Last month we attended a dog sled race - something I have always wanted to do. It was such a cool experience to see all the dogs running so hard and fast. It was beautiful. I wanted to go buy some dogs and start racing.
The kids were excited and shy to meet the Husky. Parker was so nervous and didn't know what to do when he picked him up for the picture.
Not only did we find a husky but we found these M&M ice sculptures. The kids were so excited. Probably more about the M&Ms than the dog races.
Another highlight of the day was a big snow hill.
Peyton got a rainbow and a horse on her arm. She was so excited about it and didn't hardly even move the whole ride home. She did not want anything to mess it up.
Parker wanted to have Spiderman just like Gabe. I loved that the artist gave them each a little different Spiderman so no one would be sad.
MaKyra chose the butterfly. I thought it turned out so cute. She even had sparkles all over it.
Gabe also had Spiderman. He had his first and Parker followed. Gabe wasn't thrilled to both be Spiderman but he was okay when he saw they were different.
I just want to take the home and hold them. So so sweet. The kids loved them too. Peyton was asleep so she didn't see them but the other kids adored those lambs and didn't want to leave.
The only way to finish the day was to head to Big Judd's. By accident I captured Kyra's hamburger sitting next to our Big Judd hamburger. One pound hamburger on a huge bun. Yum, yum! If you eat the whole thing by yourself you get your picture on a wall. Matt has never done it - but I have. Back in my college years I ate a Big Judd - my claim to fame. This time though Matt, me and Peyton ate it. Gabe and Parker ate too - chicken nuggets.
Her face is so red because she had been crying loud & long. 
I think it was a hit! I loved doing it. I have such great friends that help a ton! 
So much fun - can't wait to do it next year. 
Gabe came home with a bag full of valentine's and one on his eye. For the valentine's in his class, they made them in class and wrote compliments on them. It was fun to read what other kids said about him. Mostly he is funny and strong. I think it was a great assessment. 
MaKyra's party was also great. Her teacher told her they weren't having a party and then gave a smile. I told MaKyra that meant they were but she said, "No, my teacher said we weren't." Her teacher sure tricked her when she really did have a party. Needless to say our Valentine's Day was a blast.
He was so proud of himself for hanging upside down on the rings. He is very strong.
The kids had a movie night on my bed last week and as you can see they were loving it. 
The kids had so much fun making and decorating the cookies. Parker got his apron on and exclaimed, "I'm ready to cook!"
