month of January

January was a cold month with alot of snow. The top picture is actually when mama was about 32 weeks pregnant. Matt is so excited about santa that even in the bathtub he proudly makes his santa beard with bubbles... Ben is usually quick to follow. The boys are starting to play together on the swings and with the trains in the playroom. Ben is still a bit young so we still have to watch pretty closely when they play together!!! The picture with the boys watching their bedtime movie ... look close, papa is underneath the two !!! Yesterday we took the kids to the wellness center and they tried bowling for the first time!!! They even had bowling shoes to fit Ben. It was alot of fun. The dinner that followed was pretty fancy and the kids all had fun at the medical staff family fun day. Here is a picture from today with me reading a story with the boys... all 3 of them!!! I am now 34 weeks and we are counting down the days until our baby arrives.

jan5th and 6th weekend in the snow

What a great weekend we have had. Papa was off this weekend so on saturday we went sledding...twice. Here we went to Kinkora to visit with some friends on their own groomed trails. Mason (aged 3) even let papa and Matt try his snowmobile out!!! After a really fun and exhausting day we woke up early and after church went with Auntie Heather and Megan and Gramma to Mill river to go tubing. As you can see, Matt and Ben (as well as all of us) went on the tubes. They were fast and really fun. Ben even went alone!!! (We were there to catch him at the bottom of course). Gramma then served some yummy lasagna.. what a day. The forecast is for 8 degrees for the next few days, we hope the snow does not all melt away.

Lots of snow!!!!

So it is winter here. Our play ground is more than full of snow as you can see!!! This is a snowy picture of our backyard. We decided to go sledding today and ended up in the parking lot of the highschool here in Kensington... there was enough of a snow pile for us all to have fun. The Younkers joined us and as you can see we all went down the snow pile several times... yee haw!!! We are supposedly going sledding again after nap time... we will see.
