her little corner

This desk has now become Issabelle's corner where she can write and create when she wants. She loves to tape and make paper airplanes as she calls them. Here she was busy making one and using her new name stamp. She also was still in her pj's, with an extra layer of pants to keep warm.

lunch with some organizing

Issabelle and I had to go out to do some errands. Along the way we stopped to get a bite to eat. Then we headed to Joanne's where she proceeded to organize all the bins of the stuffed animals. She didn't want to leave until she had done them all. If only her persistence and organizing would continue at home...

super skier

This is my sweet 3 year old on her birthday skiing and taking a break for lunch. We had a great day with perfect weather.

My most amazing man wearing his hat I finally finished! 

early february days

Landon injured himself while skiing on January 31st. Since then we have been pretty much staying put, hanging out and just doing at home. There's been lots of lego building and some valentines making. We've been working hard on our studies and having fun with lots of science at the moment. Most of William's work is independent and he does much at night. Teenager! He has also had to work a few days and archery once a week. Those are the days we venture out and do errands.  Plus we have been getting quite a bit of snow this February, which is already half over. Crazy!
Happy Weekend!

winter storm fun

We got a ton of snow over the past several days! It has been lots of fun outside sledding and having races. Missing in action is Landon as he has hurt his foot and is just taking it easy trying to recover.

3 years

We had a pretty awesome day celebrating our sweet girl.

It started with presents from her brothers. Harkin was so excited to "read" the book to her and help with the numbers. He's an expert, you know.
Then Landon came in with his. Issabelle was so very grateful to him, giving big hugs. It was all so loving. William waited until the afternoon to give his. She was so happy to have a new sticker book!

She wanted to go skiing so that's what we did. (pictures coming soon) The weather was beautiful. Sunny skies and temps in the 20's. We did jumps and trees and worked on our turns. She was so excited to have all of her brothers there.

We wrapped up around 3:00, came home and opened more presents and then had a breakfast dinner and chocolate cake. As you can see from one of her presents she loves bacon and eggs and that is what was what we made, with potatoes too. She is a good eater this one.

Then she ran around crazy with her new skirt on, played with some of her new toys for a bit and then crashed pretty hard. It was a fun day and can't believe it is already 3 years. Time is slipping away but I am trying to hold onto each moment every day.
