to look at and wonder in, that is beauty created for me. I love all the season for all the different wonders it hold and that I get to see each day.


Twenty two, Losing my wallet when we moved after losing it twice before once for a year at store in town. Then once at the Las Vegas airport. But when we moved to our new home it was gone. so no more wallet so had to get a new recommend and few other things. Best thing  I EVER lost I  gain so much more.


Twenty one, Hand me down cloths are so wonderful after having Thomas being able to have his older brother clothes put him in, it was great. Same goes for having cloths at all they are pain to fold but to be able to wash them and take care of them in my own home is so wonderful and to have so many at times a pain, but we never go naked that kind of nice.


Twenty, Good books I love to read and I have loved living in Utah to get LDS author that are unbelievably good. But when you have to buy each book and it's in a set of 8 or more for ten dollars a pieces it really stinks. However living here I have read so many great books that if I very move a way from Utah I will have to buy so many, so can share them with my little ones.




Nineteen, The scriptures are the best part of my day. I feel like heavenly father has handed me the personal journal of some the greatest men and some women in the world. From his own life to the Nephites and Joseph Smith. I come to see how much I need to change and work on thing but also how much heavenly father loves me.


Eighteen, New car, not brand new but new to us. My In-laws are selling us there old one for hundred dollars and we will soon have two cars. It need some work but we will have it when Kern takes Bob our other car to work. Plus we still have to name it and I haven't gotten any idea from my children but this will be my car to use whenever such a blessing.




Seventeen, General Conferences Was amazing this year both in April and Oct the things we were told to do and given up lift-meant on were just what I needed. I got to read all the talk from April and set goals plan to do the same with this month Ensign also, can't wait.


Sixteen, 28 of June 2010 Well it was a  week to the due date of our third child. We didn't have a first name for him then, yet. An I had been in the day before thinking it was the real thing. But when it wasn't and woke with same pain I though no this can't be it he would be a week early but sure enough it was. Our little Thomas after the prophet Kern after his daddy got here at 5:30pm wow it was and is one the best days of my life. He was 8 pound and 15 oz 20 1/2 inches.


Fifteen, June 19, 2004 Six year ago So six year go by in a blink and I wouldn't change a thing but to remember to bring our cake knife. Rent a tux for Kern for my bridle pictures and try and will someday make a point to go to the temple each year and do sealing. Something always has come up, so this next year we aren't going to let anything stop us.


Fourteen, Aug 1, 2010 The day  my husband gave our third child a name and a blessing and the hardest thing was there no mic. But he was blessed to follow the priesthood bear before him and to be like his name sake. Both them, and we didn't take enough picture of that weekend but it was a wonderful time to be together with all our family. Not all the Uncles ( my brothers) could be there but they were there in spirit. It was a very special day for me.


Thirteen, Five years old EMMA IS FIVE My little girl is old enough now to let her go to school note that I didn't say send I let her go. I was planing on home school but I felt she need this as well to go and learn from other good teacher then her parents. She has become quit a a little tomboy in a dress is the best way to put it. She so much like me but so her own little person who want to be a part but have her own part. She is so caring helpful and creative. My days moments and year she has been in my life have never been the same.


Twelve, Grand Parents The 12 of Oct is grandparents day and I never felt like I had a grandparent who I enjoyed the most but there were moment growing up and now that will never forget that make me laugh even today. One of them is grandma Dowdle having a fit about something to do with there mission they were going on in Africa. Don't remember the reason only that it was funny to watch a sixty something year act like a two year old. Then there is the love my parent for there grandchildren that is one best things in the world like the gift of a lobster for Emma.


Eleven, Buddy walk My little hero's and I went to show support for families with children who have special needs. It was  a wonderful and we had funny helping others so walking and playing it was great.


Ten, Locks of love I final went in to just get my hair termed, but when they asked what I wanted to do I really wasn't sure. So told the hair stylist of my want to cut my hair and give to lock of love but didn't know if I had enough. So I asked and she said you have 12 and she showed my with her comb how short it would be if I did it. An  I have been growing my hair for our whole marriage I have cut it but not this short ever. So I did, and got a free hair cut.






Nine, Wisdom teeth pulled check falling with baby check, fractured ankle priceless Kern went in for a clean one day, came back needing the rest the wisdom teeth pulled. The first two were pulled when we were first married now he need the other done. Ok no be deal took him over dropped him off got lunch went back. Went home took the Thomas up stairs to change him and well tripped over JJ truck and fell twisted my ankle really bad, I was more worried about the baby who started screaming he was fine me not so much. So before the weekend was over I got a walking cast and we all got to stay home from church together so fun. Unforgettable weekend.


