Sweet Sisters

Rebekah regularly crawls into bed with Melanie. It's so sweet, she's such a snuggler and Melanie is so good to her. What a great way to end the day - to come in to check on the kids and find this sweet scene. Just after I posted this I went to bed and found Rebekah in Melanie's bed again.

Quirky

What can I say about this girl? She has her own style . . . she's a poser. . .she cracks me up! - and she's got a follower :o)

Skiing With James

This was not much of a Winter for skiing, but the kids enjoyed it anyway. It was James' first year, so I guess he didn't have anything to compare it to and he enjoyed it. He's a real speed deamon! Eric and I only went this one day this year - he took the morning shift and I took the afternoon. The girls had their friends to ski with, but luckily James isn't embarrassed of being seen with his parents - yet. (or maybe he is . . . .) We had a good time but this was the only time I got to ride the lift with him, the other times he jumped on ahead of me and then he flew down the hill so fast I told him he wasn't much of a ski buddy. If I had fallen and cracked my head he would have never known! Good thing I was okay! ;) He's a cutie!

Cookie Dough and Chocolate Malts

Usually when I make cookies (almost always chocolate chip, since that's everyone's favorite) Melanie calls licking the mixing paddle, but she was gone skiing or something this time and Rebekah was all to happy to take the job. Mmm, nothing beats cookie dough! For some reason I don't often make these yummy treats, but they always remind us of Grandma Diane because we can always count on chocolate malts at her house! Wishing you could have been here to enjoy these with us!

Ice Hockey

Out on the new pond. Notice there's hardly a stitch of snow on the banks - what a wierd Winter we had.

James and Melissa are getting pretty good.

I think on this day we had Pat and Colleen, Erin and Brian, Kalin and Andy, Eric, Me, Melissa and James.

James Wrestling

This was James second year wrestling. He had a great time and is becoming a good wrestler.
