Life in Photos

Now that Lucy goes outside, Josy doesn’t really understand why he doesn’t get to go outside all the time too.



These are the jammies Gabe got for his third Christmas. Josy is now wearing them and he’s not even one.



The swings have become quite popular. Gabe loves the babyswing and regularly asks if we can push him “as high as I like to go.” Apparently he goes as fast as the Blue Angels.





We took a bike ride to the glacier and I let the boys play in the sand for a bit. There were also a bunch of people painting, which was kindof random.









This one doesn’t get to play in the dishwasher very often because he weighs so much more than Gabe that I’m actually afraid he might break the door. But every once in awhile he gets away with it...



I found this suit in the closet that my cousin had given me and Gabe insteaded on trying it on. He also purposely put his leg like that...



He was pretty upset that I wouldn’t let him wear the shirt and tie all day, so I told him he could wear it for a few minutes. Naturally he had to go use his tools so we now have the fanciest construction guy ever.



He did that all by himself.



He may be spending too much time with Lucy.



He definitely loved his dinner!!



We took a walk to a pond that I used to play at when I was a kid. Well, I walked and Gabe rode his bike. It’s about three blocks away and only took us 40 minutes...



Pat borrowed our old neighbors bike and took the boys out for a spin.



It may be time to mow the lawn...

Easter Eggs and Cars

-

My friend had surgery again, so her two kids are staying with us, which had been fun. It definitely has made our house fuller…and noisier… But they’re good kids and we’ve had a lot of fun. Monday we dyed Easter eggs. Josy ended up not participating, but the other three had a great time. Gabe was very proud of his special egg, where he painted the three crosses. The next day, Josy got to dye eggs with Cathy and Gabe missed out, so it all evened out. Also, Josy dyed eggs at school on Wednesday, so we have lot of eggs around here… Then the kids all made cars for Awana. Luckily I’d just gotten two very large Amazon boxes for a work project, and they worked perfectly. So we had several days of construction and lessons about knife skills. And now we have two very large cars taking up the majority of the living room… But they’re very proud of them and are having entirely too much fun with them.

A Very Cold Day

We had another round of ski lessons yesterday. Unfortunately, it was cold. Very, very cold. Realistically it was just the wind chill. We would have been fine skiing in the teens, but the wind knocked it down and extra 15 degrees and that was too much. Pat and I took our gear, but decided it was way too cold, so we hung out in the lodge waiting for the boys.  A half hour into the lesson, I got a call from a friend that works up there that Josy was in the office. He’d made it a half hour before deciding that it was too cold to ski. So he hung out in the lodge with us. Gabe made it the whole time and didn’t want to quit to come inside. But Pat told him no and as soon as he came in, he realized that his fingers and ties were numb.  We ate lunch and then headed home. Hopefully the weather will be more pleasant next weekend…

A Car Wash

Spring is finally here and it feels so good!! I mean, it still freezes overnight, which makes for sound very cold morning runs, but then it’s warm during the day. In fact, it was so warm, that Gabe wanted to run in the sprinkler. Pat had screwed the sprayer on so tight that I couldn’t get it off, which was the only reason he didn’t… Instead he decided to wash the car. I’m not going to say that the quality of the car wash was the best, but I will not complain about a kid wanting to wash my car. Yesterday there was a sports team doing a car wash fundraiser and I was going to take the car in, but Gabe was proud of his washing job, so we didn’t. I think my car is going to look like this for a while… Then we got dinner at the food trucks and headed home for a fire and s’mores.
