Totally worth it!

We went to the Midway Ice Castle for a date recently, and despite the cold, it was SO worth it!  What a spactacular thing.  It was beautiful!  So neat!  The pictures dont do it justice.

Snow Fun!

Watching from inside.

The miracle on the Leaf...

It was a "Whale of a Tale"!

Slaying the Dragon!

Clean Laundry

A "Midgee!"

Beep! Beep!

"I hope they call me on a mission"...

"When I have grown a foot or two....."

Cub Scouts!

Joshua is finally a cub scout! And HE LOVES IT. He's practically read the entire book already! He is so excited about it. He earned his Bobcat in only a couple of weeks. So Mom got to be "pinned". I couldn't be happier! What a great kid.

Brent's Wedding

Brent and Kirstie got married on January 14th, 2011. It was a wonderful day. We love Kirstie and couln't be happier for them!!! What a beautiful couple!

Here we are at the reception....

It's great to be eight!!!

I can hardly believe that my Joshua is old enough to be baptized! What a wonderful boy. He had a beautiful, and very spiritual baptism. It was a cold snowy night, but it was so warm inside. He was so excited to be baptized, and is now trying his best to choose the right.

This face says it all......

He actually LOVES Breanne! Thank heaven for her. What a great big sister. But she sometimes comes and holds him when he would rather be with mommy. I just love that I captured that exact moment when he looked right at me and seem to communicate: "please help me mom!" I quickly did.
