Karate class at school has been a "HIT" so far. It is so intense and holds their attention, just about as long as anything else at this age.
The boys are having a good time playing in the hay fort that Uncle Rob built them in the barn. It truly is the simple things in life that can be the most fun.
Eli and Colter sledding at Modee and Pappy's house. They were going all the way from the house, through the front yard, down the road all the way to the cul-se-sac. Hike up and repeat 20 times.
This week has been warm and sunny--we are ready for spring! It has been snowy and cold for quite a while around here and we have been having a great time skiing, sledding and digging snow forts. However, it is time for some green grass and sunshine! Dylan has been riding his bike around snow or shine. He is so funny these days. Starting to speak in real sentences and let people know what he has on his mind. He loves his big brother and wants to do anything the big boys are doing. He makes funny animal parades, loves puzzles and books. Bedtime is quite the packed event, Colter always had blue blankie and Dylan has his own blue blankie (Colter's back up blankie was passed down) and now Dylan also has Baby Ditto and a "sleeping toy" which changes each night. He has even been carrying them upstairs with him to join us in bed. One night he even packed his backpack with all his stuff in the middle of the night and brought it all upstairs.
Colter is about to loose his second tooth. The grown up teeth are coming in in the same order as his baby teeth did, I wonder if that is what happens for everyone? He continues to amaze me with his curiosity, insight, hunor and overall zest for life. He decided that he and Dylan should have their own rooms, I was more distressed by this than they were, and proceeded to seperate everything. They have both been very excited about the change, except at bedtime when each has to sleep alone. He finished his hockey season and received a team photo, individual photo and trophy at the banquet. Although he seemed a bit lukewarm about the whole experience during the season, he is now a huge hockey fan and can't wait to play again next year. He improved so much throughout the season and is a pretty good skater now. He can race around with all his friends and likes to push Dylan around on the little walkers calling it the "Colter Express". We have been watching Planet Earth and Blue Planet lately and he is loving it. All of the animals and facts are stored in his brain to be shared with anyone who will listen. It is a great series and interesting for all ages.
Finally got the new laptop, so we should have some fresh pics up soon. Old one pooped out, luckily I was able to transfer everything - big relief!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
