Sledding and Snowshoeing

It's really nice having Mom and Dana here and we just got done with a really long day. We met at Mc Donalds this morning for breakfast and then headed up to Mt Baker for some sledding. After that, Mom and Bethany headed down with all of the kids, while Calvin, Leshia, Dana, and I did some snowshoeing. Finally we came back to our place for pizza and cake for a Dwight/Leshia/Cameron/Nikki birthday party.

We did get a new rig (96 Land Cruiser). Leshia's van's transmission went out last week and it isn't worth fixing.

Renting a couple more pairs of snow shoes. The fence at the ski shop is made of old skis.

You can't make me smile!

Calvin and Thomas

Looking at pics on the computer.

The kids at a church league bball game. Calvin and I play with the URC (with Dell and a few others that used to go to our church).

Mom made Leshia a birthday cake

Calvin and Bethany are currently working on finishing their toy room. This is the start of a fort.

Christmas Presents Again!- This time with Grandma

Nikki got an apron and a kitten that purrs and moves (and a bunch of other stuff!)

These two get along pretty well.

Trying out a new game.

The kids all got a backpack containing a flashlight and a sleeping bag.

Christmas with Calvin and Bethany

Our kids exchanged Christmas gifts on New Years day. Just a couple of pics from then.

Did you miss her?

While you guys in the Midwest are having some pretty cold weather, ours just turned nice. Sunny and around 50 for the past week. The kids are playing outside and Calvin and I played tennis yesterday. It feels like spring, but I am sure we will get some more cold weather since it is only January. Looking forward to seeing Mom and Dana later this week!
