Random Winter Fun

Jayden took a nap and woke up as a unicorn!

Checking on our snowman from her window.

Channeling our inner Bill Watterson.  Or maybe Weekend at Bernie's.

Flavor savors for everyone!

Wrestling Daddy when he's tired.

Mom, it's time to wash the laundry!

Carter the foreman.
"Get back to work!"

Caleb the flagger.
"It's fun to stay at the......"

Carter the surfer.
"This is awesome!"

Jayden the auto mechanic.
"Looks like your catalytic converter has sprung a leak, you're going to need more blinker fluid.  It's gonna cost ya."

Caleb the cowboy.
"Ride like the wind Bullseye!"
Caleb the wanna-be astronaut.
"Do astronauts have to be so tall?"

Running a mile in our kitchen.  Roughly 180 laps around the kitchen table.
They didn't even break a sweat.

Lunch on the kitchen floor.
Why not?

Thank goodness the Rec center does this indoor playground!

Releasing some wiggles.

And they score!

Time for a bike ride.

Fearless!

Jayden did so great!


Daddy told him he wasn't allowed to bite people.

Kneeling down for prayer, Caleb decides he wants to be in the middle of everybody.

Does this count as three servings, or one?

Brother time.

We got tired of pulling Caleb off the table.


Earthquake building challenge.
Team Carter.

Team Jayden.
Caleb wasn't very interested in participating.

This is Jayden's leaf.  It's really big.

Peek-a-boo!

Where'd everybody go?

Enjoying some sunshine together.

Everyone's gone again!

Helping mom sweep.

Gone again!

There you are!

Climbed up at snatched a controller for himself.

Bug rainbow

Little pianist

Sneaking onto the computer.

Silly boy

Silly face

Pretty face

Pretty skeptical face


Still up to his old tricks.

But you love me!!

Christmas Day


Merry Christmas! 

Finding what Santa brought.

Yes!  This is perfect!

Stockings!  What could be in here?

Yes! Takkis!  

Caleb reading the card Santa left for him.


Jayden and Caleb are looking at the new presents. Carter is still going to town on his punching bag. 

Caleb finally found what Santa left for him.

Mistletoe for Daddy

Frozen Coloring book!

Carter got a sword!

Try to take it back Carter. 

Caleb got bored opening his own present. We pulled the corner off to see if he would get interested, but he wanted to go help his brother. 

Best brother ever. Carter made this magic wand for Jayden. 

Is it a mop or a broom?

I think it's a mop. 

Daddy and his new running pack. 

Mommy's travel map. Now we've got to go see the world. 

Enjoying a new art set. Thanks Grandma. 

Mom and Dad are enjoying a morning where all the kids are entertained and fairly quiet. 

Using his presents together is more fun. 

I win!

Setting up some obstacles on the track. 

Caleb spent breakfast watching the snow fall. 

When you're Elsa, the cold doesn't bother you anyway. 

"Into the Unknown!"

Time to shovel it up. 

Incoming!

That was not smart. 

Two shovels makes the work take twice as long. :)

How does this work?

Dad told Carter to chill out. 

Now that the work is done, it is time to play!

Still barefoot. Crazy girl. 
Hello Mr. Snowman. 

Hey Caleb, what's a Snowman's Favorite Food?
BRRR-itos. 

Say Freeze!

"I get it...Brrr-itos."

Time to chill with our new friend. 

Christmas day video game spectacular. 

Sucker time. 

Money from the toothfairy from Christmas eve, and another tooth to put under the pillow tonight. 

I'm gonna be rich!

After a long Christmas day, we let them sleep in the fort again, but Jayden decided the recliner was more comfortable.
