Fire Station

Yesterday we went to the Fire station for playgroup. They really went all out to give us a good tour and let the kids play with everything. It took Brandon a bit to warm up, but by the end he wa having a lot of fun. Here is Brandon using the hose. I got to try it too, I was the only mom who treid and it was really fun.

They pulled out the truck and raised the ladder. Then he climbed to the top.

Brandon in one of the trucks. They let him turn on the lights and he though that was so cool.

Here is brandon trying out the Jaws of life. He got to crush a pop can and thought it was pretty funny.

Here is Kyle having a blast.

Here are the kids in an Ambulance. They let the kids see their hearbeats on the monitor.
We all had a good time and the kids had fun learning about the firemen.

Here are the kids enjoying all the snow we got

Here is a view into our backyard and all of our trails we make. Jeff and I really have a good time going snowshoing around the lake.

Basketball

We put the kids in Basketball this year. They have had a few practices, and they have their first game next Saturday. They both love it, and it's so fun to watch them since they have never played, and it will be interesting to see how they are at the end of the season.

Our sledding hill

We have this really cool sledding hill on the other side of the dam. The kids love to go there and sled and play in the snow. Most of the time though they just had a really good time going down on their butts. It was pretty funny!

Durango Mountain resort

Last Saturday I went skiing with a friend. It was my first time in 9 years. I was actually a little scared to try it again, but once I got going I had a blast. I hope I can go a few more times this season.

Since Matthew has no school tomorrow and Jeff has no work I guess we will spend the day playing in it all day.

Each day you are learning more and more. You like to try and roll away when ever you are getting dressed or a diaper change you think you are so funny. When I am changing your diaper your legs are always in a little frog position still and you alway wrap your legs around my arm it's funny. You love to get into my drawers and take everything out for some reason you really like the cups and maccaroni and cheese. You are just a little ball of fun and I love that you are so little and such a mama's boy. Love you kyle!
