Our friend put together videos of the kids skiing and snowboarding at Breckenridge. He does a great job!

Cousins!

We had a nice visit with Hap and the two nephews this weekend. Also enjoyed celebrating Uncle Zeb's birthday with a DQ cake!

Daffodil Hill

One of our favorite places to visit in the Spring is this place.

St. Patty's Day Run

Hunter, Jay and John ran the 5 mile yesterday along with some other friends. Yes, I said Hunter! I'm so proud of him. They finished in about an hour, Jay and Hunter that is. Of course my brother ran it in about 35... but he is training for a marathon again, so not a surprise that he can do 5 miles rather fast! I decided to stay home this year. Beau and I did a little bike riding and jogging and enjoyed doing NOTHING while watching some tv. It was so nice to just relax. Work has been crazy again, well it never really let up, so it was nice to have a day to relax and enjoy my family! Have a great Sunday everyone!

Beau loses his 2nd tooth!

Beau lost his other bottom tooth last week. Now we wait for both of those to come in and one on top is loose! He's going to have a pretty big gap in the front!

Vacation!

We were able to take a vacation (it's been almost 2 years!) over President's Day Weekend. We flew to Colorado on Thursday morning, Feb 17th and then drove about 2 hours up to Breckenridge. We rented a house with about 15 other adults and children. The group consisted of Jay's college friends, their spouses/significant others and children. Two families live in Colorado and the rest are in Illinois. We had a great time with friends. I think it's really neat to see Jay's friends so close and that we can get together as families now.

In the rental car on our way!

Haircuts and LOTS of Snow

Jay offered the boys money to get haircuts and they accepted. Hunter wanted to let his grow and Beau did too, but then the money sounded better to them!

The boys made a snowman one Sunday afternoon.

And enjoyed some sledding while being pulled by the four wheeler.
