Fun in the Snow!

We spent a few days in Buffalo, New York visiting some of Dave's family. The first couple of days were pretty warm, so the snow melted, but then there was a fresh snowfall one night and had a beautiful snow covering again. The boys enjoyed every minute of their time in the snow!


We bought a plastic snowboard for the boys to play on in the yard. They had so much fun snowboarding down the small hill in Grandpa & Grandma's front yard. Even Cayden got the 'hang of it' and could stay on!

Bryce & Cayden had their ammunition ready...and then they called Mommy out to throw some snowballs at!

More Snow Fun!

We took a snow hike up in the woods behind Dave's parent's house. It brought back many memories for Dave!


One day we took the boys to the ski hill. Bryce and Dylan took their 2nd snowboarding lessons while Dave enjoyed skiing with his brother, Bill and some of his nephews.

We went sledding twice. Here they are all lined up ready to 'race' down the hill with Daddy!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

I hope everyone had a very special day yesterday with your 'valentine'. Dave and the boys made our Valentine meal for Sunday lunch. I loved watching them as they made heart shaped pancakes! Very sweet! We had a yummy meal of pancakes, bacon & sausage, eggs and chocolate dipped strawberries!

The crew- hard at work. And I must point out the pliers! That was the easiest way they could find to pick up the hot heart-shaped mold!




Making a blueberry pancake for Mommy- yummy!!

Random Shots

I absolutely LOVE this picture! These boys have been so busy working on their target shooting lately! They've enjoyed hunting trips out in our river bottom area with their Daddy also.


Since our kitty, Milkshake, has become a temporary indoor cat, she gets quite the pampering! Cayden loves putting blankets on her to make her "nice and cozy."


A sweet picture of Cayden, napping on the couch!

Milkshake Saga- Part 2!!

As most of you know from a previous blog, our kitten, Milkshake, got a hook stuck in her paw a few weeks ago and has had a 'cast' on it. Well...she got the cast taken off on Tuesday...brought her home...let her outside because she has missed being outside...she was still favoring that foot some...she jumped off of something...put too much weight on her back leg...and yes, broke her back leg!! So, Wednesday, she was back on the vet table and now has a very large cast on her back leg! Poor thing! She really had a rough time last night. I'm sure she was still in some pain and everytime she moved, she let out a cry! I'm gad she seems more comfortable today!

SNOW!!

The boys enjoyed a snow day today! We had just about 1 1/2 inches, so just enough for these southern boys to enjoy playing in it! They hiked through the woods with the neighbor boys and sledded down a big hill and threw snowballs! By the time we decided to build a snowman, it was already in the melting stage, so that didn't get done! It's almost all gone this evening, after having a beautiful sunny day!


The boys in front of the pond. There is a little pond by the big one with a waterfall in it and it was totally frozen, so that was pretty!
