On Wednesday we had a blue-sky day and we couldn’t stand to stay in the house any longer so we loaded up the Suburban and headed up to the park for a bit…
Stunning mountains….
Playing in the snow…
Beautiful crescent moon with the stars starting to appear and the sunset starting to fade…
Our family had such a great time a couple weekends ago, hunting Christmas trees and hanging out with some friends of ours while enjoying the snow…
Tug-of-war…
Sled rides…
Playing in the snow…
Looking and searching for that special tree…

Loading the tree up…
The beautiful misty, foggy sunset in the forest that evening…
Awesome day spent with great friends…
The kids found several of these little frogs in a lake we visited this summer. Â They had so much fun trying to spot them in the water among the rocks and found over 10 separate frogs….

So proud of this girl!
Her graduation gift!

Getting pointers from her brother…
How can this freckle-faced little girl be graduating?
We love you and are so very proud of you, sweetie!
Is already 4 years old!
Her birthday celebration was complete with rainbow cake made specially for her by her most favoritest person, Sammy!
It is so hard to believe that 4 years have already passed us by and Emma is now 4 years old.  It is just amazing how quickly it passes!  Here are few pictures of her first days.  The first couple of weeks after Emma’s birth is such a blur due to the complications that arose right after her birth, leaving me in surgery for eight hours and weeks to recover.
Our whole family with exception of my brother…
Our little clan…
Myself and my husband…
What an emotional, wonderfully great last week.  How can parents have such a wide array of feelings?  So happy for the next step of their lives but mixed with a twinge of sadness.
Life is bittersweet…

My beautiful girls…
All too soon the evening came to a close and the new married couple drove away…
The day seemed sort of like a fuzzy dream. Â Totally wonderful but in the same thought how did it come to this so soon. Â Very surreal. Â It was just yesterday…
The boys started moving into his room and found a couple of treasures…
A blanky with only two corners of silky left on it. A blanky a boy carried with him everywhere and was the ultimate comforter…
His little Teddy that followed him everywhere…
How can a mommy go from crying tears of pure happiness and being excited for her boy and his wonderful new wife to crying tears of remembrance all in the same minute?
Linking up with…
Snow, snow and more snow. Â It just keeps on falling…
