The little things that make me smile!

Ems new favorite activity...ice fishing. Her Dad introduced her to this past time last week and that is all she wants to do. I am amazed at how much she loves this and how excited she gets when they get to go. Ryan says she does very well and in fact tells him what to use to catch the fish and so far it has worked!

Marker Boy!! This little stinker LOVES any type of writing utensil he can get his hands on. However, instead of using paper he immediately lifts up his shirt and uses his belly as his masterpiece! Nothing else which is a good thing I guess since I am not having to invest in the Magic Eraser. Each time (which has been several) Hunter is very proud of his creation! Love him!


The joy of bubbles! Another simply activity that produced plenty of giggles. The boys were a little hesitant at first, but it didn't take long before they were chasing every bubble. Ah the joy!



Well I have learned that my children (especially the boys) love to "help" around the house. Every time I break out the vacuum cleaner it is a fight to see who gets to help mom. It first started with wanting to help Grandma do the dishes. A few days later I was not surprised when they wanted to help Grandma clean out the freezer. Although helping did not last long Ruger thought it was best to sit and make sure Grandma got the job done right! I hope they continue to enjoy helping! Ha!


Emily could not wait until there was enough snow to go sledding. I was beginning to worry that this simple yet very fun activity was not going to happen. She absolutely loves it especially when she has her cousin Maddi to enjoy the festivities with her! They were so much fun to watch.
