The Blizzard of '08

Ah, spring.

Well, as you can see, we had a pretty insane weekend. A blizzard struck Central Ohio, and it all felt a bit like a scene out of a wilderness movie. Our next door neighbor even came over in these big snowshoes, asking if we needed anything. I felt like a prospector in my cabin in Alaska.

Anyway, it made for a fun day in playing in the snow. Ben built Amber an igloo in the backyard. She thought it was pretty neat. Also, don't be alarmed. In the video of the igloo, those are socks on her hands. Apparently, her gloves weren't keeping her hands warm enough so I had to improvise.

Here are some pictures. Check out the scene from our front door. There was about 15 inches of snow and blizzard force winds. And April is supposed to be the cruelest month?

Renee is a Slacker

Okay, I admit it, when it comes to the blog, I am a big slacker. Sorry.
However, I have made it up to you today by puting up 4 posts to make up for the four weeks that I missed. So, don't miss any of them. Scroll all the way down. And then, we can all pretend that I have, in fact, been keeping up with my blog and posting every week.

The many moods of Amber and Logan

Here is an assortment of pictures of the kids. These show the various moods of two very energetic children.

The first is Amber and Logan: two Binkie Buddies. Here you see them in repose, calm and relaxed.

Then, Amber the chef. She gets it in her mind to create, and voila, a cheese, carrot, and mushroom sandwich.

As you can see in the third picture, the anger of Logan. He does not like to be put in the walker. Not at all.

And finally, Amber and Logan as sweet brother and sister. It truly warms my heart to see how much they love each other.

The Eye Ball

We went to the Eyeball on Febuary 23rd. It was a blast. I loved to watch people around me get drunk and act foolish. :P

Actually, I really did have a great time. One of the things that made it so fun was the group we went with. There were six couples from our ward and we all got out and boogied on the dance floor together. Pay special attention to Ben's sweet dance moves. As you can clearly see, he has SKILLS.

Amber the dramatic Ballerina

Amber is taking a Ballet class and she loves it. As you can see from these pictures, she feels quite dramatic and glamerous about the whole thing. She loves to practise at home before her adoring fans. Note the seriousness in her face.

Logan's on the move!

Here is Logan on Valentines day. He was two days shy of 10 months. What a little busy body!

Logan's True "Da Da"

Logan loves the Mitt Romney Bobblehead so much that he calls is Da Da.
