First trip out of the Country

We've been meaning to take this trip for years and last weekend we finally did it!  We took the whole family to Canada!

Before we crossed the border we stopped to look at the "line."  Adam showed us a border monument.



When we first crossed the border we saw a visitors center; we pulled over to let the boys play and to brush the dinosaurs teeth.




 
While I attended a Time Out For Women, Adam entertained the boys by swimming in the hotel pool, spending Canadian money, visiting the house where his Grandma lived, and playing at the park.
 



 
On the way home we stopped in the small town where Adam's Grandfather was buried.  It was a beautiful cemetery.  Side note: He was buried right next to James Kirk!  Silas fell asleep in the car so we weren't going to wake him up just for the picture in the cold snow!

a GIANT in their EYES

Every day I am so grateful that I married a wonderful man.  He is the kind of person I want my sons to be like.  He is a giant to them not only in size but in kindness, knoweledge, fun and more.

Spa Day

Seven years ago when I lived in a basement apartment, I would come home from church freezing cold every Sunday.  Adam found this foot bath and snagged it for me so I could soak my icy feet in it after church.  Last week, years after my freezing feet Sundays, we found it stowed away, brought it out and set it up for the boys.
 
They loved it!  And honestly, a big bowl of bubbling and vibrating warm water in the middle of the living room floor! What's not to like?

Sunday Morning

Every Sunday, as I get the kids ready for church,  I am amazed that I can change this...




... into this!

They are GREAT!

When Silas was a baby Kael pulled him in this same wagon, and now Kael is pulling Jayne!  Amazing how much kids grow up in 3 years.



3 YEARS AGO!!

Favorites

For christmas I was given an AWESOME new camera.  Here are a few of my favorite pictures taken of a few of my favorite people.  (Children make wonderful subjects: always around and frequently willing to pose!)
