Making Memories

We have had all kinds of weather this February.  We spent the day at the park.  It was a beautiful winter day.  The sun was shining and the weather was very comfortable.  All the kids had a great time on the playground!
A few days later, we had snow flurries!  It was the first time Hudson had seen it.  I told the kids to try and catch them...Hudson didn't quite get it the first time around, but then caught on quickly that we wanted him to stick his tongue out :)
Silly faces with Auntie Em!!
We went bowling with Emily and Grandmommy.
Regan bowled over 100 for the first time.  Good job, Regan!
A little mustache action
Guess who got her ears pierced!!  She loves them!
She especially liked getting to pick out a pair of earrings to take back with us.
Someone has become an expert with the selfies.  He has also filled up all of the memory on the phone on more than one occasion with pictures and videos of himself.  I can't complain though :)
I had some happy kiddos because they got to see their best friends!  I am so thankful that they were able to drive over for a weekend visit!  Regan and Kayla (11 yrs, 5th grade) and Katherine (7 yrs, 1st grade) Oh and Sunny the dog trying to get in the picture.
My other roomie, Carrie, also drove over the same weekend. I was happy to finally get to meet her kids.  All the kids had such a good time together and we had our own little Valentine's party...13 kids between the 3 of us!
The girls also planned a surprise party for Jenny.  It was so sweet.  I also got to keep my reputation with the Moore kids for cutting big pieces of cake :)
Someone looks like his Granddad!!
Benjamin and Daniel having fun outside in the cold
Lauren making a snow angel...well, I guess it's actually a sleet angel.  She wanted to have Daddy's hat covering her face so that it wasn't getting in her eyes.
They had so much fun playing in the sleet, but man they got wet quickly!  They had to come in every few minutes to dry off and change clothes.
Here is Regan's snowman made of sleet.  That night we had freezing rain/ice.  This snowman was not budging from the car (and neither was the fort that they built in the driveway...SOLID ICE!
Hudson enjoyed exploring the snow.
Katherine enjoyed hunting for icicles .
This little guy got his first set of glasses!!  He is such a cutie!  He loves them. I guess when your first pair of glasses is a prescription of -2.50 in both eyes you are happy to see clearly!
My kids also got to go sledding for the first time (with this kind of sled).  Last time we were in the States they used a trash can lid, but every kid needs to learn to sled this way, too.
Can you guess what his favorite animal is???
