Ezra's Birth Announcement

I really try to be competent with programs like photoshop, but I just don't have the time! Luckily, I have fantastic friends who are wizards with these programs! (Thank you Anjella!)

Important Vesuvius information

This is a very important update for our super fun sledding hill, Mount Vesuvius. Ethan has decided he needs to change it's name so we don't confuse last year's Vesuvius with this year's Vesuvius. Effective immediately our sledding hill is now Mount Kilimanjaro. I think he learned about this mountain from Michelle.

Vesuvius update for Huge Snow today!

After a HUGE snow day today we spent a lot of time building up our sledding hill!!

Ethan and I spent all morning sledding and shoveling, now that Spen is home he is taking over for me!! Ethan is in heaven with his hill!

Ethan is good enough to mind our rule of no sledding without a grown up there to help and watch.

We finally got it packed enough that we can sled down 'doubles'. Ethan even talked our neighbor into sledding down with him. :)

Perfect for the Christmas break!

Vesuvius 2008

If you saw our blog last year, you know that we built our own sledding hill in our front yard for Ethan. Yesterday and today we finally got enough snow to start construction on the new and improved Vesuvius!

I have to say, we are all pretty excited about it. Mason only tried last year's hill a few times, but I think this year he'll be more excited about it. Ez will have to wait!

Ethan is fearless I'm afraid... He's going to have to start wearing his ski helmet when he is playing with just his friends and not his dad! When it gets too dark he brings his sled in to do some "stair sledding." I don't think I'll elaborate!

Skiing!~

Last year Spencer took Ethan to Sundance to teach him how to ski for his first year. He did pretty good for a beginner 4 year old! This year they both got passes
and I don't know who is more excited about it, Ethan or Spencer!

They've already gone twice so far and have plans to go A LOT these next few weeks! From what I hear he has improved quite a bit already this year! I just love how much he loves going with his dad...

Christmas Party

This year we finally got it together enough to attend the annual Angels Hand's Christmas party. It's at a fun center where you can to fun rides and roller skate and watch magic shows, etc.

After our pizza lunch date with Santa, we started at the bumper cars. Ethan and Spen had to go several times to satisfy Ethan! He had a blast

You can see how excited Mason was for the fun! His favorite part (to all of our surprise) was the movie! We went to see Madagascar with everyone. It was a lot of fun and our boys were so great!

Spencer took Ethan out to try and roller skate. He was pretty shakey!

Then he too Mason for a spin. I love that they let you do this with kids in wheelchairs!

Ezra 2 months old!

Time is just flying away from me, I remember thinking with Ethan that he just grew up way too fast. Mason has just been different in every way, but I am feeling like Ezra is growing up much too fast too! There's nothing I can do about it! At his 2 month check up he weighed 13.8 pounds and was 25.8 inches tall! He is getting so big so fast!

He's so adorable I can't stand it!

His brother's absolutely adore him. He's been so much fun.

We are all so happy to have him in our family! (He is too, I promise! This is just too cute of a picture not to put up!)
