Winter Wonderland

Now our Winter Wonderland is in Priest Lake that is. We went up last week for a short stay at my Uncle Lynn's cabin. We went with my parents and younger sisters and Charee's family. It was a lot of fun and we wished we could have stayed much longer. We had a good time snowmobiling and fourwheeling and an even better time eating and playing games. Charee smuggled up some candy - thanks so much! Here are some pictures. Yes, that is Brad - he did make it on a family get away with our family and no cows involved, plus he actually had a great time. We all did.
Snow gear is Oh, So Slenderizing!

We got to do a lot of helping to get snow gear on and off - over and over again...
Who is that up there balancing on a boulder on top of that huge, steep mountain of snow and ice?

Kaden, yeah we were surprised too. Not our usual dare devil.

Brandt loved taking rides on the snowmobiles.

The best part was this ancient kids' helmet he insisted he wear that had goggles that we were sure he couldn't possibly see through. He's learned young that it is all about "the look".

My Macey

She loves to stand up and hold on to things - although we often have to yell "Timber!" She started army crawling last week and made her longest distance today going from the front room down the hall to find out what her brother and his friend, Cole, were doing (nothing good, I'm sure). If you saw the Christmas light show for my house, you know that she conquered quite a distance. She has started eating some baby food although she really does hate it. I've never experienced a child who doesn't like to eat....certainly couldn't be my child. She seems to only open her mouth slightly for bananas and pears - nothing else. But we sure do love her!

Valentine Card Make & Take

I recognize that I am a terrible blogger and the truth is it didn't even make it on my new year's resolutions (I have too many other things I need to do better at) but I did want to get some quick opinions for a Valentine card idea for part of an Enrichment Activity on this coming Tuesday. It needs to be EASY enough that all ladies of all ages can make it in a short amount of time, but it also needs to be cute enough to be worth it. So here are the two choices I came up with. Those who know me - know I can't ever make up my own decisions (I like to make up everyone else's for them, but not my own) and so I would appreciate some input.

Non-traditional colors - and the pink scallop edge really does match the pink heart perfectly (its the same paper) although it doesn't appear that way with my perfection photography. The flower also has a little jewel on it.

Traditional deep red - which once again the hearts match the paper perfectly. The center heart is popped up and is blinged out with some glitter, which you might not be able to tell. Also the red paper has a textured line on it so it really isn't so boring.

What would you rather make at an Enrichment?
