Baron snow boarding

It kind of un real that Baron could do this. This was after about 3 mins of practice. And after about 10 more he was riding all the way down with no falls.

Amelia snow boarding

As you can see she has a way to go

Sledding / snowboarding

Nolan found a perfect place to go sledding and snowboarding. It is so steep it had a rope tied to help walk up the hill. It was so hard for me when I had to help the kids up. Both kids had so much fun. Even Amelia is feerless when it comes to things like this. It scared me it was so steep. But, both kids asked to go by themselves. Also, Baron mastered snowboarding. He even had a few runs better then the one I have on video. We are thinking about signing him up for skiing lessons either this year or next. We had such a fun afternoon. But, Nolan and I are both a little sore. Needless to say we were the only people there with little kids.

Snow Days

We have had so many snow days. I think a friend told me the public schools are at 14 days. Baron did not have school any last week. So frankly we have been inside A LOT and I hate it. We have done more crafts and baking. Last week I made cupcakes and let them pick there frosting color and then they decorated. Baron's looked pretty good. And he is doing excellent with helping me cook.

Also there is a picture of our new bird feeder which Nolan and the kids made together. We have a TON of birds and Nolan goes a lttle crazy with feeding them. Recently I have caught his giving them real food. Like fresh blueberries. I guess he has never priced those in Missouri in Jan.

Basketball

Baron is still doing Basketball, Ice skating, and we have him signed up for baseball again in the spring. So far I have to say watching basketabll is so much fun. He has improved every week. Last week he scored his first basket in a game....swoosh. He makes friends real easy and seem to be social. It's fun watching him listen to the coaches and see him improve. He is so excited as next week is his last game and they are having a pool/pizza party. And even his sister gets to go. What a nice league for little kids.

Bikes

A few weeks ago we had a "warm" day. Yes like 40 and still snow on the ground. But, the kids enjoyed getting their bikes out. Amelia got to practice with her glider the first time. And even though Baron rides a big bike with no training wheels. He loves his glider ( which he says he uses for stunts). Great as he was jumping his bike off the snow piles> Not sure what I am going to have in store with these 2 kiddos.

Bob The Builder

A few weeks ago we went with our friends to the brand new exhibit at the Magic House. It was the first day open and just for members. We also went out to lunch with our Friends. And the coolest things is Baron and Nathan discovered a hidden area that has a secret slide in it. Since it's real high and dark you have to be five to do. Nathan is five and they did not really question Baron. So they must of done it 20 times. What a blast the 2 big boys had together.