Eight, My Dad 's I say Dad's because there is first and for most my dad who raised me and then my father in law who are both a lot a like in that they are hard workers. I have learned from my dad that you talk with heavenly father every morning and night if have to read something when your going to be spending time in the bathroom the scripture are a good one. An Holiday's are not play days there are work days. My other dad let me know how not to talk to my husband and how if I need anything he is there. The dad who trust me to make it back with my family and his trust well placed shows me I am the most important thing he will ever have in this world and he want me home with honour.




Seven, My Mom's I say Mom's also because my Mom is the one I want to be most like but there is also the way my teacher Lori, showed a to teach in a way I wanted to teach as Mom she was a Mom to me in that moment. There is my Mom laughing at me when she know I did something bad but finding it funny. Teaching me sometimes it better to laugh. There is Edie to teaching me to let my children of have agency but help understand there agency. My Mom showing how to bake and cook and Becky teaching me how to cook some of my husband favourite.




Six, The Holidays like them or not when things go wrong or right I am glad I have them with my family here, Boston or wherever. I would not have some thing best and silly moment with out such holidays but if we could have less drama that would be great. Then again I think it will only prepare me for my own teen drama my children will have at that time with boys girls or life all together. It's only going to be better from here more fun and also more a bout what matter most he true meaning behind the holiday and those I love again testimony and wonderful moments.




Five, The Holy Ghost He brought my husband and together he told us to start our family. He has guided me though school what to do with my little ones when I worry. He is one my best friend and I am so glad that he was given to me as gift at eight I hope only to teach my children better then, I was taught how to use him from start. How to feel him close and why you or anyone would want him as there best friend.




Four,My Boys, I have two boys now JJ and Thomas are my little men there so sweet JJ is the one who loves hair he want to just play with. He was my biggest worry when I cut my hair, don't worry he still plays with it. He smiled from the minute he was born till now. Thomas is my big boy ready to go a week early and looks just like daddy jj a good mix of both Thomas is his daddy double. He loves to talk the minute he started screaming to ever little sound he loves to let you know he is here to be held or listened too.


Three, My Girl Emma is so like me the little girl in dress climbing the tree and getting dirty.She loves her hair long hate doing anything with it. She also is the biggest help with her brother being a little mother to them but also being willing to let them know when they bug her or step out of line. She has here dad mind when come to learning things and she loves to sing.


Two My Husband, Mr. Bowler holds my heart and beyond the lord my trust in way no one has before him. He makes me laugh and stand by me no matter what. He not perfect but his mine and we are sealed in the temple so have heavenly father help in all of thing. Kern has help with my goals and my testimony I love him.






One My Heavenly Father and My Testimony if had to give it all to be with heavenly father, I feel I would do so. Heavenly Father has given me everything I have my family my life and my chance to use my agency to get back to him or not. My testimony is my  way of getting though everything the things the holy ghost has witnessed to me  remind me of where I came from and where I plan to return one day. I hope and pray I never have to choice between family and or something just as dear as the lord. Because it may almost kill me but I will choose the my God.
 

Fifty things, I love about you being fifty

(To My Dad just because he is amazing and always there for.)

One, having  a party combine party with your Grandson who is two and getting to see how young a Grandpa you really are.

Two, the fact that your grandson cares your middle name. It would been your first but you didn't want him to be teased about it in school.


Three, son is a great honor to have they may not always listen to you like they should but they all look up to  you and love believe or not.


Four, is the number of children you  have. But don't worry the number of grandchildren you have will be at least double that if not more.  if possible


Five, minute with and that is all you need to tell people about the gospel. It shows in your walk and talk but if and when you get the chances you share it.


Six, is how many all together are in are family it may not be much but you are are our fearless leader and as you follow heavenly father will go where you go with out questions.


Seven, the day we became seven us and the cat you didn't like at all but the cat loved you and know who to kiss you too. You like him now.


Eight, the day we became eight and we brought the dog in you really didn't like that day. Now you are waiting for the day he died because he doesn't like you anymore then you like him.


Nine, when we got to nine in our family I think we were all glad it wasn't the cow you were going to get because we got a dog. Mom and you welcome Edie in to our home which we now are so glad you did.


