Happy Birthday Ethie-Beethie-Lemon-Squeezie

 

Happy Birthday to my little Ethie-Beethie-Lemon-Squeezie. Man I love this kid so much. He was so fun to give things too because he was so extremely happy about everything. He is sooooo busy, and sometimes I don’t think I’m going to make it through the day with him, but man he smiles and says, “I love you” and my heart just melts.

Hike to the Stalactite/Stalagmite Caves

James took the day off for Ethan’s birthday, so we asked Ethan what he wanted to do and he said go for a hike. We went to the stalactite caves at Comb Ridge. It was a great hike, but I’m not going to lie, it was kind of hard on the pregnant woman. There were fresh snake tracks everywhere, we are pretty sure there is a den up there. It was kind of freaky.

On the drive out we randomly saw my nephew Brett and his friend going to the same caves. It was our first time, and theirs. I thought it was crazy seeing them.

Snowmobiling with Becky and Greg

During spring break we were lucky enough to spend the day snowmobiling with Becky and Greg. We were so happy that we had fresh new snow for the occasion. It was a ton of fun, thanks for spending the day with us guys.

Family Hike at White Rock

Snowmobiling and Sledding

We love snowmobiling and sledding with the kids. On this outing we actually saw a ton of cougar tracks at the spot we stopped to go sledding. It didn’t take long for James and I to decide to play in another area.

Happy 11 Years at Camp Jackson

For our 11^th anniversary this year we decided to snowmobile up to the new lodge and spend the night. This was my first time staying over night during the winter. We took some stakes and some easy to prepare things and cooked up a way yummy dinner. I love that we have snowmobiles and can visit Camp Jackson during the winter. By the way, it really has been a great 11 years. I love you James!

 

Pictures of the Little Ones

Being home with the little ones is so fun (most of the time). These pictures were taken when I was 20 weeks (½ way), Ethan actually took the picture of me. 

The little ones playing in the snow with their snow man named Harry Potter. I wish we would have gotten way more snow this year, and not just so we could have played more.

Christmas 2012

Christmas was great! The children got spoiled, and were happy with everything they got.
