 Making pizzas and pics of the finished products. Tristan did not want cheese on his....weird!


Everyone is in their pj's and Tony is reading them a book to settle down before we leave for the night.

We hung out with the Kloster's on Sunday night and as always it was a great time. We had a yummy dinner, some nice adult beverages and the kids had a great time playing!! What a great sunday.

Here is a video of the kids coming down the slide!

Makenna climbing up the stairs to the big slide!!









We went to Monkey Joes for Jameson's 6th Birthday party and boy did the kids have a blast. Here are some pics to prove it. Makenna just woke up from a nap before we left, so she took a little while to warm up to the madess, but once she did she ran ALL over as always. It was a saturday and there were A LOT of kids and I will admit I lost Makenna for about 5 minutes and I was in major panic mode. They do not allow any kids out or parents for that matter unless everyone has a matching numbered bracelet, but still I was nervous. I found her bouncing her heart out in one of the bounce houses and she sure did not know she lost me....haha!

 Tristan sledding with Daddy!!
 Walking back up the hill to enjoy another ride...worst part by far is getting back up to the top of the hill. Poor Patrick does sooooo much walking with work now, he really loved this part the best. His legs were killing him needless to say. Tristan didn't mind....haha! I was fortunate enough to be inside with Makenna who was napping. I briefly made an appearance to get some pics and make sure Patrick was watching Tristan by the road.
 Tristan landed in the road one of the rides I happened to see. He was by himself only because I asked to get a pic of him riding by himself. He hit the ramp him and Patrick made and shot him further into the road. His comment when he was done and laying just like this, "T-H-A-T......W-A-S.....A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!" Nice. All boy!
 Coming down the hill one other time, almost taking out the lil snowman our neighbor Jameson and his mom made.
 Hitting the ramp as Patrick jumped off the sled per Tristan's request. He wanted to do it alone, with just a little bit of Patrick's help....haha! What a nice Daddy taking one for the team.
Gettig a starting push from Daddy.

Just a few pics from the boys sledding on Sunday while Makenna napped. Poor Makenna has not got to enjoy any sledding yet, but she did not start the weekend out well. I had to leave work early on Thrusday to pick her up because she had a pretty high temperature. I had to stay home friday to take her to the doc and because she could not go to daycare unless fever free for 24 hours. Needless to say she was not, so we stayed home on Friday. Of course this happened when it was snowing the worst. I ended up not having to take her to the doc which was good, keep her medicated with ibuprofen, pushed fluids as best I could to keep her hydrated and just watched her very closely. She looked awful. By Sunday she was completely back to normal, but mommy still did not want her playig in the snow. Overall a nice weekend despite Makenna having a fever and Patrick's Broncos loosing to the Patriot's in the playoff game, which was not pretty at all.




This is a pic of our neighbors bird house. I thought it looked neat with the bright red and while it was still snowing.
Here are some pics of Tristan playing in the snow we got the other day. Of course I had to try out the new camera some more.

Here are just some pics of adorable Hudson that I thought his parents would enjoy. I was messing with my new camera and again and the different effects. Love this kid.

 Just running around the yard having fun.


 Having fun on the Teeter Totter with Makenna.
 Come on down the slide Hudson. I will catch you.

                                           Look at Makenna catching Hudson.....so sweet!

Just playing in the snow!!

 Mom, lets go swing please!!
 Tristan swinging away....he would have stayed out all afternoon.

 Makenna loving the swing. She was just laughing it up. I do not understand how her face was not freezing. I had my own face covered with a scarf. She would not let me to the same to her. Her hands and face were a little bothered once we got inside, she was not a fan.

 Teeter Totter with Bubby!! This is the first time Makenna was truly coordinated enough to do it all by herself and really enjoy it. She could not stop laughing.

Well it snowed a little today and Tristan insisted on going out in it. The only problem was the cold wind. This is the worst part when it is cold, the ice wind blowing at your face. After a while of watching Tristan play in the backyard, Makenna decided she needed to be out there also which meant mommy got to bundle up to go outside as well....yay (not so much!). The only positive, well two postives out of this situation: 1) playing with my kids and 2) I get to play with my new camera outside. Here are some of the pics I got. Did I say how much I love my camera.