Ten, years goes by in blink you had us and we welcomed Edie and before you know your oldest children are gone to school. Then one comes home says she is getting married and now you have tow grandchildren soon three. 

Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen, Fourteen, Fifteen, Sixteen, Seventeen, Eighteen, Nineteen, I think you were so glad when all your children made though there teen safely. But when all were able to date and start driving I think you wanted to backward in age instead forward.

Twenty, So that when I got married yes a year younger then you but I wasn't going to be as young as mom a teenager still. An I know you worried and still worry but thanks for being there and supporting me in the best choices of my life.


Twenty One, I know  twenty one reasons not say I am bored. You always found work for us to do. An even thought I only lived in your house just short of 21 I know that if you don't find something to do you would find work for us.


Twenty Two, Twenty Three, Twenty Four, Twenty Five, Twenty Six, Twenty Seven, Twenty Eight, Twenty Nine, Thirty, I  know that being late for church was something you hated so always tried and did get there early. Sometime thirty minute or more but it showed to us all. Being on time to anything is really important being on time to church was double that.


Thirty, is how old your son in law will be you are twenty year older then him looking back. Is thirty that old. He thinks he is old when he turns thirty. Your fifty and your not old so when you can tell him what it was like for you. You make Fifty look easy Thirty must have been a breeze.


Thirty One, I am sure you could name Thirty One things we your children did or didn't do that you wish we had when you asked or even if you didn't ask you wish we had not. Don't worry your grandchildren are getting even for you on my end so be happy about that.


Thirty Two, Thirty Three, Thirty Four, Thirty Five, Thirty Six, Thirty Seven, Thirty Eight, Thirty Nine, Forty, I think that is about how many time if not more would wake up to your singing O What A Beautiful Morning. It was the best times those morning a long with that we had started over and over trying to make it a habit of reading scriptures. It didn't always stick no matter how hard you tried, but we know that singing and scripture were important for our family.


Forty One, I remember that is only took five minute was all took to do a job. Or so you said was five minute growing  up that turned in to ten the twenty then thirty . So some day it will be forty because lets face one day you will be old. 


Forty Two,  Being there for me to talk or give a blessing keep me out of lot trouble. I hope it does the same for my children.


Forty Three, For being super human your in pain everyday yet you push through it and you have never had caffeine expect for hot chocolate to keep you going.


Forty Four,  You are so honesty and even when teased for years about a cow that gave chocolate milk. You wouldn't back down it was true. You found when married mom how was gone. So I learned stick to you to the truth. 


Forty Five, That you named me Melissa, and that you wanted to be my dad before we got here you took on a lot.


Forty Six,  When we would ask where we going "crazy want to come."
I tell your grand children the same thing now.

Forty Seven, When my children start to cry I tease with your weeeehheee cry that you always did to us and Emma and JJ both find it funny. But the trouble with that is they do it with Thomas who doesn't understand the whole joke but the tease of favorite crying goes on because it's something I loved and still do about you. 

Forty Eight, I do what you do I try to always get them to smile like you do now and did when we were young. I say here it comes here it comes and then they smile and get mad about like we did but it always made me feel better. The same happens with your grand children. 

Forty Nine, That you helped me learn to get up early and not get mad when I am woken up early by little ones or anyone for that matter at girls camp whatever to be there for others then to make the sleep later if I can if not know I will be able to rest more from worries when I am dead.


FIFTY,  you are so amazing it may taken well over fifty days to get this out. An life has keep us both at fifty miles an hour run all day long. But I am so glad that I could share with our family and friend how wonderful you are dad. I sure am glad to be your daughter and that you live fifty years of amazing example anyone would be proud of . I know this four month shy of your next birthday but I couldn't go with out saying I how grateful I am that your my dad.

Soon there will be Five and the Guys have the Girls out number for Now

Littlest Bowler before we found out what you were.....

In case you still think it's a girl Grandpa.

 Dear Littlest Bowler~ We found out on March 22,2010 that there will soon be three boys men guys in this home and two girls. We meaning Emma and I wanted another girl because I always wanted a sister and never got one. So I was hoping that you would be a girl just for for her. I have also loved how she has named all her baby dolls Sarah Beth in hopes for a little sister. But as sweet as can be she said and I know you heard her say that she " I wanted a little brother too." So now the trouble we are having is your name....

There is our Emma breech . Littlest Bowler same thing great picture of them both but breech is not how you should be.

