Erin's State Championship Game

Erin played for the State Championship tonight! We have been to many games of her's but tonight we stayed home. The boys weren't feeling 100% yet and it would have been a late night if we'd traveled. We had popcorn and watched the action on our new TV. It's awesome!

A Foot of Snow!

Monday morning we awoke to a Winter Wonderland. I thought it would be good to shovel it (for the exercise) but when I saw how much of it there was and felt how wet and heavy it was...Well let's just say the snowblower in the picture got some use that day!










A Snow Day is a good day to let bunny run around and to play with him in the kitchen.






Bugs is really friendly and very docile. Ian and Colin love to pet him.





It's also a good time to perfect the art of blanket tent making. Mommy and Ian are becoming excellent at it!




Sometimes you get stir crazy in Winter but we played outside in the snow as well. It was fun!



So how much snow did you get?

I have added two new features to all the blogs. On the right you will see instructions on viewing and leaving comments.

See what people are saying about the entries. Say hi! We'd love to hear from you, and it's really easy!

Star Wars Fever

Ian has always been crazy about "Star Wars." Unfortunately, today (the first day of our week long vacation) he really does have a fever! So he's watching "Star Wars" on the couch. Poor guy!

Valentimes

Today is Valentine's Day! We all got cards and candy and some small gifts. Mommy got flowers that the boys picked. One rose from each of her Valentines. Hope you had a great one!

Sleigh Ride!

At the fair they have an old schoolhouse, a meeting hall, and a smithy among other things. Before or after your sleigh ride, you can warm up inside with hot food and drinks or head into the smithy to watch the blacksmiths at work. We had a great time despite a strong wind. The sun helped a lot.





















Is this ingenious or what? This roller flattens out any passengers that fall off the sleighs so the horses don't trip. It works, too. There were only a couple of bumps the whole ride.




















I recommend a horse drawn sleigh ride to everyone!

A Good Hike

Sunday started out mild but promised to turn very windy. We headed out early to get a hike in and to let Jake run for a good while. It was definitely nice to be outside with comfortable temperatures. Apparently the birds agreed with us. We could hear them singing in the woods and occasionally we spotted wings flashing over us against a background of soft, white sky.








Daddy with Colin in the backpack-carrier thingie, Jake up ahead.





A good spot to be careful on the footbridge!





We made it to the other side. Your turn , Mama!




All Steph's boys! We all love ya!


It was a good hike and a nice beginning to a fun filled Sunday. We went on a horse drawn sleigh ride after that. Ian and Steph then went to a birthday party for one of his classmates while Colin and I headed home for his nap time.
