First snow, great visits, and birthday wishes!

So, we FINALLY had our first little snow storm here in Denver for the year! If you didn't already know, I LOVE the snow! I LOVE to watch the snow fall from the sky, and I love to play in it. I also love to ski, but unfortunately, that hasn't happened in a few years. I guess that's what I get for havin babies.:) I'll skip a year of skiing any day if it means that I get to have a baby! ANYWAYS, we woke up this morning to a few things. First, Payton had barfed all over in his bed, Lincoln had pooped his pants, but it had SNOWED! So all in all, our spirits were up. Poor Payton has a mean case of the flu, and Lincoln has a mean case of the potty training blues....what can you do! So, needless to say, it is almost noon and I am still in my pajamas, and have absolutely NO intention of ever changing out of them! I have WAY too much laundry to do, and when Payton is awake, he just wants me to hold him, so pajamas it is! I guess, if you twist my arm and force me I will stay comfy all day. :)
In other news, Cole's big brother Spencer came to town this morning for a few hours! He had a 4 hour layover here in Denver before he went to SLC, so we went and picked him up, gave him a home cooked breakfast, which he hasn't had in a few months, played in the snow a little, and turned back around and took him to the airport! So we have had quite the fun filled morning!
Playin' with Uncle Spenc. Lincoln was SO pumped to play with him!
Playin with Daddy.....Sportin' the camo jammies! Atta boy Link!
Playin on the deck. It's a good thing we played when we did, because shortly after this, the sun came out and now there isn't much snow left! Gotta love Denver snow!

Also, I just want to give a shout out to my baby sister! It is her EIGHTEENTH birthday today! WHAT! My baby sister is 18 years old? That must mean that not only am I old, but my parents are as well! :) Just kidding...they are still young for sure. They just have old kids that's all! But Rachel is the best ever. She is the sweetest little thing and LOVES my kids, and that makes all the difference in the world to me. She is SO great at everything that she does, and boy does she do alot of stuff! She is such a great friend to me, and it is so much fun to see her grow up and do all sorts of new things. I love her so much, and I am so grateful for her example to me in my life! I want to be like you when I grow up Rach! Happy B-day, and go order something off the T.V. for me would ya?
High flyin on the wakeboard. Rach is seriously SO good at all sorts of stuff like this. She started wakeboarding when she was like 8 or something like that. She couldn't even hold up the board, but she surely could jump the wake! I remember after every time she tried to get up and couldn't, or every time that she fell, we would have to come around and flip her board over because she wasn't strong enough to do so herself! Quite the maniac.

Hello!!!!Rootin for the Jazz at a playoff game last year. GO JAZZ!
Of course, on the boat with the Linkster
All the Miles girls...add two more now! Rubydoo and now Mallory!
Common scene when Rach is around. The kids just LOVE her!
Happy B-Day baby Rach...we love you!
