SNOW much fun!

I was supposed to be here this weekend

with some good friends from church on a women's retreat, but it snowed in East Tennessee and the retreat to Pigeon Forge was rescheduled for March. So this is what I ended up doing.

Saturday afternoon, we got Riley and Ethan all bundled up

and took them sledding!

We went to a nearby hill and borrowed our friends' sleds. We all had a great time! Riley and I had also been out earlier while Ethan was napping. Riley had so much fun sledding with his friend, Eva!

We got about 8 inches of snow early Saturday morning. The snow was perfect for sledding because it was hard and crunchy.

We all had a great time playing in the snow! I was disappointed that my trip got canceled but I'm glad I was able to play with my boys in the snow!!

Ethan's First Haircut

Ethan's hair has needed a hair cut for awhile now and I've been putting it off. It just was so cute!

Wednesday, I finally gave in and took him to a hair salon to have it trimmed.

He was such a good boy while Susan was cutting his har.

Ethan liked it!

Ta Da! No, she didn't cut much but at least its not in his eyes anymore.

What a handsome little boy!

Hands on museum

This past weekend we had my dad and stepmom come visit us. My dad just retired, so now he can come visit us anytime and we love it!!! On Friday afternoon we all went to the Hands On Museum.

The theme right now is "Treasure." Riley and my dad enjoy using metal dectectors to look for burried treasure in the sand.

Riley and Ethan with Big Daddy and Dee Dee

Riley and Big Dad had fun shooting cannon balls at ships in the ocean.

The boys had fun shopping the grocery store.

My little space cadets.

Ethan loved playing on the playground, now that he can walk.

We had a great time with them and we are looking forward to them visiting more often.

Ethan's first time in the snow

We have been cooped up inside the house for weeks now. It has been so cold this month and we've had snow on the ground for 11 days straight. So yesterday I bundled the kids up and we went for a walk. Riley and Ethan loved being outside.

Ethan has decided he's a "big boy" and he wanted to push his car himself.

Then we went to the backyard to play. This was the first time Ethan has played or touched the snow.

Then he decided he wanted to try to climb up the slide.

He did a lot of crawling in the snow.

Riley and I also made snow angels.

The snow has been pretty but its finally starting to melt. I have a feeling we may be in store for a very cold winter.
