Removing the Maple tree April 5th, 2014

 So, here is my monkey!  Yep.  That is Shane climbing the tree to cut it down.  He got it done in a day.  Good job honey!  He was a little scared when he got up there and wasn't quite sure if he was doing it right.  But, he got the job done!  The tree  needed to come down because we are hoping to add on to the house and there were two trees that had to come out.  I am happy to say that job is done.  It was a big task which took a long time. BUT IT IS DONE!  YEA!

Spring Skiing April 7th, 2014

Here is my skiing crew.  This is on top of the bunny hill.  It was a warm day.  Lauren ended up taking off her coat and was just fine.  I remember taking off my jacket but then putting it back on.  

 This is one of Shane's favorite days.  He loves skiing and then to have all of us up there with him is just icing on the cake.

 Lauren was getting help going down this part of the bunny trail because she didn't have poles to help push her.  Shane could get enough speed to keep them both going.  She looks scared in the picture but she really was having a blast.

Paige really loves going fast down the mountain.  Shane and her are so much alike.

 Bri and Paige on the ski lift.  I don't know how we were able to get this picture but it is cute.

 This is to prove that I really did go.  As much as I don't enjoy skiing I will stay on the bunny hill to make it fun for my hubby.  Because it was spring the snow was mostly slush and some parts were ice.  It made it hard to turn and it wasn't very fun when you hit a big puddle of water.  I did crash once right by the ski lift.  I went to turn and hit the ice and then couldn't turn and then fell right into the puddle.  Oh-  skiing is so much fun.

This is the view from the top of the bunny lift across to the mountains on the other side.  See how the snow is all melted.  It was very warm especially in town.

Sensory Play March 27, 2014

Ryker and Reese had been playing with this most of the afternoon.  When the girls got home from school they wanted to play too.  Who said sensory play was just for little kids. Brianna and her friend had a good time playing with it.  It is just shaving cream on a pan.  This is one of Ryker's favorite things to do.

Band Concert March 18, 2014

Brianna had a band concert.  It sounded great.  She has fun playing her trumpet.  The little kids enjoyed it but it got a little long because they had three different bands play and the strings had a few numbers that they performed.

St Patricks Day 2014

Well, it is March 17th.  I have tried to make it a little fun by making green pizza rolls and having green kool aid.  The kids had fun.

My guys! March 2, 2014

Don't they look cute!  I love this picture.

Building an ice fort. March 4, 2014

 Brianna and Paige loved playing out in the snow after school got out.  There is extra snow about where they were digging because we push all the snow from the driveway right there.  They both built some nice little caves that ended up having a tunnel that met each other.  They were both sad when it warmed up and their forts melted!

Big storm Feb 24, 2014

 Ok,  Well we thought the snow was finally gone and then we got this BIG storm with about 15 inches in a few days.  For family home evening we went sledding on a hill near our house.  The kids had a blast.

 Shane  and Reese going down the hill.  Reese loved it until she got to the bottom when the snow would fly up in her face.

 Aren't those three cute!

 Reese was so bundled up that she had a hard time moving.  She got cold before the other kids so I brought her back and got the hot chocolate ready for everyone when they got back.

There are some benefits of living on a hill.  Like this one.  When  there is a big storm there isn't much traffic out so you can just sled down the street!
