some serious fun...

what better way to spend a day off school...than hanging out at the tube park? We all had WAY too much fun!!!

Happy Valentine's Day

Just had to share my special loves! Here are the cards that Keaton and Griffin are giving out at school...and just a photo of my Parker, as this year, he's offically too cool to give out Valentines!

A year ago...

I can't believe it's been a year...it still seems so real, and so raw. A year ago today, my friend Sheye lost her precious little girl Ava...a year ago today...how can it be.

Please, hug your babies tight today, tell those who matter to you how much you love them...don't take a single moment for granted...

My prayers are with you today Sheye and Crayton...and your beautiful super princess will NEVER be forgotten...

Keats & Mom's Photo Date...

My middle son Keaton is getting more and more interested in phtoography, which is so exciting to me! Yesterday, he was needing a little one on one time, so we headed out (in -15 celsius weather), and had a photo date! We were going for a few different looks - and I feel like we totally achieved what we were trying to...and had a blast while we were doing it! We stopped for lunch, and then when we were all finished, headed to a funky little coffee shop for a hot chocolate and a latte...really, a perfect day!

The photo of me was taken by Keaton, with his Fuji point & shoot camera...he was so proud of himself!

Future Olympians...

I'm just so proud of Parker & Keaton - they had their big swim meet on the weekend - and they did AMAZING! The both got best times in every single race they were in - and, in their age categories, have placings of first/second/and a few thirds in every race...they did very, very well! The meet was great - it made for some fun photo ops as well!

Some Winter Fun!

We had a great day out at the cabin...kind of a winter picnic! Lots of friends, the most beautiful weather...EVER - it was perfect!

post Christmas fun...

We seem to be spending alot of time outdoors! On Boxing Day, we went ice fishing in the Biffert's famous pond - the biggest fish caught (by Tori) was close to six and a half pounds! Then today, we spent some time out at our cabin, getting it ready for the big outdoor picnic we'll be having there tomorrow...