See said she was a girl and here she is Emma Rose they can tell dad.

Now here's how it went with your sister, I always wanted a Emma Rose from the time I was sixteen years old. Like her, when got a picture of you for the first time you  both are breech, feet up by your head and right under my ribs not comfortable for me but it seems to suit the you two great.  
 Any who your dad and I agreed on Emma's name right after we found out she was a girl it was easy. Plus I wanted that name because I love Emma Smith your dad like the idea of naming your sister after such a Elect Lady so that was that.
\

See boy here also Grandpa and JJ is here so I think he will have a little brother.

Three month a long  with JJ. Not the best profile, your face is turned a way from us. 

Your brother took some work no scripture names and when your dad wanted to call him George I said no because it reminded me of George the Monkey and George from my best friends wedding who is gay. We went over weather naming your brother after family or after your  dad. He said no on him because of the whole him being teased for his name Kern. Which OK, so not wanting to favor either grandpa we decide to go with both there middle names wanting to honor both them. Plus your Grandpa Bart was teased for being a Bart. So not favor one over the other we went with the middle names and that is how we got Jeffrey Jensen or JJ for short so that is how he got his name.

But you my son the second boy to come in the house have a middle name which is your dad's because I told him how much  I wanted a Kern like him I love his name. It the Zachary part that I thought was ok. But after seeing you doesn't fit at all. So what your name be we will find out I just know I want a name for you before it gets to close. I could be in labor for a hours and have all that time or I could have another c-section  I pray not but we shall see. All I know is that you will carry this name every where you go and like your Sister and Brother I want you to have name that you can look up to the example of who you are named for. They were both name for someone your sister Emma Smith and your brother was for your Grandpa's both there middle names.  So yes your going to be a Kern like your daddy but what will call ,so will not be teased for being my little Kern. O time will tell and lots more talking with your dad. 

Littlest Bowler Feet.

Emma Rose feet, JJ on the other hand only let us see that he was a boy he was camera shy then but grown on him a little.

I love you littlest bowler that what we have called you and will keep calling you till we get a first name for you. You are going to be a Kern like your dad is but what name we will call you all your life I am not sure but it has  fit you already you  are so different and strong like your siblings and dad. Not just strong as in stubborn that not what I am saying but there is a strength that you children have that will help you and your daddy get back to heavenly father. My job I think is to guide that strength, will you  in the right way so your strong on the Lords side and know where you should go and be in life.


Love Mom Melissa 
P.S. With you being a boy I know from my blessing that you will be big. It is  what says about my sons. It say your Big Son's so the fact you are boy no surprise at all with my blessing saying son's it also says daughters weather they will be daughter in-laws from here on out we shall see. But why I did I bring this up to you.Well your a week a head in growth so they said when we got your first pictures so you could be early it's up to you on that one. Just please don't be breech.

Double The Fun

 Happy Happy Birthday to my little boy who loves Cars, Reading Together,Singing Wheels on the bus,baseball and Snuggling in on Saturday Morning  for tickle fights.  Can't believe you are two wanting to do everything by yourself in so many ways wanting to be complete independent. But still wanting me to be a step behind or head to make sure it's safe to be so on your own. I have loved ever minute of everyday with you and even when we had hard moments and you would throw a fit and I was warn out it was and will always be worth it.

 
Jeffrey Jensen two parties are always twice the fun. We had a party at Grandma Sharie and Grandpa Bart. It was a combined party your second birthday and your Grandpa Fiftieth birthday. It was one to remember. Being at in Boston you have become a new found fan of Baseball because the talk of the Red socks and playing baseball on the Wii.  So between that and your love of Disney Cars we thought this would be perfect cake and gifts. 


Here is cake Number one the Boston cake home so to speak coming out of a box but well liked by all. But JJ you loved the cars on top so much you had to take them off as soon as we finished singing.

The Second Cake was going to be cup cakes we would make together like this cake. But your daddy had a better idea. So instead he picked up a pie from a favorite places in town . Not just any pie but a chocolate Oreo Cheese Cake pie. It was so good. 

The best part of both Cakes was singing and by the time we did it the second time at home just us as a family. You were smile and giggles know you got to blow out the candles your favorite part it was so cute.  With both parties you got some really cool persent  they call get played with a lot. The biggest one is your bed your so happy to have your own big bed you can get in and out whenever you want with trouble. But here are the other, Cars the Movie, Baseball glove& ball, Thomas the Train Flash light and your Froggy Potty sit with Car stickers to make it JJ potty sit.

