Burrrrr!!

It is seriously freezing cold here!  The first day we woke up it was a big 5 degrees outside!  This cold weather isn't stopping us though.  We have been sledding, getting sled rides behind the quad and playing fun games in the snow.  I can't imagine having to dress my kids for the snow everyday in the winter, it is quite the ordeal!! Hope you are all enjoying some cold weather fun with your families too!!

The kids getting ready for sledding behind the quad.

Hunter 7, Brody 6 1/2, Case 4 1/2, Katlyn 4 1/2, Ledger 2 1/2

And their off! I found this fun game on my friend Sara's blog where you freeze colored water in ice cube trays and then hide the ice cubes in the snow.  The kids loved finding the colorful ice! It was like Easter in the winter!! 

Brody found some colorful ice cubes in the frozen flowers!

Counting the ice cubes.  23 total!

Case had a hard time picking up the ice cubes with his gloves on!  Not only that but the snow is so deep it's hard to walk!!

Ledger can only handle a few minutes of the cold before he is ready to

 head in to the warm cabin!

Jim and Ledger drove the quad while the others slid behind it!

Here they are!  Sled rides behind the quad are the best!!

Bye little snow kids!!

Hunter, Katlyn and Case watching a movie on Katlyns new DVD player. About an hour after this picture was taken, Case threw up all over Katlyn.  

So we are all here at the cabin enjoying the 2 plus feet of snow that is surrounding us.  It is freezing cold and snowing as I type.  The kids are having a ball playing and building everything from Legos to forts under the stairs.  We have been sledding twice already which was quite interesting since Jeremy is not here and I took all three boys by myself.  Talk about a workout!  I was sweating and it is 25 degrees outside!!  Is this my sign that it is time to start the workout program again? I think so!  Hope you are all recovering from the Christmas craziness and enjoying time with your families.  Stay tuned for more cabin fun in Pinetop.  

Friends

This is Katlyn.

 She and Case were born one month apart.  They go to preschool together and often play together at Sugars house.  Case notices every new outfit Katlyn gets and is always telling me what she does at preschool. Katlyn says Case is the husband of her baby doll Bella Ryce.

 They are very good friends which is why when Case leaned over the bunk bed last night and threw up Kanks homemade spaghetti and meatballs all over her, she in return, threw up all over herself.  After we got them all cleaned up and realized Case has the stomach flu (yep, all night long!!) Katlyn said, "Case threw up and then I threw up cause I'm his friend and I didn't want him to feel bad."  

Friends...they are the best!!
