Our little life: February 2013

Catching up..... Getting our Christmas Tree

Last year, we look the boys and cut down our Christmas tree. Since last year, Preston has looked out our windows and said that when the mountain have snow again, we will have to go and get our Christmas tree. So once again, we ventured out in the snow to get our tree and we had a great time. Kelvin rode in the backpack and we pulled Preston on the sled. After finding our tree, Dallas loves to help dig out the snow and then he pulls the tree back to the truck, which is quite helpful! After we loaded our tree, we spent a little time sledding. Despite the cold weather, Preston would have stayed for a lot longer, but everyone else was ready to get in the warm truck!

Lots of snow to play on!

Saying cheese for the camera

It was too difficult to get both boys looking at the camera at the same time.... They were too busy:)

Catching up.... Leslie's shower

In December, we (my sister and I) hosted a shower for my fabulous sister-in-law, Leslie. She is due in just a few short weeks and we cannot wait to meet this little one. We had such a wonderful time visiting with everyone and seeing all the wonderful gifts that people brought for Leslie!

Leslie... she always looks so cute!

Catching up..... November

In November, we had fun playing in leaves, watching Kelvin crawls super-fast and stand more, having my sister come and stay with us, and we had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

One of our favorite games to play.... one person hides under the laundry basket (notice Preston under there) and then they proceed to poke each other. Usually Kelvin is under and both boys shriek in delight when they play.

Fun in the leaves

Kelvin thought climbing was fun, even though he could not walk yet!

Catching Up..... October

Since I neglected the blog for the past five month, I figured I would go back and at lease give a little summary of each month. These pictures are from October and it was a great month. At the beginning of the month, we went on our last camping trip of 2012 at Harris Park, which was a blast. The boys loved being outside and playing in the grassy fields. It was a little chilly, but tons of fun. We also went on our annual beach trip with Carl's family. We had a fabulous time in Waldport with everyone! And of course, we had a fun Halloween. Even today, Preston was telling us that Valentine's Day is almost here and then after that, we will get to have Halloween again!
