Ice Sledding

I took the kids to the Ice Park today. It was a lot of fun and the perfect time to go, since most people don't know it's open yet. Jadon absolutely loved it and said nothing but "more, more, more" the entire time we were there. Jace on the other hand insisted on going down without a sled and walked around with a grumpy face the whole time. But of course, me being the mean mama that I am, I made Jace ride down with me in a sled. When Grandma asked him if he had fun, he cried "yeeeeesss", as if it was the most painful thing he had ever been through. But my theory on life is, almost everything is worth trying once, because if you don't, you'll never know what you could be missing out on. Overall it was a great, warm, beautiful day out with the kids and friends!

Sibling love

The boys spend a lot of time playing with the babies, which is a huge help to me! They are all so cute together and spend most of their time together laughing like crazy.

The Racing Taggers

The boys favorite things to do these days is play tag and race bikes on the deck. They just run and run and run laps around the kitchen island and expect you to do it as long as they do! That's when it hits me that I am getting old. They always say "mama run!" or growl at me since that's what I do when I chase them.

Babies first Super Bowl Party

Every year we go to our friends annual Super Bowl Party. They've been having one for about 30 years now and it's a blast! There's crazy amounts of food, beer, TVs and more food! Lots of people and kids running wild. Not to mention the noise level is surprisingly louder than my house usually is. Plus there are $2, $5, $10 & $20 boards, none of which we won on tonight and spent a good amount of money on.....but we won't highlight on that since we had a great time and the game was great this year by the way! The kids did very well though and the babies are finally getting into the groove of being a part of our family. We are the kind of parents that take our kids almost everywhere, even when it would be easier to just give in to their crying and protesting of not wanting to sleep somewhere unfamiliar. But tonight they made it easy on us and went right to sleep. Here are a few pics of the babies first Super Bowl and the boys 3rd.....
