Off to Neverland

While at Neverland (Kuphal's new adorable home) this morning, Peter Pan (Elyse) spent her time guarding the silver key from getting into the hands of Captain Hook (Aiden). 

All seriousness, this is how they spent their morning playing together.  I really do love how cute they are together; and I couldn't get enough of Aiden's pirate earring.  

Races

It is not uncommon to see Elyse and Caleb running and having races with their big toys around the house.  And lately, Kallen has begun participating :) 

Fun in the Snow

So our big snow fall of the year took place way back in December.  Sadly with having snow gear packed, moving and then being way too cold out, the kids had not been outside once to enjoy it; that is until last Friday.  The temperature hit 41 with sun and we couldn't help ourselves but to go have some backyard fun.  I do love playing in the snow and when it's 41 degrees with sun, I really love playing in it!  We had a blast and made a great family memory.

Swimming in -6 Degrees

What to do when it's -6 outside without windchill?
Go swimming!

 

Since Nate had a three day weekend, we decided to take the opportunity to have a fun family afternoon doing something memorable and unusual for us.  We packed up dinner and our swim stuff, and then headed to a local hotel that has open swim with a no entry pool.  Thankfully no one was there but us.  Our time started with the kids having tears of uncertainty, but ended with tears of frustration that their time was up.  One word to sum up our time, enjoyable.

 



Kallen Turns 10 Months

Another month already?!? Today Kallen turns 10 months old.  So here's to celebrating our littlest happy, chatty, energetic, busy, two teeth, comical, adorable, exploratory and spunky son's day.

Kallen, we love you and hope you have a wonderful 10 month birthday!

A typical Thursday?  You bet!

Camouflage Night

Tonight was "Camouflage Night" at Awana and Elyse didn't want to miss out, but didn't want to look unfashionable either.  She tried on Nate's coat and quickly informed me it was too big, heavy, not stylish and not pretty.  So she improvised.  She decided to wear his camouflage belt as an accessory and go in all black and brown.  She then said to me after getting ready, "Mama, see I make camouflage look good."

I also asked her to just stand by the wall for a picture and by no surprise she starts giving me a bunch of different poses.  Well you get the idea of her outfit.
