Neff Snowman Family!!!

My kids have been waiting for-ev-er to build a snowman. It hasn't been good packing snow until today. They built a huge snow man and then we were having so much fun that we just kept building!!



Here is Snowbaby Jackson.
Oh yeah you see it right- Billy gave my snowwoman some snowcones!!!



My sons are full on BOYS. They could hardly wait for me to take a picture before knocking them down. - BOYS :)

Santa Baby...Hurry down the chimney....

The kids were so excited for Christmas! They were able to open 1 present on Christmas Eve. (Their jammies from Grandma and Grandpa). They tracked Santa on the Internet all day and wanted to stay up to see Santa come. We made cookies for Santa and Austin wrote Santa a letter.

Dear Santa,
Have one cookie, give one to Rudolph, and leave 4 for us.
Why is Vixen always always wet? Because he is a reindeer!!
Love, Austin Jacob Neff





Carson has been so fascinated by Santa this year. He was so excited to see Santa and sit on his lap. Both times he was so happy and just kept looking at Santa.
The only thing he asked for was a pterodactyl, and was very excited Christmas morning to open up 3 pterodactyls. He also got a "Woody Doll" that has a sleeping bag and lantern. It is fun to see him carry it around.
The boys also got a race car track. It is tons of fun for all of us!
We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. I know we did!
Oh yeah, Billy got me a trip to Mauchu Picchu. So if anyone wants to watch my kids - PLEASE let me know!!!!!!

I cut my hair and LOVE it!

So, I could not take it anymore. My hair was falling out in clumps! (It does everytime after I have a baby.) This is the shortest I've ever cut my hair. It is so freeing and I don't know if it was the hair or not, but I lost a pound and a half! YEAH!! I love it! Billy - not so much- .

Winter Wonderland!

Every chance Carson gets, he wants to be out playing in the snow!
He has had a blast! I love getting him all bundled up. He gets so excited and has a hard time waiting for me to put on his gloves and boots.




Yesterday we took the kids sledding. We had a ton of fun. Mia and Maddi came with us and had fun sledding down the hill and then we went to a big open field and played "fox and geese".



Maddi getting snow down her neck! BURRRRRRRRRRR!



Best Buddies! Mia's grandma told me that after we brought her home she slept for 16 hours straight. I didn't realize it took so much energy to keep up with the boys. They definitely played hard!
I have really been enjoying the snow this year. (We usually don't get this much) The first night it really snowed, I stayed out til after 1 a.m. shoveling snow. It kept snowing and I just kept shoveling!
The kids had a 2 hr. delay for most of last week. It was so nice to have time to make a real breakfast and get all bundled up with the kids and walk to the bus stop and have snow ball fights while waiting for the bus. Yes, I know I'm a dork, but the kids loved it! Carson thought he was really big by being able to hang out at the bus stop.

For those of you who need your Jackson fix.....

Crabs, Crabs, Crabs....

Billy took the boys to the coast to go crabbing. They went with the Hansen's and Scott's. From the looks of it, they had tons of fun!!
I wish I could have gone, but I didn't want the baby to be cold.
We had a crab feast and it was GREAT!
Carson is pretending to be sicked out, but really he couldn't stop touching them.




Austin was so proud of how many they caught.
Carson was a trooper. Billy told me that after the long drive to the hotel, the kids were all sleeping, and Billy asked "who wants to go crabbing" - Carson woke right up and was so tired and said "I do, I do!" In the morning they had to get up really early to head out, Billy asked the same question and Carson was out of bed and putting on his shoes saying "I want to go crabbing.. don't leave me." All the other kids were still sleeping...hahahaha
He is such a sport and ready for anything!






And of course I had to post this pic of Maddie! She is so cute!
