Bunch of random stuff

Random shot of Chloe's new past time... cleaning the kitchen in full princess ensemble. We aren't really discouraging this one.

Random BAD DOG shot. Seriously, I know that was the only sunny spot but BAD DOG!!!

Exploring

We went to this super cool hands-on museum that had a dinosaur walk through with life sized dinosaurs. Awesome.

Chloe's Christmas performance

Finally!

After months of refusing to accept my videos... I can finally get it to work. This video is a video of Chloe's normal day at dance from Thanksgiving time. She gets cut off at the neck a little mostly because I was filming through the door and over people's heads.

Thursday

Time for the big kids

The tubing run saw an expansion last weekend with much help from Hugh, Michelle, Nevin, and Griffen. The videos are all courtesy of Michelle. The big kids were as much, if not more, into the tubing than the kiddos. In fact, Michelle, David, and I stayed for a long time after Hugh was kind-hearted enough to take Nick, Ev, and Griffen inside. Nevin was a trooper and stayed out with us. It was so warm and sunny that we didn't even have our coats on most of the time.

Dave and the Snow Gods

By the way, we have about 8 inches of fresh snow today with another 7-9 predicted for tomorrow. I think Dave seriously upset the Snow Gods!

More Tubing

Tubing 4

Tube Run 2

After another 12-16 inches of snow with some freezing rain in between, this is the extended run. Ev has got some air off the first bump, and we (Dave and I) love tubing on it too. If the storm develops this week, we plan to build it up at the start. The only downside to this is that I am pretty sure we will have snow mounds in the yard until May.

Tube Run 1

This is the first tube run that Dave made after the January 12 storm. We all enjoyed riding the curve.

Let it Snow

This was the storm that hit us on January 12. We got about 2 feet of snow.

Nick is not so fond of the snow, but he will sit in his lawn chair and watch the goings-on.

We realized Nick had a good idea!

Enjoying Dad's iPod and Bose headset. I think our kids might be spoiled...

New vanity and more bums

Basketball and a Bum

Evan started his basketball league on Monday. He was quite the well-dressed four-year old. Not unlike his daddy, he likes to be stylin' on the court.

Nick had a great time running in circles around us.

Evan practicing guarding.

I don't know what they were looking at, but this picture is just too funny not to post!

Getting It

Uncle Pat took Evan for about a half hour. By the time we came back, he was doing this!

Learning to Ski

Ski trip

Uncle Pat came out to teach Evan. Grandma Joan came to catch him at the bottom of the hill!
