Outdoor fun

Daddy was home early from work Friday and got in some ice fishing, it was a successful trip, 3lb 4 oz Pickerel...

Posing with his catch

The boys had their friend Jakob over for a sleepover this past week and they thoroughly enjoy Jakob and I think keep him very busy...lol...

Outdoor fun playing in the snow, Jakob helped Naomi climb the big piles of snow just to sled right down them again

She is quite a thrill seeker, she loves the boys snow racers

Owen sliding on his snow racer

Jesse ready for action, they made a path from the front of the driveway down one hill and got enough momentum going to make the second hill into the backyard....:)

Homeschool Creations

Spending quality time with our Uncle Mel building Jesse's Lego car he got for Christmas.....

Naomi wearing her necklace we made in our Character trait lessons from Focus on the Family, the next two weeks we are studying being Obedient... We made heart necklaces and wrote out the words "To love means to obey"...Not sure how many hearts will be left on the necklace after two weeks as she wants to wear it all day long....lol...

Our creation upside down....not sure how to turn it around...lol..but you can still see their handy work...:)

Outside Winter Fun

It was getting dark but this is the three kiddos on their new snow racers, Jesse and Owen got them for Christmas. Naomi LOVES tobogganing too and she is right on the front of the racers with her brothers ...NO FEAR in that girl I tell you...She is a thrill seeker...

Owen on his snow racer.....They tried hooking it up to Daddy's 4 wheeler and got a ride behind ...Now that was fun too....

Snow tunnel fun.....

Hoping that snow tunnel is as strong as it looks....lol

Enjoying some sliding fun on the hills the snow plow created.....

On top of the snow mountain...They dug tunnels and created a fort in the snow....

Naomi enjoying the snow mountain as well....

Our new helmets to wear ...

We had Christmas with my family about a week before Christmas, Jesse and Owen got snow racers from their Aunt and Uncle, they were very excited

Giving Aunt Colleen big hugs for the presents

Opening presents was so fun, Jesse was grinning from ear to ear

Naomi had a lot of fun this year, she actually knew what was going on and to rip the paper and there was something fun inside...lol

Owen with his unopened snow racer and HELMET, which they wear every time they use them, we should have maybe got Naomi a helmet as she is on the snow racers with her big brothers and loving it....
