Here's sarah in action after breaking open the pinata at a friend's birthday party!

Bouncy Johnny Video

Our little man loves his bouncy seat/activity center thing... Click on this picture for a video! (Sarah was playing right next to him, so that's why you'll hear some funny sounds, etc.)

Wintery Scene

Yesterday it was in the 60s and sunny. Today it is in the 30s and Snowy. Tomorrow will be in the 60s and sunny...
Here's a pic taken of the snow falling on our seasonal stream out the back yard. It has been so warm recently that all the (many feet of) snow we had has melted quickly.

Here's the same picture a couple hours later...

messy, messy, messy

So Johnny is not quite as neat an eater as Sarah. Here he is eating his dinner of rice cereal and avocado. Every time you get the spoon near his mouth, both hands come up to "help" get half the food into his mouth, and half onto his face, hair, ears, etc...

Swinging in the sun!

At the park yesterday - Upper 60's and sunny. Sarah enjoys the swings and throwing rocks into the stream in the background. You can see that Johnny was hanging out as well (his little feet sticking out of the stroller).
This was another shot from my phone's camera, which is why the image quality is so bad...

Sarah-ism

No pictures today, but I was just reminded of something Sarah said recently. The TV was on in the background while she was playing with her toys and an Army commercial came on. It said "There' s strong, then there's Army strong." Sarah immediately recited "There's strong, then there's BARBIE strong." I couldn't stop laughing!

So here we are at the first weekend in March. It kinda came in like a lion as we got about 8 inches of new snow at the beginning of the week along with crazy strong winds. Of course, this week it's supposed to be in the mid to upper 50's every day! Sarah still loves it when we get new snow and Johnny is having fun turning 5 months, as you can see from these pics...

Even I was able to get outside and have some fun last week. Here's a photo of my buddy, Chris, and I at the summit of our ice climbing day on Mt. Lincoln. We had great weather and the ice was in fantastic shape!










And, finally, here's what happens when your hottub springs a leak mid winter... (those are huge columns of ice that have been forming over the last couple of weeks!)
