My sister and niece came for a week long visit recently. It was so fun to get to spend some time together and to have all of the cousins together!

 We made piggy pancakes for the kids and read "If you Give a Pig a Pancake"

 Angie and Rylan in Hatcher's Pass. It is so beautiful up there...but it was super snowy and foggy the day we went sledding...so Angie could'nt even see the mountains!

 On the way back from Hatcher's Pass Hudson kept sneaking Bailey his snack.

 Bella and Rylan

I have been doing a letter a week preschool for Bristol and this week we were on the letter V. So, we made and erupted some volcanoes for one of our activities.

Bella hanging out at the bottom of the hill.

 Snowboarding with Bailey! So Fun!! Brian dropped me off and drove down the mountain to pick me up. (Gotta love the hot pink Michelin Man coat!)

Love our family devotion time at the end of the day!

Every Day

 Bristol is still loving puzzles.

 Bella loves Sam's dog bed...yuck!

 Hudson keeps binoculars by the back window to see if he can spot any moose.

 This guy was on our street...We have seen tons of moose this winter. I don't think I will ever get used to seeing them!

The boys helping me make cookies. When they wear their chef clothes they start speaking with funny accents and saying things like, "Chef Mania...Momma Mia..the chef must wash their hands!" Ha Ha...

Bella is 1!

 Isabella is one! This year seemed to fly by...Bella is walking all over, finally got her first tooth...with one more coming in, and is a pretty easy going girl! She kind of goes with the flow. She loves Daddy and follows him everywhere! She also loves to dance! I love baby dancing!

Happy Birthday Bella!

Goodnight

All three kids ready for bed. Man, we love these guys!

Day to Day

Brian has been back to work the past couple of weeks...this is one of his last Korean trips! One more to go. Needless to say, I have been busy with a cute bunch of kiddos! We have been able to stay pretty busy, which always makes for better days. Today has been pretty slow...the minutes seem to be ticking by...it is raining outside so we are stuck inside. The boys are playing in the sink (swimming dinos around) and Bella's taking her afternoon nap. Here are a few pictures from over the past week. Hudson and Bristol love to entertain their baby sister!
Isabella has been sitting up with only the occasional topple over.We met some friends at the reindeer farm in Palmer on Monday. Here is Anne with Bristol feeding a baby reindeer.

One tired baby!
