Snow times

Eliza and Daddy working on the circuit set we have. 

The kids built a circuit that when you turn the switch on it spins a propeller, and when you turn it off it shoots off into the air and the kids try and catch it. 

Hide a go seek taken to another level by Eliza. If she was wearing white pants it would have been perfect. Alex walked right by as it is. :)

Visiting the Wade family for James's birthday we got a chance to see their new chicken area, and play with a few of the kittens.

While we were enjoying some time in the barn Mike was occupying the other Wade kids with a game of Sythe.

Meijer has been out of most spices for about a month now. I can't find dill seed or oregano. This week a stock lady made the joke it is now a salt isle because that's all they have. 

We got to have some fun with the Rowe family this month.

The kids are super rough on snow tubes. I've patched so many of them. Not sure what they are doing, but... man... they know how to distroy them.

Evan went to the doctor to get his skin looked at. All is well, but I thought he looked pretty cute with his mask and game out waiting for the doctor. 

Mike had carpal tunnel surgery this month on his right hand. His sister was so sweet in buying us dinner from Qdoba so I didn't have to cook that night. Mike loves Mexican food. 

My little girl on her afternoon siesta. 

Google doing a side by side of the kids in 2018 (top) and this month (bottom).

On our morning walk I got some cute pictures of the kids. 

Eliza playing a math game that Aunt Shawn let us borrow. 

I won Pretty Pretty Princess, a highlight of my month.

The boys have been working on snow forts this month.

Both are getting more secure as the snow and month go on.

Here they are doing battle.

Evan playing Battleship with Daddy while I was at the doctor.

Eliza getting ready to go outside. She just looked so cute.

Side by side that Google made. 

Sledding together at the Library. Eliza is on the bottom.

Alex looking well covered. 

Daddy and Eliza in a nice picture while sledding.

Alex enjoying some cuddling time in our bed while Mike reads Harry Potter. 

Evan wearing his new Snoopy shirt that he looks forward to showing Aunt Jamie. 

Eliza helping me making pizza for dinner. She's my little kitchen helper, Evan likes to as well.

Cuddling on the couch while watching the Harry Potter movie after finishing the book. 

Our first time out for a meal in a long, long, long time and we were blessed to have a meal with Uncle Geoff. 

Doing a funny filter on his phone with the kids.

More Harry Potter while doing a puzzle by the fire.

Alex hard at work at school.

Side by side of Alex in 2015 and this year.

Alex has started reading books at the table while eating. Not a great location to read books, but I do like that he's reading. 

Meandering shoveling of a 3 year old.

She did do a good job with the front porch. :)

Eliza using her new pens she got from Oma. She was so sad that she didn't have a purple pen anymore. She used the one she got for Christmas from church in 2 weeks after getting it. I wonder how long these pens will last. 

Hard at work with school.

The put their pants on their head to "have long hair" like a girl. Daddy used to do this when they were babies and he was changing their diapers. 

Eliza brushing her teeth.

Eliza making some window pane decals. 

She's so funny.









 

Keeping Busy is our middle name

We joined some friends for bowling, turns out the boys really enjoy it. Evan is already perfecting his form. Eliza tries really hard to get ...
