Lots of Snow! - February 16

 We've been waiting all winter for a BIG sticky snow and we finally got it!  We had five inches on the ground when we woke up and got another five inches during the day.  We spent most of the morning playing the snow...

 Zane loved "breaking trail" through the deep snow.  He was excited to discover that it had snowed more while he was taking his nap, so he could make fresh tracks!

 Thankfully I ducked before this snowball hit me...Colter's got pretty good aim!

 Monique worked on building "snow chairs" for the snow fort.

 Sabrina has been practicing her steering while sledding down the hill. She's finally getting it down!

 Laurel wasn't quite sure what to think of everything. She did get to sled down the little sledding hill a couple of times, which made her giggle.

 In case you couldn't tell, this kid loves snow!  Wyatt spends hours outside building, sledding and shoveling.

The kids started working on a snow fort...aka "winter Mountaintown".

Angry Birds with Daddy - February 4

I downloaded the game "Angry Birds" to my phone today and showed it to Danny after he got home from work. He made fun of it for approximately 30 seconds before hijacking my phone and playing for 30 minutes.  He even had his own cheering section!

Danny: "Shhhhhhhh.....boom!"

Colter: "Ahhhhh! You did it, Dad! You got the pig with the helmet! Awesome!"

 

Monique: "Are the birds scared when they fly like that?" It's fuzzy line between real and pretend for that one, but we assured her that none of the pigs or birds felt scared or got hurt. : )

Danny: "Die, pigs! Die!"

 

Wyatt: "Good job, Dad! You got the last one with the speedy bird!"

Sabrina: "Can we just see what the next one looks like?"

Danny: "OK, just one more time." : )
