Winter's Not Over Yet!

We had beautiful, springtime weather early in the week. It was so great to get outside and enjoy the 60 degree weather - and I'm SO glad we did! The forecast called for 1-2 inches of snow on the valley floor for today. We woke up to about a foot and a half of snow. WOW!
My mom came by bus to visit us this weekend because she doesn't like to drive in the snow. Good thing she took the bus! I feel bad for her though, she left the bus station at 3:30 this afternoon, and she still isn't home 4 hours later.
We all had a blast playing in the snow this morning. We rode sleds, built a snowman in the middle of the driveway and had snowball fights.
Here is Jack just before he pelted me with a snowball. It was a sneak attack. He completely tricked me into thinking he was throwing it somewhere else by looking in another direction. Then BAM! He got me.

It's getting there....

Jack & Nana so proud of their snowman. I love this picture!
Thanks for a great weekend, Mom! We had so much fun with you.

Good Times!

Here are some recent pictures of the kiddos. Here is Jack playing in the pool with his buddy, Brecken at Peyton's birthday party.
Can you tell we've been watching the Olympics? Here are Jack and Wayne with their medals (rocks, what else?). They were racing each other all around the park. The winners were awarded medals at the finish line.

Mr. Benjamin loves to slide. He could care less about racing and winning rock medals. He was all about the downhill slide. Up to the top and racing down the slide. He sits at the top and tries to count. Ooooonnee, tttttwwwwooo......go. He also tries to say 'on your mark, set, go'. It usually comes out like this: 'Maaaark, se.....go'. Then 'weeeeee' all the way down and some clapping at the bottom. So much fun.

A perfect little bench.


Learning to swing all by himself.

All that racing makes a boy thirsty.
