Idaho winters drag on for months and months. We try to keep busy and power through until Spring pokes it little head out of the slushy ground. In June or July. Klive decided to start a room-improvement project to occupy his time. He carved out his own little Avengers corner. At night, he kisses Black Widow when he thinks mom isn't looking. I may be in trouble with this one.
We've spent several white weekends at Nana and Papa's house in Malad. Papa finally got his new tractor and let the kids test it out. Klive has a new-found obsession with all things mobile, so tractor-driving was magical.
The kids and Kolby did a little sledding while Mom and Nana finished up some sewing projects.
No one sledded into the river, and no broken bones or flesh wounds, so fun was had by all.
Klive discovered Papa's "Hoka-lady." He now joins the jam sessions and has introduced Papa to a few new songs, including, "Spider-Man" and "Madness" by Muse. He's become quite the serenader, but he insists on finishing every song off with a soulful version of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town."
Kolby took up cross dressing. It really compliments his winter beard.
June made this awesome valentine box for her class party. She is in love with Jake and Finn from Adventure Time. Mom just shakes her head in bewilderment every time she watches an episode. Mom's obviously old and out of touch with what's cool.
Klive finally weaseled his way onto Kory's mini motorcycle. He is still talking about the most dangerous ride of his life (on his Dad's lap).
Seriously guys, I'm in trouble with this kid. He is a danger junkie.
At least I can count on him to do all my "Honey-Do" projects around the house. The kitchen floor needed a good sawing.
I celebrated my 32nd birthday in February. It was just lovely, my mom and dad kept the kids so Kolby and I could enjoy a weekend alone. Then on my big day, Kolby had the day off from work and the kids were out of school. We went to the park, and Costa Vida, and Costco to celebrate. Ever since I turned 30, I can't remember how old I am. One step closer to senility.
All my true loves in one circle.
We squeezed in a family Disney trip, but I'll give that adventure it's own blog post later.
Kolby celebrated his birthday on March 6. Talk about a good sport. How many husbands would wear dollar store party hats (provided by his 2-year-old) out to dinner at Texas Road House, and agree to ride the saddle in front of a crowded restaurant to celebrate? This guy never disappoints!
We finished up the party with cheesecake and a movie night. And Winnie topped it off with a fever of 104. Happy Birthday Kolby! Guess you wished for the flu?!
The sick-bug visited everyone in the family, and we've enjoyed the hot sweats, cold sweats, pukes, squirts, and days of sanitizing. Fingers crossed that the Winter Plague has passed. Seriously Spring, could you hurry it up?
