Somehow I have seriously gotten behind in the Blog department. Before I knew it January was over, and then February and I haven't been updating like I should have been. It has been nagging me and I am finally giving into the nagging by sitting down to do a major catch up on what we have been up to.
During Christmas break it snowed quite a bit and we took the opportunity to take the kids out sledding. We never know how long the snow will stick around or when it will snow again so we had to take advantage of the day. It happened to be freezing cold temperature wise, it was probably below zero, but we didn't let that stop our fun. By now Parker is a sledding pro and immediately jumped on the sled and was down the hill before the rest of us were even fully dressed in our snow clothes. He probably went up and down the hill 30 times! Paxten was a little hesitant, but decided it was very fun after the first few rides down the hill. At one point we sent him down the hill by himself (the hill is not very big) after Paige had gone on another sled. She had tipped over and was laying in the snow when Paxten's sled started heading straight for her. We yelled for her to get out of the way, but she wasn't quick enough and his sled ran right over the top of her face, causing him to face plant and her to get a face full of snow as well. They both got up and laughed it off and went for another ride down the hill. Although it wasn't long after that they both got cold and wanted to call it quits. We had such a fun time enjoying the outdoors and being together as a family. I love that we live in Idaho and can enjoy the snow in the Winter, the sun in the summer and the beautiful weather the entire year round. Our kids are lucky too, to be able to have these fun experiences as they are growing up.
