Nature Walk

Luke kept trying to convince us that he could walk across the river without falling in. We weren't buying what he was selling. We knew that if he fell in we be the ones going into the freezing water!! No thanks! Let us all be safe on land.

Winter will soon fade to Spring.

Nature Walk

Here we go again!

I am going to sit here and think! And freeze my hands off ! Put your gloves back on boy!

Picture Perfect

Olivia had fun hiding in the trees. Trying to nail me snowballs!!

Having fun on the tree swing! It is so beautiful out there!



















Weee!! Goes the dinosaur!

Nature Walk

Love Bugs!

We love to go walking down the river trail by our house. James and the kiddies go more than me. So when we went this day, the were giving me the tour. All of their favorite places. The favorite tree swing! A nice part of the stream to walk down, real close.

Ethan is here, ridding Olivia's pink bike :) It was very slippery on the pathway and very dangerous to be ridding bike. He seemed to weather the storm.

Boys Gone Wild!!

Oh my silly boys! They love to dress up in funny costumes. Here they had put on fashionable trash bags. One is a name brand bag, Lowes. They are unexpectedly unusual.

Well they are from my family tree. How unexpected could that be?

They love to laugh and giggle! They are either having a great time together, or fighting with each other. But they are wonderful!

Here is our princess! He has no problem being in touch with his feminine side :o

Ethan's 10th Lego Birthday Party !

Ethan had a great idea for a lego cake. So here it is! We had fun making it!

Here is the birthday boy!

A little crazy with the knife ! Ok, now hand over the knife and no one will get hurt :0

Sledding time!

It is sledding time! We received a new sled from Santa, so we decided to go give it a whirl! It has been a long time since we took the kids sledding. It sure is fun to live here where we can go sledding frequently.

Faster!!

Racing downhill

Olivia went about just as fast on her butt, as the boys did on the sled. Those are some slippery pants! Fast pants.

Olivia getting ready to go outside to play!

The kids had fun going down penguin style :)

We sure had a great time going up and down the hill. Fortunately we only had one injury, T-Rex hurt his leg. The boys were going down together and hit a large bump, they all went flying. Ethan first, followed by Luke, then T-Rex. It was a boy sandwich! Ethan hurt his bum, Luke hurt his arm, and T-Rex hurt his leg. They were okay, but T-Rex decided to sit out the rest of the sledding session. He will try again next time!

Adventurous group

I don't know about this mom, this hill looks pretty big!

Here goes Ethan & Luke !

What goes down must come back up! It was a bit slippery coming back up the hill :0

All cozy together!

Where shall we go next!
