Hey y'all!! Or should I say Happy Winter Wonderland Y'all!! :) That is what we have been living in! I am not going to lie...I am a beach girl...really I would never in a million years chose a ski vacation...like ever...I much prefer my feet in the sand ;) However this winter life is growing on me. It is presenting so many fun adventures for us! :) We have been enjoying ice skating nearly daily at our neighborhood lake or our community center. The girls are in ice skating lessons on Saturday mornings and the sledding hill makes for a great family activity! :) As much as I miss my Kansas home...because of course...."There is no place like home....no place like home" (I can't count home many Wizard of Oz jokes I have hear here....) I know all to well what it is like to be at home in Kansas while hubby travels...I miss him desperately and the kids can just hardly stand it. So, I am loving every minute of our family time...winter wonderland and all! Hey it's even been warmer here than at home on some days! Nice! :) And for all those wondering...B's hockey obsession has not tapered at all in fact it just continues to intensify....y'all even his ride on fire truck is now a "zamboni" I fear "hockey mom" is totally in my future :/ Pray for me! ;)






I just have to tell y'all how hilarious this was...this is a big hill...big...Scott gave him a little starting push and off he flew...it was too funny...you could just hear his little voice saying..."help...somebody help" then when he got down he said "Me not like rocket run" which is the name of the big hill in Max and Ruby....I SO regret not taking video!!! :)




Here is B telling me "Me not like rocket run"

My sweetie pies could not get enough of the sledding hill!! It's so awesome they have this at our neighborhood club house!!


 Much happier being pulled around by daddy! :)

And even happier on "bunny hill"


These 2 pics of my Whitney Grace make my heart SO happy!! The pure joy and natural delight is just too much!! I love this little girl SO much!!



Here is little man warming up in the car with me :) He stayed out for a bit watching the sledding then we had to head for the heater ;)

I just have to share a little pic into my day...its all about my monkey boys...there are lots of screams of laughter and hot chocolate mustaches along with poor Brody be smothered in big brother Bentley love :) I am SO blessed! I remember these kind of days with my girls and I feel so blessed I am still able to be home to have the same time with my boys!! Truly a blessed mama!!!





"But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
