Ice Storm

Sunday night Kalamazoo got hit pretty hard with ice that caused lots of power outages (including ours) and tree branches everywhere. Even though it was a pain, it sure was beautiful!

Children's Museum

Last Saturday we took the kids to the Grand Rapids Children's Museum and they had a blast! I think that their faces say it all :)

Silly Boys!

What would I do without these silly boys??? :)

This is how much fun a temperature in the high 50's with snow on the ground plus a sandbox is....

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Last weekend we had a birthday celebration for my grandpa. It was really nice to get together and have a nice sit-down dinner. The boys enjoyed helping great-grandpa open his gifts. Ethan decided that great-grandpa would like chocolate chip cookies for his present, so we had fun baking them. It was a fun birthday celebration and a great excuse to get the family together.

Toys

Ethan, Caleb and Jim have been playing trains and marble toys:

Climbing on daddy....a favorite activity of the boys.

Bathtime with Caleb - 20 months old :)

SLEDDING!

Today our playgroup went sledding and it was the perfect weather for it. Kind of icy on top due to the low temps so the kids were really able to get some speed. Ethan really got into it and Caleb, well he wanted nothing to do with it really, but he enjoyed walking around and watching the other kids - we had a great time!

Ethan behind the camera....

The boys saying "hi"....

Where is Ethan?

We would say "Where is Ethan?" and then Caleb would come and knock down the tower :)

Fire Station Tour

Today our playgroup took a tour of the fire station and the kids had a blast! There were a couple times that our tour guides changed because there was a call and we watched the fire tricks head off. Ethan loved sitting up in the fire truck. I was really proud of him because last year he was took afraid to and this year, he climbed right up! I did however had to bribe him to try on the helmet - go figure!
