Condo fun

Boys having a fun time in the jetted tub.  Those things gross me out, but the boys had fun.  Had to cut Toby out of this photo.  Don't think he'd be very happy with me if I put him in here.  :)

This kid was such a trooper!  He did really well and is a pretty even tempered baby.  Only gets frustrated when we let him fall off the bed and when he is hungry. 

Making cookies!

Can't believe he's two!

My smart little 3 year old.

TRYING to take a family photo.......notice Dallas is crying?  Wes is picking his nose and blue is staring out the window.

Finally-we got one.  A little out of focus, but who cares!?

Me and my sweet boys.

Snow Paint

I bought the boys some snow paint.  It's just no drip bottles with dye and water.  I figured it was worth getting because of the containers.  I bet if I need more paint, I could add Kool-aid.

They loved it!  It was fun to color the snowman.  He looked quite colorful after they were done.

Toby wrote our last name in the snow. 

We also had molds to play with.  This is an all blue snowman.

Look!  A photo of me!  :) 

Lovebirds.  I love spending time with this man.  Glad thing I have him forever.

The boys.

Blue chillin' in his snow suit.  Yea for resale shops!  I couldn't find him a snow suit that had footies until I tried a few resale shops.  Found this one for only 8 bucks! 

So not flattering of me, but cute of Blue.  And you can still kind of see his bruise on his head. 

The Lake

McCall is such a beautiful place.  Amazing how the look transforms from season to season.  During the summer, we come up and go boating!  The water is still freezing, but it's still fun.

Here is a photo of the people working on the ice sculptures.  These weren't going to be finished before we left.  One year they did a bathroom and we sat Dallas on the toilet.  It was our favorite one.  :)

Our ever so famous-hold your hand out as far as you can photo.  Until Dallas learns how to take photos, this is as good as it gets.

Sledding

Dallas' turn!

Crash!

Wes' turn-

Playing in the Snow!

Cute boys all bundled up.  They sure were ready to play in the snow! 

Building a snowman.

Let's eat the snow!  (as long as it's white....)

Hi Mom!

Toby's always sticks his tongue out when he's concentrating on something.  :)

So cute!

The finished product.  We had to buy a carrot for the nose.  Dallas demanded it.  Glad we could oblige.

McCall Winter Carnival!

We headed up to McCall for the Winter Carnival and had a great time!  This is our third year going and it has been such a fun tradition and one that I hope we do for years to come.  We always stay at the World Mark and it is great to have our own little place.  Love having a kitchen and grill and separate bedrooms for the kids.  It's nice to wake up and go sit on the balcony and see the beautiful snow.  This time we were on the bottom floor so the boys would just jump over the balcony and play right there.  They loved the snow and are at such a fun age, so fun to be with.  We made yummy steaks and hot dogs, drank lots of hot chocolate with millions of marshmallows, went sledding, saw amazing ice sculptures and had a great time as a family.  I had a coupon to make a book that was expiring the day we got home so I quickly made one of the trip.  That got me back into wanting to blog so here I am!  I have a lot to back blog and decided to start with the most recent and work backwards.  Enjoy LOTS of posts and photos!!!

Love having an indoor pool in the winter.  We swam every night!  Glad my boys love water.

This kid has no fear.  I have to put on his water wings right away or else he'll just jump in.  Thinks he can swim without them!!  Guess I know what I'll be doing this summer-swimming lessons!!!

Poor Blue fell off our bed the day before we left and has the BIGGEST black and blue goose egg.  There goes my running for Mother of the Year Award.  And I didn't hand the camera over enough to Toby so here is a lovely self shot with no make-up on of yours truly.  Have to prove that I was on the trip somehow!

Toby and Wes

Jump!

So glad that Toby plays with the boys.  He is such a good Dad and playmate.  It's fun to watch my family of boys.

Mom brough her new Silhouette machine and we decided to etch some dishes.  Look at how cute!  Love how they turned out.

Her machine is fantastic.  I am amazed at how thin it can cut and how nicely it cuts things.  Such a great machine.

I put up a favorite quote by Richard G. Scott on my bathroom wall.  It reads, "We become what we want to be by consistently being what we want to become each day."
