Winters in Montana can be brutally cold (most of February was in the negatives) so we have been trying to continue to keep busy and have fun along the way.
Kenzie had a girls' night with Kamree and they texted this fun dance party video of the kids having a blast!
For a joint mutual activity the youth were tied together and had to help/work as a team to build their own banana splits...it was entertaining!
It is still mind blowing that I have two kids old enough to be in mutual, they enjoy this time each week.
Gavin tags along with me and got to have his own banana split with Brooklyn.
All of the kids took turns getting eye exams. Payton already has a slight prescription for reading and that is about it. The kids all thought going to the eye doctor was pretty fun.
Gavin feels rather happy when we go through his clothes to transition into his dresser and low and behold we find Boise State gear. He gets eager to show Daddy
Mckay- busting out the snow blower to take care of some of our driveway!
Crazy winters.
Nothing a nice warm bath can't cure thought, right!!?
The boys slipped in their swimming suits after haircuts and had a fun time in the jetted tub.
I was going through some old emails and ran into a couple adorable pictures of Brielle as a witch when she was so tiny.
Made me sentimental at how fast the kids are growing and changing...sigh!
McKenzie was so little with a mommy and me preschool group as well. (She is dressed up in the purple dress...so cute!)
Gavin was being funny after a snack.
All geared up to try to shovel so I could even get out of our driveway and take the boys to a basketball game later that day.
While running errands in Great Falls, Gavin and I stopped in at Panda Express. I cherish moments with him like this!
Taylor wearing a nice mustache at a pack meeting. He is a hard worker and focused kid.
It is fun to have Grandma in charge and she does a lot of fun activities for these boys.
Gavin was having a blast at a church play date when one of the fun moms brought a small bounce house! It was a hit!!
Payton's turn to have a buddy over-Eli. Payton made popcorn, one of our favorite snacks.
Then they played a couple of games of UNO Attack.
They had a good time and I can almost still hear their giggles.
The snow was so deep on our roof. Mckay spent part of a Saturday shoveling the snow off and their was still a ton.
The kids make the most of it though and had built a sweet cave.
Siblings are the best!
Hat day for Brielle.
Having a good time playing in the snow.
Burr!
A nacho bar with hot chocolate to warm them up.
Taylor and Gavin tend to look a lot alike.
For preschool we worked on the letter H and decided to have crazy Hair. Gavin was a little unsure about styling his hair this way!
Then we finger painted.
It has been fun learning this year.
Taylor is in the front left, celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday.
Kenzie was helping with the birthday as well.

There are many things I enjoy about our school.
Having the older kids mentor and help with the younger kids is one of those things.
A friend asked us to feed and water their horses while they were away at basketball tournaments. The kids enjoyed watching and helping in this chore.
It is fun running errands with my little buddy.
Gavin has enjoyed learning this year and has been a little sponge taking in all sorts of information.
I think it is adorable when he focuses on his work and tries his hardest.
He really likes when it is snack time during preschool!
That was a blast of pictures and activities during our winter months, keeping busy during tax season always helps it go by faster!
