Lots of February Fun!

Gramma took this picture of Jack and Quent cuddling in Gramma and Papa's bed watching TV.  They had spent the night and woke up in the morning and went straight to cuddle in bed with Gramma and Papa.

They do the same thing with Momma and Dadddy!

Yummy Icicles!!

"I'm gonna get you with this snowball Momma!"

"I am the King of the World!"

Watching a movie at Uncle Dan and Aunt Betty's house:

Jack, Quent, Alexis, Tessa, Gramma and Avery - CUTE!

Quentin being silly with the help of Aunt Jean and Aunt Barbie, while we wait for lunch at the restaurant.

 We went to lunch for Aunt Margaret's Birthday - but I have no pictures of her - how did that happen?!

Yep, he is quite the entertainer!

Jack was not as eager to play silly that day, but Aunt Jean sneaked in a little silliness anyway !!

Tom took the boys sledding thsi past Sarturday - they had a BLAST!

Then they came home to play in the snow and build a snowman.  We finally got to use the snowman kit that I had bought from Bronner's back in December.  Not only have we not had that much snow, but when we did get snow it was so cold that the snow would not pack together to make a snowman.  

The boys were pretty excited about their adorable snowman!

First we went Sledding...

The best part of having a January Birthday - 

Is having a SLEDDING PARTY!!

This was last weekend at Avery's sledding party for her 4th birthday!

The boys had never been sledding and they were so excited to try it out.  And, you guessed it it was an instant hit!  They went down and up that hill over and over and then were brave enough to go down on their own!

Negotiating who is going on this sled.

Gramma gives Rob, Avery and Quent a push.

Abby and Tessa getting ready for their ride down the hill.

Quent going alone!

Tessa getting some help up the hill from her Poppy.

Jack making his way up - and bringing his own sled up too!

Gramma's got the pushin' job again!

There's the birthday girl!

Jack loved this saucer - he would lay down on it on his way down the hill and then completely put put his arms and legs and just spin around down the rest of the way.  It was hilarious!

How many kids can you cram into that sled??

So Happy!!

Quent made a new friend (one of the kids there for the party) named Caleb.  Quent jumped right on this kid's sled with him and they rode down together, after that they were buddies!

After the sledding we all went to the lodge for pizza and cake -And to warm up!!

More pictures from Avery's Birthday later...

Hot, Hot, Hot - Hot Chocolate!!

Jack and Quent had never had Hot Chocolate before,

so we tried it one particularly frigid day last week -

And Now we are HOOKED!!

They look so incredibly grown up holding their mugs and then...

we took silly pictures with chocolate mustaches - Momma too!!

Over the weekend it was pretty much below freezing here, but Daddy braved the frigid weather with the boys to go out and have some fun playing in the snow. 

They LOVED it!!

Daddy made a tunnel in the snowhill for the boys to crawl through while they were climbing.

FUN!

Jack was pretending to drive his pirate ship - how cute is that?! 

You can see that he was steering the boat and making the ship noises!

And after spending that time out in the bitter cold...

MORE HOT CHOCOLATE!!

Adorable boys making silly chocolate-y faces
