Snow, snow, SNOW!

We spent 3 days in Leavenworth to enjoy the snow! The children had so much fun sledding (see slideshow below) and seeing the mountains. The first night we were there, Brian took Megan and Zachary to a tubing place with a rope tow. They really loved it!








Sledding in Leavenworth!

No School!

This week, so far, has been lazy and slow! When the children don't have school, things are always a bit more relaxed :) However, we are planning on taking the children sledding tomorrow, so we are preparing for that trip. I will post pictures when we get back!

My sister, Siri, has been visiting from Utah this week! It has been so nice to see her and her baby Jack! Well, he isn't much of a little baby anymore...he is walking around and will turn One in April :) Our family got together last night for dinner, so we could visit with Siri, and I totally forgot to grab my camera!! Bummer! Oh well, we had a really nice time, and it will just be one of those memories that stays in our minds, instead of on photo paper. In my case, that is always a bit risky because my mind is fading fast!

Happy Valentine's Day!






"Urban Sledding" on Snow Day!

Brian and the children created an awesome "Urban Sledding" experience!! They hooked the sled to Brian's bike! Man powered sledding!!

All the children had a blast! A lot of neighborhood children showed up too...Brian was recording the distance while he was towing the children, and he ended up biking for a TOTAL of 3 miles!

Amelia's Turn!


Poor Anna missed all the fun...she had an ear infection, so she camped out on the couch. She doesn't look very sick, does she...?

12th Anniversary in Leavenworth

We really loved snowshoeing in Leavenworth...it was beautiful!The icicles were amazing in Icicle Canyon!The red berries gave a red splash to the winter wonderland.
We really liked this tree...we thought is was pretty!The rocks in the river were piled with snow, so they looked like floating marshmallows! The landscape was beautiful...truly a Winter Wonderland!

The icicles were amazing! This picture is showing how the layer of snow on the roof at Run of the River Bed & Breakfast was sliding down, but hadn't fallen yet...it was literally hanging over the edge of the roof at least 2 feet!

Amelia turns 3!

Happy Birthday to Amelia! Blowing out her candles (something she has been talking about for months!)

Opening birthday presents!
Beautiful Ladies!
