February 2015

In February it began to snow, and just kept snowing all month. We had a total of 59.9" of snow and it was cold!!! Below zero many days. We broke lots of records and had a number of snow days and late starts it was a crazy month.

This was a Sunday and it wasn't so cold that day. The kids played a long time, loving all the white stuff.

Sledding down the piles of snow at the ends of our driveway. We had no idea the piles would be taller than Randy by the end of the month. In fact they got so tall the snow blower couldn't throw the snow over the piles of snow any more.

Randy clearing paths so the kids could play in the yard.

An awesome snow wall, mostly made by Randy.

We were excited to have Sara, Oliver, Parker and Julia out for a long weekend over Valentine's Day weekend. Here are Parker, Timmy, Henry, Oliver and Sophia exchanging Valentines.

Cousins playing in the snow together. Olive, Henry, Luke, Julia and Sophia on the small hill at the end of the driveway.

There was also much lego playing and coloring done. Here is Luke, Parker and Julia but all the kids took turns at the table.

YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!! We all LOVE Aunt Kathy's Valentine's cupcakes!!

WE REALLY LOVE THEM!!!

We love them so much we've made frosting mustaches - Look at us, look at us, look at us!

The purple room (Samantha's old room) upstairs at Aunt Kathy and Uncle Dale's became the place to run and play hide and seek. Here are some munchkins playing together, Luke, Julia, Parker and Timmy.

While the children ran wild we responsibly played lots of Scrabble. Every once in a while being sure to holler, "Go upstairs if your going to be crazy" or "Don't hurt each other!"

Of course a weekend together includes some ipad time in their jammies.
