My Snowboarder

Mimmie and Popsy got John this new snowboard on Monday and today we had snow so he was able to use it. This is his first time on a snowboard and it is just a play/practice one but still for his first time I thought his balance was really good.

Pajama Day

This boy was ready for pajama day!!

The Mess/House

John asks everyday if he can make "the mess" and Clara asks if she can make "the house." Two different names for the same thing. All the pillows come off the house for building of a castle, maze, fort, house, fill in the blank. It is cold so we have to have a way to get out the energy and the indoor jungle gym it is.

G.I. John

John

This boy is always full of adventure. Spiderman out to shoot his bow and arrows.

Making snowangels.

Proud of those snowangels.

Making a tower with the pillows on the couch.

Around the House

Cracking up at these two superheroes!! They have moved the couch everyday to build a fort behind it. When it is cold and snowy outside, you have to get some energy out.

Have to have a bandaid for a bump on the head.

Taking care of baby.

Clara and baby both with a paci.

Toccoa Tough

Here is an article I thought some of you would enjoy reading. Burt is quoted in it about their Toccoa Tough program.

A Little Target Practice

These are especially for daddy. I know getting John a bb gun was exciting for him because he is all about his boy being "Wild at Heart."

John taking aim. He looks like such a little bandit here.

The pups ready to play with the kiddos out in the snow.

Bay, Clara, and Lily kept the dogs entertained while John took his turn shooting.

John and Grandad.

Clara and Aunt Jill

John at it again.

John and his pup (yes, it looks like the gun is aimed at John but he was actually back.) Think this could be one of Daddy's favorites with the yellow pup and his boy in the snow.

You know Lily wasn't gong to let the boys have anything on her. I think she ended up shooting more than anyone.

Snowsledding

I don't know if there was anything better than snowsledding on the day after Christmas out at Nanny's farm. It was so cold but the kids had a blast, oh and Grandad too! Grandad going down the hill. Baylor getting ready to head down.

Lily and Clara headed down the hill.

Clara fell off and wasn't too happy.

Grandad to save the day.

Uncle Andy ready to blast John off.

Down he goes.

For Daddy - Nanny flying her American and 101st flags.

Oh, the joy of squeaky shoes from Grammy and Grandad :)
