February 2018 - Snow much!

This month we went to visit the Portage Glacier as a family.  We thought it was a 4 mile hike across the frozen lake round trip.  Turned out to be 4 miles one way.  Pulling the sled through the snow across the lake we felt like we just kept walking and never got any closer to the glacier.  Aunt Darla joined us for the adventure and about got frostbite. Still it was a memorable adventure and as always the kids were so fun and tough!
The ice literally glows blue! It's surreal.

The kids liked finding big hills of glacial ice to slide down. 

Daddy did a lot of carrying!

More glowing ice.

We had a fun picnic lunch out on the ice.


At home Kabe got to work digging in and building a snow cave out of the hill that Brother Dinwiddie plowed by our driveway.  We are so thankful for neighbors with the right equipment to dig us out!

Daddy and Mom looking snazzy for church!




Noah loves to play nerf and has learned the rule about eye protection.  He marches around like this most of the time so he's ready just in case a nerf war breaks out.



We had a new table build with benches to match.  Tyler put epoxy resin on it so that no food gets stuck in it and it's easy to wipe off.  It's so pretty and we love the benches!


Our homeschool co-op had a Valentines party hosted by our friend Hanna.  It was so fun to make the boxes and all the valentines and then get fancied up for the dinner and dance!  She made the whole thing very special. 


Guess who had a birthday this year?  That's right!  Our little buddy is now 3 years old!!!  My, how time flies and he is still the most loved little guy on earth with all his siblings wrapped around his pudgy little finger!
