Sawyer the Snow Warrior Out For A Snow Battle























I think the snow won that battle!
No problem... since it is snowing again, you can try again in just a bit.

Favorite Family Day

We can't resist getting out in that cold wet powder and running around with you kids like we are still children ourselves. I know daddy and I have a lot of similarities. One of our most common traits is that we never fully grew up. I love that about us.
US.... I love the word "us."
 The snow pictures that we have taken over the years are so dear to my heart. Some of my favorite pictures to date are right here on this page. I am thankful for yesterdays memories.
I can't get over how awesome little man looks once his snow clothes are on and everything comes together to create Sawyer the Snow Warrior!
 The girls! Holding onto my pink snow bunny is one of the best feelings in the world! Daddy picked your precious snowsuit. And I fell in love with you wearing it.


 Forever... one of my favorite pictures of the snow princess.









 Those arms will keep you warm. Always!!







 Another favorite of Sawyer the snow warrior!

 Priceless picture capture of Lyj.
 Perfect profile of Sails.

 My favorite pic to date of you and me, Lyj! It really isn't the picture that has my heart... it's the silly words that were being exchanged and all of the laughter when getting started down that hill!

This makes me want to throw away all of the work that we have created in our lives and find a way to play all day long, everyday.
Holding onto the sweetest memories!
Love,
   Mom
