Water Park Weekend

January 21st - 23rd...

We went on our annual winter water park trip with 9 other families to Arrowwood Resort in Alexandria. I'll let the pictures tell the story...

The breakfast crew Friday morning before we left...

On the road... Chloe fell asleep right away. We realized that we can fit a lot of stuff in our minivan!


Morgan's first ride in the convertible car seat. She loved being able to sit up and see!

In the hotel room... we had a deck with a view of the lake.

The Lazy River was a hit, as usual...


Chloe didn't quite understand the "NO Running" rule...

Moe Moe loved her floatie... thanks to the Ashlyn for sharing :)


We found out they had free life jackets for the kids... bonus!

One of my favorites pics from the trip... can't tell these two are related! ;)




Miss MaKenna

Love those big blue eyes!

Morgan fell asleep in the pool. We even had a stranger ask to take a picture of her!


Me with my babies...

The 5 of us...
One of Morgan's favorites... the fountains.

She flap her arms and try to "eat" the water...



Go figure... Chloe fell asleep!

Jared had lots of fun in the arcade...


"Where are you going, MaKenna?"

Chloe would lay back, put her head on our shoulder and sing songs... too cute.
Another favorite... the lilly pads.
Blake, Mark and Cole Voges

Hi, Blake!


Chloe had to check them out too...

Some of our group in the Lazy River...

Keith was trying to get a picture of Jared coming out of the waterslide but all I had were pictures of the tube opening... no Jared. But he did get this cute pic of him climbing out of the water.

More running in the fountains...

Not a cute pic of me but we were having so much fun in that tube!

Jared was showing off his skills while Morgan was a bit cranky in the background.

One last picture in the waterpark... time to go home =(

The girls slept and Jared watched Transformers... probably for like the 100th time.

Tummy Time

Sunday, January 16th...

Morgan was having fun playing on her tummy so I had a snap a few pics. She loves playing on her tummy... she swivels around to grab whatever is in reach. She is such a happy baby!

Engagement News!

Sunday, January 16th...


Ryan and Chelsey announced their engagement!!! They surprised everyone at the usual Sunday Brunch at the Farm. The kids were pretty excited to have ANOTHER uncle! =) We're very excited for them too. As of right now, they are planning for the wedding some time in 2012. They have lots of time to get everything lined up.


Later in the day we had a surprise visit from them at our house. Jared has been bugging Ryan for a ride on his new snowmobile so they rode it over to our place. Jared was SUPER excited!



Ryan & Jared...







Keith is on the left on his "old" sled. It works just fine for what we use it for.






Of course, they had to pop the hood and take a look at the engine. Chelsey is on the right. I love how Jared gets right in there with the big boys. Future motor-head in training. =)

Getting organized

Saturday, January 15th...

I finally took a few hours to get most of Jared's old clothes organized and put into boxes. I have everything he's ever worn so you can just about imagine the mountain of clothes we had. Keith informed me that we are going to have a garage sale this Spring because we have WAY too much crap! I have to agree... there is so much stuff that we just tuck away thinking it might come in handy at some point but never does.

I had to pile everything on top of the bar because Chloe has a thing for unpacking boxes... she's the exact opposite of "mommy's helper"!
Then she realized she could climb up the bar stools all by herself. We added Morgan to the mess to snap a quick pic because it was so much fun up there.
What is it about boxes that is so much fun?!
