January & February 2018

Here's some of what we did during January and February...

Doing yoga with Matt's cousin Sami.

And again :)

I gave Aubrey a pen in the car and this is what she looked like when we got home!

Cheesy smiles :-)

Aunt Hunter visited one weekend and Caleb challenged her to "Just Dance"...

Snuggles!

My staff member JoAnn invited us to her house and the kids enjoyed meeting her ducks! (They didn't appreciate the smell though...Caleb kept his nose plugged the whole time. He has a nose like Grandma Marjean :-)

Working on her fish kiss!

Matt and  I were lucky enough to get away to Mexico for 6 days at the end of January! Special thanks to the grandmas for stepping in to watch the kids while we enjoyed some paradise!

The view from our room.

Beach time!

Amazing food!

So fun to try new things!

Ready for another night.

Fire show!

Ready to head back home.

Caleb loves reading and even indulges Aubrey sometimes.

Our little sassafras!

Aubrey and her preschool Sunday school class singing for Valentine's day.

Caleb and the older group singing some loving songs too.

Enjoying some Valentine cards from Grandma Marjean.

Sledding at Grandma Teresa and Craig's new house!

Perfect day for sledding with the cousins!

Caleb!

Boys love to wipe-out!

Makayla just barely saved Aubrey and herself from hitting the rock!

Enjoying the Olympics...I set up a biathlon course. The kids had to "ski" on paper plates and then shoot at the targets with their Nerf guns. :-)

Direct hit!!!

Caleb took it very seriously.

Aubrey "skiing"!

Aubrey and Caleb "Just Dance"ing!

Sledding at Great Grandma Ruth's

Weeeeeeee!!!!!!

Uncle Adam even made steps to go up the snow hill!

And a little play dough fun!

Last of Christmas 2017

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 2017...

Night of the 23rd... Uncle Adam, Nolan, and Landon all stayed overnight with us at Grandma Ruth and Grandma Marjean's; so they could wake up and celebrate Christmas Eve with us! (Then Aunt Sarah came in the morning with Mabel.)

Aubrey wearing one of mommy's old snowsuits.

The kids had so much fun sledding down the ditch!

Then on to opening gifts!

Enjoying our yummy lunch! So much food as usual!!! But so good!

Aubrey was a little worn out after all the fun of the day...

Going to bed on Christmas Eve..Cookies and carrots left out for Santa and Rudolph.

CHRISTMAS MORNING!

Air hockey table from Santa and opening his stocking.

Opening her stocking

Caleb put on his new UNI outfit as soon as all his presents were open :) 

A quick game of air hockey!
