After the Storm

The day after the storm was nice and sunny! Even little Travis went outside and chilled on the side of a snowbank in his sweet new snowsuit. 

















Winter Storm!

On Saturday, we got hit with a pretty spectacular winter storm that left us buried in 20 inches of snow! We had a warm winter up until then, but it was well worth the wait! It snowed for 24 hours straight, beginning Friday night and stopping Saturday night. Most of that time, it was a blizzard. Tanner was in absolute heaven. He went out 3 times that day to play. This first set of pictures was taken at 10 a.m. Saturday morning, and we already had close to a foot of snow. Josh and I spent 2 hours that morning shoveling out our driveway and sidewalk. And then we had to re-do it that evening- another 2 hours of shoveling. It was insane. 











This next set of pictures was taken at 3 p.m. Tanner went out to the backyard by himself. He was digging trails, and he said that he was making a "snow playground" for Brooklynn. He is so sweet. It's too bad his snow playground got covered by more snow during the following hours and disappeared.

SNOW!!!!

On January 17, we FINALLY got snow!!! We waited forever for it to come. It has been an unusually warm winter this year. Tanner, as usual, ran out to play as fast as he could. He has always been obsessed with snow. Little Brookie, on the other hand, is wary of the odd white stuff falling from the sky. She doesn't know what to think of it yet. I couldn't get a smile out of her. But I think she'll get used to it soon. Tanner's enthusiasm will rub off on her or something.

New Quilt (and Princesses)


The Relief Society just gave Travis a customized baby quilt. It's way cute!





Brookie loves to line up her princesses one by one, asking me the name of each one. She's trying to memorize their names. 

 She is styling these days with all her pretty hair stuff and piggy tails.

Just Chillin'

 Tanner & Brooklynn chilling on their bean bags while having a family movie night

 Tanner's race car track

 Happy little boy

 Decorating mini cupcakes

 Making patterns with Battleship pegs

 Best buds!

Chillin' on the couch (Tanner always wants his brother to "watch shows" with him, even though Travis spends his TV time staring at the ceiling. But oh well- Tanner thinks they're bonding, and that's all that matters!)
