Ballet Class

It was a COLD day and since Lauren's ballet class is in Miss Ahna's garage, we kept her sweats on and notice her tutu as well.

I had to take video of their "free dance" time. This is at the end of class, they all get to do what they want and show Miss Ahna what they have learned. It is too cute and usually brings lots of smiles and laughs to me and the boys' faces. Most of the time they just walk around looking at each other and in the beginning this is what Lauren did, but then she warmed up and did many, many twirls. You'll notice how she stops to talk to the boys because they are telling her to dance.

More Snow as Mimi visits

Will the snow ever end?? Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful and the boys always want snow, but I think we are snowed out!! Another weekend of church being canceled, it was a bummer. At least Mimi was hear to have fun with us!! She got in right before the snow started!!




It's snowed most of the day on Saturday. While it was snowing we all went outside to play in it. Lauren helped Mimi clean off the cars.



The boys were having fun playing "star wars" in the snow and then a snowball fight with Mimi. Thankfully Sunday warmed up and the roads ended up being fine by the time Mimi left. Sorry Mom, I know you didn't want me to take your picture with your hair like that, but I don't always remember to take pictures while you are here. Thanks for coming all the way up in yucky weather to visit us!! We love you!! Like I said, after you left the boys said, "It's not the same in our house without Mimi!"

Playing in the snow with friends

The next day after the snowstorm all weekend, (Monday) February 1, we went sled ridding with our great friends. Robin, Leigha, Aaron and Zack Kempf. Lauren and Leigha loved swinging in the snow.




Robin, Leigha and Aaron.




Aaron kept scaring Robin, the hills were pretty steep and we didn't want the boys crashing into the homes and pond nearby. It actually warmed up this day and the boys all took off their jackets because they were sweating. I have to brag which I hope I don't do too much. Josh was talking with some boys and I wasn't sure what was going on, so like a protective mother that I am, I asked, "Josh what's going on" and he said "Mom, I'm just asking them if they know Jesus!" I was proud but taken back a bit, since Josh isn't always my outspoken one. I just pray that as they grow up to be teenagers this will still be heavy on their hearts, and they will have the courage to witness and not be ashamed of Christ!!





It was a fun day and a fun time with great godly friends!! I'm so thankful that the Lord allowed Robin and my path to cross. We met at the boys Christian school years ago, when Zack & Josh were in K-4 together. Robin and I were both pregnant at the same time with girls. Zack & Josh were in the same K-5 class the next year. They now attend our church and homeschool just like we do. Just wish they lived right around the corner!!
