HOLY SNOW!!!!!!


Here is our backyard- scary!!!

This is the first year we've made a ginger bread house. Brock really wanted to do it and I'm glad he saw that we did.


I was even MORE glad though, to see Jess get so into it! I honestly didn't think he'd participate.


Boy was I WRONG!


He was all about it. And for whatever weird reason I think my love for him grew 10-fold.


Love this pic.


And love the fun time we had as a family.


MMMMMMMMMMWHAW.

SNOW FUN!
December was great for playing in the snow! :)




Dad thought it'd be a good idea to throw the boys in the light snow...



"Poof" -Yeah, Bodie pretty much... well, let's just say the landing wasn't so soft!


Brock thinking if he really wants to be tossed..... Too late!!


Jess had to un-burry him. :)


This is my FAVORITE. The sky is absolutely beautiful when it snows. Pink evening sky=snow.


And you wake up to this:

Lately.

Last weekend we went to a Fall Festival out at the Nordic Center. Becky & Miss Mylie came with. It was a great time. They had so many fun things!!! Tractor pulled hayrides through the cc-ski trails, hay bail mazes, a bounce house, pumpkin patch, live music, scavenger hunts, potato sack races, and more games. :) Delightful.

Hot chocolate on the porch.

It's getting to be that time of year, you know. -At least when it rains

it sure feels that way!

Brock looks like he's contemplating asking Emma something... :)


Or just swishing hot chocolate in his mouth....

I'm pretty sure I'm going to be living here this summer.

When Bodie & Brock were down swimming w/ Nana & Papa at the Point, (luckies!)


Wyatt and I headed to the East side pool for some splash time.

(it was soooooooooooooo crowded!)

I had Wyatt all to myself for a few days and it was DELIGHTFUL. He is a fun, fun kid.


Then, Nana and I did a switcheroo in Oak Creek... and I took these yahoos to the pool.

(there were actually people there this time!)

Brock sporting the goggles Papa got for him.


Bodie, likewise, AND showing off the diving stick Papa made for him.


:D


Little lunch break.



The Mushroom in all of it's glory.

It's starting to feel like SPRING! Yesterday we pulled the chairs out, and the boys ate their lunch on the front porch, in the sunshine...

(Are these really my little boys? Sometimes it's hard to believe.)

It reminds me of past summer days, and more summer days to come...


Except this summer I won't have anymore babies... only boys...Wyatt is growing up too quickly.


Not a bad life. The only cares these boys have, have to do w/ toys and food...especially this kid in the middle. I can't seem to get him to stop eating.


Another sure sign of spring...


Flowers are starting to be awakened from their winter slumber.


This winter has been going so quickly for me -although I'm sure we'll have a few more storms, this makes me happy to see signs of life! Time to clear out the flower beds!
