Snow Days!

We spent the last week trapped at home due to ice and snow. School was closed for a record 4 days! The boys played in the ice on Tuesday with Scott and quickly realized it was not the fluffy "fun" snow they remembered from last year. We pretty much spent Wednesday and Thursday inside and had to think of everything under the sun to keep busy! We played hot wheels car wash in the bathtub where the boys "detailed" cars for a few hours, we painted, we colored, we read, we watched movies, we played dress up and just when they couldn't take it anymore Mike and Nicole came over and we made s'mores in the fireplace. Friday we got six inches of snow - the good kind!! The boys played outside ALL DAY! We would just rotate clothes and back out they would go! Our neighbors have two boys and so does the family behind us so they had snow ball fights, made a snow man, made snow ice cream and took a snow hike up to the school. BUSY FUN DAY! It was a crazy week but a great week. I am blessed to have a job where I can work from home in cases like this so I spent most of the early mornings and evenings curled up with the laptop working by the fire - not too shabby!

Random January Pictures

The past couple of weeks have been busy yet slow, if that makes sense. We have had a lot of bad weather so we have spent a bunch of time snuggled up on the couch. We've had a few pretty days that we spent outdoors - we made it to the dog park once with Rox and took the boys on a "hike" a few weekends ago. We've had a few b-day parties and other events so we've had plenty to squeeze in but it's been at a pretty nice slow pace.

Abby's Baby Shower

Abby and Russ are going to have a sweet baby girl in a few weeks (name still to be decided!) and the baby shower was last weekend. It was such a cute shower! Her best friend Tara pulled it all toegther from Florida (I think?) and hosted the shower at Kim's house. Everything turned out great! Abby is such a cutie and I can't wait to meet little miss!

Addyson's 5th Birthday!

Addyson had a swim party at the YMCA this year. The boys were super excited about getting to swim in January. The pool was seriously hot and steamy - felt like a sauna for all the parents and kept fogging up my camera so I didn't get too many water pics. Oh well! I can not believe this crazy little girl is going to start kindergarten next fall! Where does the time go???
