Let it Snow....




When we were driving down to make gingerbread houses on Dec. 8th, 2007 we knew it was lightly snowing, but we weren't prepared for what our house would look like when we got home at 1am. It was cold, but very beautiful! Kenyon had to run outside and take pictures of our house in the snow. It was so pretty.


The next day most of the snow was gone, but we did get some snow on Sunday afternoon after church. It was really nice to have our blinds open and the Christmas tree lights on with huge snowflakes falling in our backyard. Prescott is beautiful.



Banfield POWER!

A few months ago I bought a cheap pair of sunglasses from Ross or some store like that. They were $5, and they had the initials BP (Baby Phat) on them, but they were $5! So, a few weeks later while we were at one of Kenyon's softball games Sophie looked at my sunglasses and asked, "What does BP stand for?". Of course me being the kind and loving sister that I am explained, "Banfield Power!"; she accepted that explanation.

Now Banfield Power has been taken to many other levels. Instead of singing Scripture Power, we sing Banfield Power. It's funny because even Sophie sings this song at really odd times. And, the other night while we were playing "Sequence" Kenyon decided to make the initials BP out of his chips, which of course stood for Banfield Power. Unfortunately, I was on Ellen's team so she and I won.
