January

 January was cold as usual.  Although we did not get near the snow amounts we usually do.  It was a fairly calm and good month.  Here are some of the highlights.

We got the kids snow shovels because they always want to help.  They were so excited and shoveled the sidewalks and driveway after this storm.  It was cute.

 She found a space she liked to call her own.

 Both these pictures I was instructed to take the picture.

 One day we went to the grocery store and got some Kong Kones.  Various sizes based on the one eating it.

 My husband made me a cheesecake for my birthday.

 We also had a Talent/No Talent night with our Ward (church group).  My daughter decided that she was going to hula hoop with her friend to One Direction's "You Don't Know You're Beautiful".  Wish I had video they were cute.  But my phone was being used for music and we didn't have the camera.  Some wise words from my daughter, being funny the"MC" asked them if they did their own stunts. After looking at him like he was crazy she told him "We have been best friends a long time and we really wanted wanted to do this together. So we imagined we could do it, then we believed we could and we can do anything". When I grow up I want to be like my daughter.  Some people came up and told me they loved what she said.  One Friend said that it made her cry.  She said it is so true.  You just need a friend and you can do anything.

Ice Skating and January pics

 Our oldest has been begging to go Ice skating for a while and the local mall has Ice skating has a rink where you can skate and rent skates all for the price of $4(adults) and $2(kids).  So my husband braved the ice while I held our youngest and took pictures.  

   Some pictures of the show fountain next to the rink.

 

 

 When our son got cold I left my husband with our oldest girl and they continued to skate and I took our two youngest into the nice buildings with fireplaces to stay warm.  It was so very nice there.

 

 I love how close my kids are and how much they love each other.

 Sitting in the snow with Daddy.

Our daughter with the Snowman she made all by herself.  She did a pretty good job.  He fell over by the next morning.  I think the deer tried to enjoy the celery arms.

Some days are Just SNOW FUN!!!!

 And this is how a sled hill is formed. Yes that is a snort in the background so equally embarrassing for me as for my husband.  And this video was with his permission.

 Videos of the kids

Snow!

So we haven't had much snow this winter yet. But January came and we finally got enough to build a snow sled hill for the kids. I say we but actually my husband did it this year and he always makes it better than me anyways. Here are a couple pictures and videos of the kids having fun.

They each took turns pushing the other one down the hill.

The second video cracks me up.

Snow Fun!

Here is some fun in the snow. We made a fun snow hill in our front yard. All the neighbor kids came to play. Hope you enjoy the pictures of Daddy and kids playing in the snow.

Daddy gets our little girl to cheer him on while he sleds. You can hear her say, "Go daddy, Go Daddy, Go!"

Snow Angel
Snow fight. Kids against daddies.
He's a little little to enjoy the snow. So he usually stays inside with mommy. However we do have a picture with him in his winter coat.

Snow

Here she is in her snowsuit ready to go out and play in snow.

So it snowed recently and daddy made a little sled hill for his little girl. So I thought that I would share a couple videos. She has soo much fun it is almost impossible to get her to come in and warm up.

Here is a video of her getting daddy with snow and daddy helping her make a snow angel. I don't think that she got it though.

Here she is helping daddy, helping the neighbor shovel snow.

Hope that you enjoyed the videos and pictures.
