A visit to the cabin!

At the end of February we were invited to go to a cabin in Island Park with Josh and Tiffany.  It was so much fun.  The kids absolutely loved every minute of it.  We stayed for two nights.  The kids got to go sleigh riding and then on Saturday we went to the Island Park swimming pool.  At night we played games and watched movies.  It was TONS of fun!!!

Dave hadn't been on a snow machine in a lot of years.  He was excited to get to drive one.

Carter and Josie were pulled behind the snow machine to a big hill to sleigh down.  Macie and Trooper were not interested in being out in the cold snow so they stayed back at the cabin with Tiffany and I and we played play-doh.  I love little vacations.

February has come and gone!

Macie and Sydnee were having so much fun with Carter's new radio.  They got the dance stuff on and were dancing away. 

I am not sure about this little girl.  She is like a combination of a dancing fairy, Rambo, and a great hunter.

She was so tired after helping us decorate for Carter's Birthday Party that she had her bath and passed out on top of the back of the couch.  It looks very comfortable.

HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY CARTER!!!

Our house was turned into a Jurassic Park.  Carter has loved Dinosaurs for as long as I can remember.  He was so excited when he could have is whole birthday be Dinosaurs.  He was also thrilled that he could invite his friends from school and church.  We ended up having the party here at our house.  I was a little surprised that he didn't want to have it at Leo's.  He told me that he wanted to play games with all of his friends and have a pinata so we had to have it at our house.

Carter's cake turned out really good this year.  I have had really a lot of fun making the kids' cakes these last few years.

This picture turned out so good.  This was a perfect birthday picture.  Carter and Macie love each other so much. 

This was a great picture that all the kids actually sat down, looked up, and smiled the first time.  That doesn't happen too often with a bunch of 5 year old kids.

This was Christopher, one of Carter's friends from school.  He has made really a lot of fun friends this year.  I can't wait until next year in Kindergarten when he meets so many more new kids.

This was Carter's favorite game at his party.  Pin the head on the Dinosaur.

Make a Wish!!!

Carter had to have the volcano corner of his cake. 

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

The kids woke up early so Dave and I could give them a little Valentine's gift. 

After Daddy left we had pink heart pancakes and pink milk.  This is something I have had and done on Valentine's Day for as long as I can remember.  The kids love it too.
