February 2010



We decided to have a few friends over to watch the Super Bowl. Beth and Scott brought Nicholas in his Colts outfit, so we had to get a picture of all of the miniature Colts fans! Let me tell you that trying to get all four kids looking in the same direction, smiling at the same time was a challenge. Maybe if the Colts had won, it would have been easier...

Jonathan had his very first Snow Day from school. We ended up only getting about 8 - 10 inches of snow and the road crews really kept the streets clean, but most of the schools closed anyway. The kids were really excited to get out in the snow and play!

This was really Makayla's first time in the snow to play. She was pretty happy about being dressed up and "released" outside with the boys.

That is until Jaden threw snow all over her. I would love to be in her head right now knowing what she is planning as revenge for a future date. Being a little sister myself, I have no doubt she will find a fun creative way to even the score with Jaden!

I thought it was great that the boys found out that you can utilize the trampoline in the winter too! At first I was worried about the net being missing, but then remembered that they had about a foot of cushion under them!

Jonathan decided to test it out...Jaden just watched...


The boys even played with the slide and tower!


Makayla sat in the same place for most of her time out in the snow. She did play with it a little, but I don't think she found it as fun as she thought she would...


Without a hill to sled down in our backyard, Jonathan got a great workout pulling Jaden!


And this is what our backdoor looks like after a Snow Day adventure!

  1. those expressions on Makayla's face are PRICELESS! And at first, seeing another little one in the 1st pic, I thought "Are they ever going to stop?!" :)

    Miss seeing you.

    Be well,
    Lisa
