The Little Joys of Life!



 We like to sometimes do things spur of the moment. March 6th was one of those days. It was just a normal Friday; school and different jobs were filling up the day, when Mom had an idea..."Lets go to Bemis Hill." A statement which put the kids into quite an excited mood :)

It did not take long to communicate to Dad who was at work, collect the necessary items, and pile into the van. All said, it was a very fun afternoon. Sledding, Family Time, Creation, Over the fire food, Singing hymns together...life can't get much better :)


Warm, crackling, smokey, bright...adjectives that all describe the fire that Daddy prepared.

Esther!!

It's a long trek up :)
Cooking your hotdogs is so much fun. And they taste so good when you've been sledding for a while:)

"What is the best route down to the bottom without spilling out?":) Thankfully we left Bemis Hill with nothing more serious than some sore muscles!

Marie loves to write. One day she wrote a fun, short mystery to preform in skit form for Mom and Dad. A valuable picture is stolen, a detective is called, a suspect is apprehended, and justice is served:)

The terrifying robber!!

The brave queen!!



The resourceful detective!! 
A post would not be complete without a few pictures of our sweet 5 month old nephew (grandson:)!
