Crazy Fort!

We had a great weekend with the kids these last couple days, today we pulled out the Crazy Forts kit, we made the kids a cuddly little igloo, or at least it looked like one. They had a blast crawling in and out and playing games. Even Mom, Dad and the dogs got in on the fun. We had the first fort in the family room, the kids even at their lunch on the floor while watching tv in it, we just created a "sun roof" so they could see the tv above them!


































































This is crazy fort number two, we wanted to reclaim our family room so we moved it into the playroom but made it a bit taller so they could stand up and have a proper door to walk thru.
















Their super guard dogs.



























The static that the forts made was crazy!!!

May I Have a Medal Please!

During the Olympics Olivia fell in love with speed skating and every time it was on she'd tell us that she wanted to do that, and skate fast fast fast in circles and then she'd list everyone she knew and they'd come and watch her. Then she saw the medal ceremonies and proclaimed MOMMY I WANT ONE OF THOSE!!! So I asked her how she would get one, thinking she would say Skating, hockey (another sport both her and Carter fell in love with), etc. No no, she looks at me with the sweetest face any 3 year old can muster and says " Mommy may I have a medal please?" LOL. SO I just had to make up some medals and we had an Olympic Medal Ceremony, the kids had so much fun, Liv wore hers for days, even to the grocery store! LOL.

































































A Big Bite of the GOLD!!

Frost

I love the fog, and we've had A LOT of fog this past week and a half. And with fog comes frost. I love how it sticks to everything, these are a couple pictures of the frost on our garland and Christmas lights on the front porch

Girlie Time

Olivia is always asking to have her nails and toes done, always picking different colors for each, so I figured who cares if it's not summer, lets do it! So I got some hot pink polish and some sparkly polish...

Mommy working away...













I hope she doesn't get used to being pampered this much! LOL (Note how she can spread her pinkie toe on her left foot, just like mommy! I love my little freaky girl!!!)















"Farkly fingers mom!!!"











Glam Girl Shot, LOL
















Showing off her fancy nails













Had to put this one in, I told her to be careful cause her nails were still wet, so she was trying to call gramma on her cell using her elbow!! LOL

Sledding!

A couple weeks ago we took the kids out sledding for their first time. We has so much fun!!

Daddy and the kids ready for their maiden voyage!















The smile after her first run

















Daddy helping Carter on his first trip down the hill.















"Yike it mommy!"















LOL her face says it all!












Like mother like children!!












Carters first trip down by himself didn't go quite as planned, LOL.












Daddy and Carter giggling













Trying backwards down the hill, less snow in the face, more snow up the pants!

Birthday Party!

We celebrated little Emersons 2nd birthday this past weekend, and had a great time!

Olivia and Aly really miss each other, they had SO much fun together, this was them giving each other a full contact hug!












We never seem to get a picture of the 4 of us together, it was nice to finally have one of me and my other mommy friends!












Ryan and baby Nate!












The kids chowing down on cupcakes.

Bathtime Fun

Bathtime is always a loud and very wet party. Mom and dad get more water on them than the kids do I swear!


Carter checking himself out in the "miro"





















Bath Hair!!! Olivia finally has enough hair for daddy to start "styling" in the tub, but we couldn't leave carter out, LOL, he looks like a baby alien!!
