Our life in pictures


He loves to make his own outfits.  If I do not stop him, he changes his clothes every few hours.  When I find clothes strewn around his room, I usually assume they are clean. 

If stolen bread is sweet, what is stolen milk while sitting on the table???

Play center with a friend



On our way to tour a greenhouse, we stopped at Cabela's.  

Cabela's

A friend manages a greenhouse (it covers several acres) and we got a tour.


Second sledding outing.  Nathan wasn't too happy for the first hour and cried for most of that time. 

Elizabeth and a friend. 

Crash!


More friends

This is what David did most of the time: race!

View of the river beyond the hill.


1 hill; 2 toboggan runs

Elizabeth being helpful.

At the end, Nathan decided to try to go sledding, but still didn't feel very well. 



In early February, my cousin got married and the wedding reception was at a bowling alley!











Another play center; helps wear off energy in the winter!













Nathan and Joshua's engineering skills.


I love Joshua's expression.  As my grandma once said, "He looks like he's full of the dickens." 



Elizabeth's Valentine's treat; the leaf said that is was from her.


Valentine's stickers

Nathan first attempt at writing letters: E,N,J (I guess he sees his siblings names quite a bit!)


David had a friend sleep over!  Playing connect 4!

More crafts: cookie cutters dipped in glue and sprinkled with glitter

This child LOVES to make up his own outfits, even if it's with hats!

Sister



My sister at a recent farm show.  She won grand champion market heifer! Ahh, the memories of showing cattle... although I don't think mine ever looked that fluffy!

Christmas musical

I am already running behind in trying to post things (Thanksgiving!) but here are a few pictures from the kids' school Christmas musical entitled, "Christmas in Egypt."  Both D and E had solos! (No pics of that, though).
