Last Saturday we went to the wedding reception for my good friend Jillayne and her husband Tim. Isn't she a beautiful bride?



Some pictures of the kids -- Kylie enjoying the chocolate from the chocolate fountain

both kids; dark but still a cute picture

Nolan being silly - like normal


me and my man

digging dinosaurs and setting traps

I buried dinosaurs for Nolan and Grant so they could dig them up like the scientists.

Then after they found them all, they wanted to bury them again.

Then they decided to set some traps to try to catch some robins.

Of course, they needed some bird seed for their traps...

new age Princess and the Pea

today's play

cowboys

and indians

and a medicine woman

tag, tongues, tremendous fun

Excuse the bad pictures but it's hard to take pictures of kids who aren't standing still.

The kids were playing tag and chasing each other around the room. I noticed that they had their tongues sticking out too. :)

How we spent our day (Tuesday). Actually it was only about 30 minutes for us girls because it was so cold and windy out. The boys lasted just over an hour. The wind was blowing so hard that the snow hurt when it hit your face.

eating "ice cubes" as Ayla called them

making a pile of snow and then throwing "snowballs".
They weren't really snowballs since the snow was all fluff

ice on the driveway.
I thought it was neat how it was pock marked
