Winter Fun +

Guess I know what the kids would like for the next gift. Do they sell MP3 players for kids that only goes a certain volume? Would be nice to get them something like that.

Carlee and Jay playing on the floor.

Time to get ready and go snowmobiling for the day.

Just us

Jay reading the map

I had to stop and take a picture because the trail was beautiful.

Stopping to enjoy a little scenery.

This is Jay, who sat there voluntarily.  :-)

Justin and Carter, going on a short ride around the house.

And of course, Carlee wanted to go too so Daddy decided to take her.

The kids made "something" out of Jay's printer box.

It's Carter's turn to go snowmobiling with Daddy.

Filling up on gas for a fun trip with Daddy.

He really is smiling.  :-)

Carter riding with Justin.

Stopping to eat.

Carter just looks so adorable here.  He is wearing my helmet, so it's a little big for him, but he's just so darn cute.

Aiden's birthday party.

Carlee and Jay at the party.

I actually was able to get a picture of the boys, even though they're both occupied doing something different.

Carlee playing in the snow.

Carter had dug out a small area to sit in and I caught them sitting in there.

King of the Hill

Love this picture of them.

 This is a 20 second clip of Carlee realizing she can use the harmonica.  It's sweet!

Okay Marathon locals, anybody know what the story is behind the shoes and how long have they been hanging here by Rib Falls?  Every time I take the kids to the park, I wonder.....

What a beautiful day we had today!  Weather was great!!  Sounds like the whole week will be similar!  Today, Marathon had a teacher in-service day, so Carter was able to spend the day with Carlee and I again today.  Took a trip to the library and picked up some good books for the kids and me.   We took a trip to the park, played a few games and just had some fun together!

Last week while at Rhonda and Larry's, we learned how to make sauerkraut.  It was a neat experience, but we have to go back in about 20-some days to finish the project.  Thanks guys....always love learning something new.

Love his real smile...

I love this one!

But she did listen when I told her to give Taelyn a hug.  :-)
Awe....

Carter has such a fun & happy smile here.  Love it!

Carter and I ended our day with a little bean bag toss.

Carter's funny face!  He was trying to pout, but just couldn't.  (Mom knows how to make him smile!)

Get out and enjoy the weather this week!!
