Sledding After Fresh Snow storm

We really got quite a bit of new snow the last couple days. It's the really heavy wet snow that gives me a heart attack when I shovel it. I was starting to think that maybe it was just going to be cold for awhile and that we had shoveled the last of this years snow a couple weeks ago. That must have just been wishful thinking. I had my car detailed inside and out last week and so I may be the one to blame for all the new snow. I new my car couldn't stay clean for long. After shoveling the driveway we decided we needed to make the most of the new snow. Ryan & I took the kids sledding.

Conor was loving being outside

Ry pulled Jacob and Conor for a little bit...until they both fell off

Here's Ry going down the hill with all three kids!

I wish I had audio of Conor's laugh. He seriously had a grin from ear to ear the entire time. He was belly laughing all the way down the hill. This is the very first time he's been sledding. He L*O*V*E*D it!!!
Marli was having the time of her life. She went down more than all of us combined. I love this picture of her. She's so happy!



Look at that face....he's such a little stinker! Looking at that picture you would never know that Jacob was ready to go home after about five minutes of being out in the cold. Ryan and I couldn't believe we had to practically force him to enjoy himself.

This picture pretty much sums up the fun time we had. Marli was so excited to be out in the cold, with the fresh snow. She was eating snow and really loving every second of it! I'm completely exhausted from carrying Conor up the hill at least ten times. Looking at these pictures makes it totally worth the effort. I think we'll all sleep good tonight!

Jakey had his friend Andrew from school come over tonight. Andrew brought his older sister Ariel with him. Marli was excited to have a girl to play with. The kids had a blast dressing up as super hero's and playing the wii. I was going to take pictures of the kids, but Jake asked me not to. I'll have to be sneaky next time to get some pic's.