All these gift were fun to watch you open play with or use for the first time. You do everything with your whole heart. I am looking forward to this new year of fun. One of which I hope will be potty train which is going really well so far. You love your potty sit and have gone in it twice now. We add more stickers as we go so by the time we are done you will not able to tell it's a frog but you are so happy putting a new sticker on every time  you sit on the potty and that fine with me.  Also watching you throw the ball and try and caught it will your whole body . It starts with that tongue like your mom sticking out trying to concentrate on caught it and then jumping forward with your glove held out yelling caught its great.  

So two years down so many more to go. I hope that you love it as much as I do and that we keep having moments together as family and friends that we can caught on camera like this. 

Love Mom

Dearest Grandma Sharie,
When we had a planned a ready to come to your house for month we had a list of things to bring.

So we made to your home happy to be there loving the snow and no present or card. You thought we might have sent in the mail so you look for everyday till we got there. When we did get there Emma said we forgot her present mom. So it was the first weekend there and you remember us trying to get Emma use the two hour differences. Well because she was sharing my bed she had not gone to sleep. Mom I think between her and JJ you were warn out because you were already in bed. So Edie, Emma and I were still a wake as wrote in my journal and just talking. I asked Edie what I should do to make the lost of the birthday present being on time. Emma you piped right in we should have a party. A party with cake and ice cream, her favorite food and big present and decorations every where in the house. So  I wrote down all your ideas and everything we you wanted to get the list goes as follow.

An for whatever reason in this picture JJ is giving it a kiss then tackles it.   HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM  WE LOVE!!!

Snow Angels, Snow man, and Eating Snow

How I am Embarrassed to say have missed New England Snow.  Why may be because it stay longer then an afternoon and because it smells different. You don't have to believe me but when you leave in the dessert and you can smell the rain coming,and the snow but it's different. It's the  same in England but the snow smells different, it has a clean wonderful pure smell. I also love how a blanket of white is claiming and just peaceful.  An so fun when your children wake up screaming snow and wanting to go out and play at 8am so we got dressed and headed outside. We made snow angels and we had a goal of making three snow men each one our size. But we only got to make two.  There was one my JJ size and one my Emma size and we did get a lot more snow it just never stayed long. It didn't stop my two little one from opening the door as it snowed, jumping up and down going crazy  over it every time. Then there was waking up to the two of them jumping on the bed  because it had snowed that night and it was all white out side. Like I said there is nothing like new snow and especial New England snow.  My  Emma thought snow tasted better then ice cream and had us all try it out and as for the angels. Emma and JJ were the snow angels they wanted to be out there all day if we didn't have other fun things planned out, we would have been. Sad to say we only got two really snow day, but we did get to see what snow flacks look like up close personal by a caught  them on our gloves. An they got to know what it feels like to have snow fall on you as your run around in it and not have gone by the next day it was some special moments for us.

 First Snow man JJ size. 

This is are Valentine Snow man, it took a bit to even get JJ size the snow just wasn't the right mix.

Still on step one it took a long time but we had fun in between the building of our Valentine Snow man. Emma helped Grandma Sharie Clean the car of and gave her a snow ball to keep in freezer.

Eating Snow in between helping build, I said Snow is better then Ice Cream !

We are now in the middle part of the Snow man almost to the Head.

 

Final we got to the head of our snow man now to put the hat, nose and eyes and mouth on. Let see is as big as JJ......

Here is JJ where more cloths then he has ever his whole two year old life

 

Here is are Valentine Snow Man see his eyes are made of chocolate heart and his lips are a chocolate lips.

 
Here they are together and as you can see chocolate eyes and mouth wouldn't stay long so,

each eat a one of his chocolate eyes or mouth and gave him a new faces for his close up with JJ.

Our second Snow Man was also had different eyes and nose his was made of money.

He was Emma size, he took even longer to make but we don't have any picture showing the steps.

These where are only real snow days. As you can see with Emma Snow man we had to use the

shelve to get this one all done but we did it. 

  

At end of each Snow man building we had to go jump on the trampoline even if we had to clean it off first it just would be Grandma's with out jumping on the trampoline. Then also like all young children they had to test how well there snow suit padding and soft of snow by jumping of the trampoline. Before mom could help them down it was the perfect ending to both day. Because we had so much fun but no broken bones my children are little dare devils.
