March Forth

 Today was a beautiful day. I convinced Barry he didn't want to go to work, so he stayed home with us and we spent the day together. We ended up going fishing on our land. Emma caught a rather big trout. James was pretty proud of her.

 Owen really enjoyed the freedom of being able to walk around and explore.

 action packed games of Candyland.

 No more lip-tie

 James' awesome Lego creations. The Hook Shot

 Owen Sans curls

 We sold our canoe. It was a sad day, but the nice man will put it to good use and we will get a bigger one better for our family. :D

 Owen's last day of curls.

 Ellie's last day of Ski Class, they went up to beautiful Sun Valley to ski all day.

 IT was a lovely Valentine's Day. I usually dress up a bit, but this year I was sick, so I decided a pink sure was all that was required.

 Owen Bear enjoying his Bear Cookie.

 Barry did his best to help me feel better, He bought me 2 lbs of the best chocolates in the world!
The were gone before Monday!

 Long trips to the home improvement store

 pretty sure I already posted the pictures below, but just in case.....

 Barry and His Brother did a cross-country ski race up in Sun Valley. The both did awesome.
I wish I could post the pictures they took, but I can't seem to get them to transfer.

Me and porcupine head. His hair was unbelivably wild that day.

Braving the cold.

 Not braving the cold. ;)

 Brother Buddies

 I did three sets of 10 pullups this month!!!
Last March I couldn't even do one. Owen stands under the bar and says push push! Until you pick him up and give him a turn.
He also picked up, carried and dropped a 15lb weight on his foot this month. I just couldn't believe my eyes so I didn't save him quick enough. My super boy seemed to be ok though. :)

 We went to Dierke's for MLK Day it was a lovely cold day.

 Ellie's first day of college!
Pictured with her kindergarten backpack.

 She is trying to look older and studious.

Ellie is taking a Cross-country  ski class from CSI. Barry happens to be her instructor. She skied almost 4 miles her first day. She did awesome!
