Fun with Mailee!

We are so lucky to have Mailee staying with us this week while her mom and dad are still soaking up the sun!

Playing outside in the snow this morning. Cael has finally learned to love sledding!

Sharing a treat while watching cartoons. They set up their chairs...how cute!

Yes, kissing cousins! They were sooooo tired after playing hard all evening, I think they were alseep before their heads hit the pillow!

Roatan 2012

Here are just a few pictures from our trip to Roatan last week. We had a GREAT time...always fun to go but of course we missed the kiddos!

Fun group at Smugglers! Ezra had just got off work so he borrowed one of Michael's t-shirts...which he was very excited about! HA! For those of you who don't know...a few of the islanders have became great friends of our family and we enjoy spending time with them while we are there!

The view from our beach...





Well...I didn't actually catch this fish, but we went fishing with Kelcie and had these giant wahoo swarming our bait. He actually caught one the next day and this is the actual fish we had for supper that evening...delicious!

Michael reeling in his baracuda. He was exhausted!

Fun around the house...

Cael was working on his Valentine's and attaching the suckers...the next thing I knew he had so thoughtfully shared a sucker with his little sister! Now if this had been my first child, I would have freaked, but I realized that this was a nice gesture of sharing from Cael, so I let her enjoy her sucker for "a bit" before taking it away! and yes, she loved it!

This is how I found Elin napping one day...yikes! I wouldn't have been able to walk for a week if I slept like this!

Cael took the opportunity to surprise Michael by washing his jeep on one of our gorgeous January days!

Cael gave Elin dump truck rides for a good 30 minutes one evening. She loved it and so did he!

Bathtime Fun!

I have redone the kids' bathroom and have some frames ordered to put some bath pics in...so this is me trying to capture some fun bathtime smiles for my new frames!

The water has yellow coloring tablets in it...on purpose. I know it looks like pee...but I promise, it's not!

Soooooo Big! What a ham!
