What a great week!
Lots of snow to play in! Ray surprised us! Nesting was in full swing & new furniture was set up!
And the week ended with a great win by our fave team, 2nd birthday festivities for Allen & no school thanks to MLK Jr!

Snow lover!


 Bros enjoying the snow.


 Love when we get new ideas for healthier snacks! These are Hannah approved!
 Costco is so dangerous. Go there for a thing or two, come back with 2 truck loads.
 Our cozy bed is now perfect for Hannah & Hudson.
 Loved this reminder on the gym room walls in my school.


 Friday night after a Thursday full of moving and bed building, we needed to treat Grandpa Ray who is so super strong and super handy, to a delish authentic Mexican meal by Matt's work. This was a new to us spot & we highly recommend!


 Me bundled up on the recliner, watching our fave police show. Live PD & a safari tea party going on with little man.

 Woke up to pretty snow! A few inches made it sledding time!
 How perfect is this hill? And behind it.. Menards... to rescue our sled-less selves! Hooray!

 Cold toes & Rosy cheeks!
 Later that day, Hudson fell asleep in the van, so the oldest two got some new hill adventures solo!
 Although our friend Rach did not win, how awful and disappointing to lose by a dislocated arm, we loved cheering her on!!! She is my old boss's daughter from Waianae Hawaii!
Making it big leagues in NYC! SO proud of her!And her sweet sweet mom in the background!



 Sundays are often extra hard on Hudson. But he napped away his craziness & woke up ready to celebrate Allen!
 So cute!
 Matt is totally carefree about football, if you couldn't tell ... the rest of us almost woke up the baby.



 Ann Voskamp.. on point like normal.
 Monday Funday!

 My face when Matt wants more toys. Dirtbikes times 2 and fourwheeler times 2. Dream on dreamer.
Trying to look beastmode. We are prepping for a big nerf war with some church friends soon. 


 So once a quarter the kids get to try to say 6-12 verses at once, to earn some moola. It's a fun incentive for them to keep God's word memorized! But we do a horrible job of learning them each week. So we have 6 days. The cramming has begun! We got this!
 Of course my 5pm Ultra Sound appt was not on time, so I had time to "window" shop online! This kissy set is oh so sweet! Finding new brands and new trends is oh so overwhelming but super fun too! Ultrasound news: It is still a girl :) And she is healthy and all looks great! So thankful! 🙏

Happy New Year from my cutest class. Thank you Aldi for your class set of 2019 party gear for $1. (And our two kiddos who were blessed with no school Monday after break.) 
Thankful for a patient and sacrificial Mimi, who gives up her free time to share memories with our kids and on this day... Big H, who is over playing with 5 year olds all day :)
Mall date and Cinnabon!
And bless my mom's brave, good sport self for going public like a jack o lantern! Her implant date is quickly approaching. I think we will miss giving her grief over it ;)
 Hudson and his neighbor friend waiting for the bus

 Thankful for a nail date to help us ease back into the work week grind.
 This is our current project. Maybe next Christmas we will heed the age appropriateness 😒

Thankful for cute inspo for me to think about! Loving the 2nd tri and I forget sweet baby H is growing inside! Level 2 Ultra Sound next Monday, so I will get confirmation that she is a she. Still doubtful... 🙈



 Give me all things tropical for this babe! 

 Thankful for such a great & supportive village that takes amazing care of our tribe. Hudson has made such awesome leaps and bounds, but still has many areas to work on. Getting a call from the Principal is never the best, but because Hudson is a frequent flyer, and because they have an amazingly positive spin on their corrective methods, he adores them. I am so thankful that they use kid friendly tools like games and videos to help him remember his kind words & safe hands. I knew that a night at home with his beloved dog, Max and Mom snuggles would do the trick.
 This boy is all sorts of adorable and yes I missed Fusion with the most intense game of Spoons EVER... insert all the pity party for momma here ;), butttt we both got some early to bed zzzs and lots of love.
 Thankful to wake up to... SNOW!! How fun to get a pretty dusting!




 So excited to play outside!

 Cutest snowlady you ever did see!

 Thankful for the gift that keeps giving! Mimi's horse lesson gift from over 2 years ago is still active! Hannah loved riding Monty!



3 wake ups & then a 3 day weekend!
