First Picnic & Playground

Yesterday was so beautiful! We spent almost the whole day outside. Here we are with Isabella at her first picnic :) I just got this little hat not realizing it was 0-3 months! Oops!

 Daddy made us some new obstacle course/playground equipment...

Climber...

 Olivia watching Daddy with the chain saw...

Daddy hard at work & play...

Mommy & Isabella watching the great sculptor (Olivia took this picture)

 Trying out the new teeter totter...

 And the kids made their own balance beam and came up with the idea to put stones on the side. The stones keep the wood from rolling and they can be used to hop on!

 We were getting a picture of the guys and then the girls and as you can see, each time the other little one jumped in!

A little preview...

Fun sale!

Twice a year there is a huge consignment sale in our area that my friend and I like to go to. We always end up with some great finds and the kids wanted to share some pictures :)

Isabella, my shopping buddy...

Beads for our Little Lady, Olivia

Hulk fist for our tough guy, Zachariah

Something Special...

Here's a little something special to share from each of our little ones...

Olivia...she was very busy doing her artwork one day. Mommy wasn't allowed to see what she was doing but she had letters to be mailed. So I helped her address them and she did the rest. When they arrived the next day this is what we got...they are so precious!

 (Mommy sent one to Olivia)

 Mommy's Letter

Zachariah's Letter

Daddy's Letter

Zachariah...Check out these dare devil moves! He actually starts at the very top, but I didn't get the camera started in time. His feet don't touch the ground until the very end! 

Isabella...figured out how to make herself bounce!

Sink time :)

Waking up...

After 2 weeks of waking up every 2 hours, Mommy finally got 3-4 hour stretches! And, Isabella slept in her own bed all night :) So refreshing!

Snow much fun!

We braved the 2 day snow storm! lol I realize this may not be a whole lot to some, but our 12" of snow was lots of fun with sledding, snowmen and snow days with Daddy :)

When we went to bed, there was no snow on the ground. This is what we woke up to! It was a couple inches higher, but around 4am we got some icy rain that packed it down.

Kojak enjoyed it for a little bit...

 Meet our snowman :)

 Just a little snow to shovel...

Just a few rolls ;)

15lbs & a few little rolls :)
