The rest of February.

I love Caroline dressed up like Sophia.  I had originally purchased this dress to give to her for her birthday, but when her costume became lost she enlisted the help of daddy.  He found her 'costume' in the closet and wondered why there were tags on it.  Well happy early birthday to Caroline.  

 Photo bombed by Hens.

 Lincoln's growing up pictures.  I love all of his facial expressions, he had so many I couldn't post all of them.

 The other kids wanted their pictures taken too.

 Caroline likes to dress up like Anna and grab her Olaf then turn up the Frozen soundtrack.  She is so cute when she dances around.

 I remember that inside of this sink was a load of toilet paper and the whole container of soap.  At least she was having fun.

 Valentines day box.  We used an old 'goldfish' box and made it look like the 'UP' house. We needed more suckers but man two bags was a lot already.  I should have found a super small ball.  Anyway, the idea was there we just didn't get it finished, no worries though, kids loved it.

Winter Fun.

In the heat of summer I am posting about winter.  I know it's kind of backwards but it was fun to post these photos.  The kids were so happy during our best snow storm to go in our front yard to sled. It was a bit too cold for Henry so there aren't many photos of him.  He chose to play indoors.  The kids has so much fun and we had our neighbors playing with us for a little while.  The snow was powder soft.  Great for skiing, but not great for building a snowman.  We waited a few days for the sun to melt the snow a bit and then it was perfect for building a snowman which we did with delight and the weather was very warm for the building process so we put our snowman in the shade.

 I love how happy this little one is with her dad.

 I love this photo  because it seems as if Linc is really getting some air, but really you can't get that much in our yard.

What a great brother, going down with Caroline.

 There weren't many options for our snowman's face.  Lemons and chocolate chips.

A Little Bit of Fun.

We traveled back to Utah in the winter time and visited with my Grandma Ellen in the nursing home. It was great to talk to her.

Lincoln's birthday!  He's growing up so fast.  He invited a few friends from school and church.  The theme that he wanted was 'Skylanders'.  I did what I could.  Each guest was given a punch card with eight elements on it.  One activity took place for each element.  Some of the games included target practice with nurf guns, popping a balloon by sitting on it, an explosion (which we thought would have gone a little better), a game of dropping the clothes pin into a jar, and a few others.  Each activity kind of related to the eight elements found in Skylanders.

What a bunch of super cute kids.  I wish we could have had more of them over.

Lincoln's cake was supposed to look like the console thing that the skylanders guys go on.  For our little dude it was great.

During Christmas we had saved a bunch of milk jugs and filled them with water then put Christmas lights in them.  It stayed cold for a long time so the ice inside each jug was still there and we didn't want to recycle them with a bunch of water in them.  I put them in the backyard to get a little more heat but the kids found them and had a blast for awhile.  Throwing milk jugs with ice in them.  Surprisingly nobody was ever hit (many close calls though).
