Happy Birthday, Guy!

Guy recently celebrated his 2nd birthday in style - with a bundled-up 4-wheeler ride with Grandma and Lincoln. We'll plan a full-blown birthday party with a cake, candles, and friends in the summer.

It's hard to believe our"baby" is already two years old. It's certainly been a busy two years with our two active boys. Guy loves playing with his trains (he calls them "choo-choos") so we got him a Cranky Crane for his birthday. He has also recently developed an interest in the TV. He loves to watch (what else?) train shows - Micky Mouse Choo-choo Express is his current favorite. Of course, Guy's all-time ultimate favorite game is "doing exactly what Lincoln is doing". The two of them can play together pretty well, although they often want to play with the same toy at the same time. I think we've "solved" this problem, though - two of everything!

Snoooooow!

We woke up this morning to our first now of Winter. Sub-20 degree temperatures accompanied the snow, but we still managed to bundle up the kids and get out for a while. We finished off our snowy play time with a nice cup of hot chocolate.

I also got to take advantage of the snow and freezing temperatures and bundle up and play Ultimate for a couple of hours. I guess I'll never grow up - I love playing in the snow (and I have the frost bitten toes to show for it).

Jus' Mowin'

Last weekend we took advantage of the nice weather and tackled the leaves in our back yard. As a four-mower family, we were all able to get in on the action. Scott bought a new mower recently and I got to try it out as he used the old one to tackle the larger piles, while each of the boys has their own.

*** Note that even though Scott is not pictured mowing, he is in fact our official mower. The picture below shows about the second time in our marriage that I have operated a lawn mower.
