It Finally Snowed!!

Well it finally snowed. We skipped soccer this morning to get out and enjoy the weather in case it started to rain. The kids loved it. I thought Kelsey would wimp out but she was a trooper and we stayed out for about 1 1/2 hours. Garrett even went out for a second play later in the day.

Garrett loves his new snow shovel that Gran gave him for Christmas. He shoveled everything including much of Kilmarnock.

Kesley tried and tried to make a snowball but usually dropped whatever snow she managed to pick up before she stood up. I started to hand her snow so she could throw it at me.

Sledding down the back stairs. Seemed like a good idea until I got a huge load of snow down the back of my pants. Brrrrrrrrr...

You can't have a snow day without a snowball fight.

Kesley prefered biking the slippery driveway instead of struggling to walk in the snow.

We were lucky enough to have a visit from Grandpa Jerry, Gran, and Bella. Garrett got to try out his new snowshoes that Grandpa bought him for Christmas. They are so cool! He did very well but thought they were too heavy.

January 2011

Well I have to admit that I have had no energy at the end of a day to work on this blog. The problem is that if I wait too long it gets harder and harder to keep it up to date. So here it is... a quick summary of the past month.

Kelsey got close and personal with a "Moo".

Kelsey is a big fan of the farm. Unfortunately, she saw a horse poo and now you can't say farm or horse to her without her replying, "Neigh. Poo."

Kelsey and Garrett love racing up and down the hallway. Both are big cheaters and Kelsey usually trips after about 10 steps.

Garrett usually insists that he races wearing his soccer jersey. According to him he can't play soccer or race without a number on his back.

Garrett tried ice skating. He didn't really like using the bar but preferred Cary holding him up and pulling him around the ice.

Garrett turned 3! He had two birthday parties and had a great time at both.

Playing with the cousins.

Big dinner number two! Loving sitting with cousin Caige who he thinks is so cool.

Kelsey is in a big dress up phase. We can't keep her away from Garrett's swim stuff.

Bathtime at our house is anything but relaxing. Garrett and Kelsey end their baths by running around in either their shark or monster towels growling and screaming.

So cute!

Our kitchen floor has been undergoing $expensive$ renos for the past two weeks. Bob was great with the kids and this is Garrett learning to drill. It was really cute watching him help using all of his plastic tools.
