The Zoo

We had a "warm spell" for a couple of days and took the kids to the zoo. The boys had so much fun being outside! We went with Ammon's friends Carson and Caden. Carter thinks that he is one of the big boys too! Don't let this first picture fool you- it is really not a tropical paradise here, the kids are inside.


At the zoo we saw some of our friends, the Bomsta's. Carter and Evelyn Bomsta had fun checking out the sea lions.

Austin and Carter check out the sea lions (they were a favorite!)

Puddle Jumping

The past couple of days have been so warm! Yesterday it was 49 degrees and today it got up to 51. The boys were so excited to go outside and play. We went to the park with our friends, the Adams and the boys founds some serious puddles to splash in. They had a blast!



Ammon was happy just to be out of the house.


Carter, Cannon, Karlee and Ammon smile for the camera.

Frost Family Video 2006

I made this video for my parents and Colby's parents for Christmas. Unfortunately, we had some technical difficulties and I could never get it to burn to a disc. It has taken me until now to figure out how to download a DVD encoder to transfer it into a file that I could download onto youtube. Here it is, a late Christmas present- or Happy Valentines Day a day early!

Entertaining ourselves

It has been so cold here lately! One morning it was negative 3 with a wind chill factor of negative 22. Our drain pipe on our washing machine even froze, which resulted in soapy water all over our carpet, kitchen and bathroom- what a mess! Needless to say, we haven't wanted to go outside much. We are trying to find alternative ways to entertain ourselves.


The boys love putting up their tents and tunnels. They fill up our whole living room, buy they keep the boys entertained.

The Science Center of Iowa is a great place to go play, Ammon loves making imprints of his hands and face. I can't remember what these things are called, but the one at the Science Center is huge!


Carter found these sunglasses in Ammon's drawer. He is all ready for Summer!


The mall has a great indoor play area that we frequent. Carter likes to climb inside the Hippo's mouth and pretend he is being eaten.


Ammon has been playing computer games. He hurries through the educational part so he can play the fun games at the end.

Recent Discoveries

When we moved into our townhouse, we told the management that we did not want cable TV. Then a wonderful thing happened. Colby plugged in the TV cable and we had 70 channels of wonderful cable television. We even had the fox soccer channel (which was Colb's dream come true). Free cable. This week tragedy struck our townhouses. They switched cable providers, which in turn cancelled our free cable (along with many of our neighbors). We now get 3 channels. Needless to say, we have been searching for something to fill our ten o'clock hour. (all 3 of our channels broadcast the news at 10). A couple of nights ago, we started watching the home video collection that Colby's dad gave us for Christmas. It was actually pretty enjoyable, and the best part of it is that I discovered something about my husband that I never knew before...


Here it is:
When visiting California in 1989- Colby wore a sweet pair of yellow spandex shorts for four consecutive days.



One day, he wore them with a pink tank top.

The pink tank top reappeared in the Spring of 1990, on Easter morning. This time with a pair of cut off sweatpants.

Contrary to what you may think, this new knowledge of Colby only increases my love for him!

A couple more things:

1. I am not posting these pictures because I am mad at Colby for moving me to a place that only has 3 public television channels.

2. Colby told me that if I posted these pictures of him he would get revenge by posting embarrasing pictures of me. Because I know he lacks both the time and the know how to do this, I am not too concerned about it. Plus, I knew you would all get such enjoyment out of these pictures- how could I not post them?
