Other Pictures of LIfe

Busy. Busy. Busy. 

This is life right now, but I don't want to miss moments so I'm just doing a quick picture dump of a little bit of life that his been captured on film in this first quarter of the year with a tiny bit of commentary.

Kylie got glasses right at the end of 2015 during Christmas Break sometime I think. I'm sure I"ve showed a picture of her somewhere with them on, but here is the official statement.  

 She loves them and is very good about wearing them and does almost all the time. She is thoughtful about taking them off when doing sports or other craziness.  

 We think she is pretty cute.

Kevin played in the PRC basketball tournament the first weekend in February in Hamilton.  I went along to watch and spent a bit of time with Uncle Michael and Aunt Erna as well. The boys hunkered down in a hotel after their games, dinner, and watching a game at Redeemer. It was a fun weekend!

 Kylie spent the night at Brooke's with her cousins and they they hit the mall and got their nails done and other fun stuff with Aunt Steph. Big life high light for Kylie!

 The kids cleaning. I think Karter is dusting the couch . . . . .????!!!

 Beautiful February moon.

 Kylie is ready for PRC. This is in her dress up box and she likes it!

 Snow.  There wasn't a lot this early part of 2016 . . . so a snowman was made when the opportunity arose.

 Not an uncommon sight if a device can be found  . . . . which is less often.

 Kevin played an exhibition game with PRC and then they had a tournament in February which we drove out to in a storm, got stuck in traffic . . .were sure we were late and were missing VALUABLE hockey time and then finally arrived and found out it was cancelled. This was a bit of a relief and worked out well b/c they got to play three exhibition games with the teams that were there and then they got to play in the rescheduled tournament a couple weeks later . .. so more hockey than expected!

The boys did well in the tournament and came home with a win, a loss and a tie. Pretty exciting for the first PRC hockey team ever!

 The kids put on a play for Jonathan and I. It was pretty funny. They acted out Jonathan and I in different situations and it was funny to see us through their eyes . . in a overly exaggerated way of course.

 Jonathan took advantage of the snowfall and did some snow shoeing.

 I baked cookies.  Ya. That actually is noteworthy. 

 Konnor learned to talk on the phone. (no idea how . . . really! .  but they do figure it out quickly)

 I tried my hand at painting a sign and found it strangely addicting, and extremely satisfying. I have been working myself up to try this for over a year.

This will hang up outside our bathroom door in the hallway. 

(Jonathan - whenever you have a moment)

 Jonathan got a race package for his birthday with five local race admissions.  He also grew a beard at one point in February/March.  He came in 2nd in this race and the beard was nice too :)

 We hit the pool during March Break for a couple hours . . . .

 . . . and then a quick stop at the park.

 My cute oldest three. 

(someday we'll get a picture with all five)

 Daffodils to get us excited about spring and bring us cheer. 

 Snow in April.

Snow in April a week later (the 10th)

 Crazies.

 Sunshine!! and spring! Savannah and Marshall came over to play (and Karter has been asking them to come back pretty much every day since then)

 Cutie patootie - LOVING it outside!

Just like that. All caught up. ;)

For today.
