SnOw!

Both the kids, but especially Denver were excited to wake up and see snow.  Denver was out playing and shoveling in the snow at least 3 times today if not 4 or 5.  I felt like all I did all day was dress and undress kids from snow gear.  Kenna was slightly scared to walk in the snow; I think she was unsure of the how deep it was and if she'd fall in it.  Makenna also wasn't real impressed with the cold temperature and didn't last for long intervals outside like Denver.  She was happier to be inside with her Mommy who had a very good excuse to stay inside as her boots were still packed away and hadn't made it to the new house yet.  Denver on the other hand was loving every minute of it and so happy to finally be able to use the snow shovel he got for Christmas.

So excited to be shoveling!

Denver was such a good big brother and helped Makenna when she was scared stepping in the snow.

Come on Kenna, lets go sledding!

Trying to pull Makenna in the sled (without a rope)

...that didn't work, let's try pushing.

Winter Park Days

I'm quite sure my husband is smiling from ear to ear at work as it seems as winter may finally be here as we finally had enough snow that the ground looked white.  It was quite odd going from a sunny, gorgeous day (maybe around 58 degrees or so) at the park with my kiddos to snow falling and the following day after that being really cold!  Both Monday and Tuesday were nice days and the kids and I spent both of them at the park.  Tuesday I went for my first bike ride with Denver on his bike and me on mine (pulling Kenna in the trailer behind).  In the past I've always walked if Denver was riding his bike and we were going down the street, but I braved it and trusted him to listen and be safe and he did great!

 The kids playing so nice together the other afternoon.

 A common place to find the kids.

I love being able to work in the kitchen in the morning while they eat their breakfast.

Having lunch at the park after riding our bikes there (on Monday)

Denver ran like crazy while we were at the park both days.  I can't imagine how he would've outleted his energy had we not been able to get outside and play!

A beautiful view at the nice little park close to our house.

I have a feeling we'll be spending lots of time here come spring, summer, AND fall!
