Snow Picnic!

We were forecasted a HUGE snowstorm a few days ago, which unfortunately only gave us about 3 inches of snow. Fast forward to today and it's almost gone already. But we still bundled up to go play in it! We'll take whatever we can get! It was relatively warm and very sunny so when Cassidy got hungry, she requested a picnic! Why not?

 The sun was right in her eyes!

 Yesterday Kurt scraped together what snow he could to make the kids a mini snowcave. What a Dad!

We have sleds but the kids prefer to be pushed around in our "Yooper-Scooper" mega snow pusher.

2nd Annual Valentines Day Party

We started a new tradition last year and had a blast continuing it this year! The kids hosted their 2nd annual Valentines Day party for their friends. Such fun and an over-abundance of cuteness!

 Joel gave Cassidy a ring...a ring pop, that is. It may be edible, but we still count it as an engagement ring. :)

 Cute little boys caught up in watching Daniel Tiger.

The Girls Schaben: Charlotte 1 1/2 and Ruby, almost 4

Baby Zach aka Sweetcheeks

Zeke! On his bouncy ball, of course. :)

Blake, the soon-to-be big bro. When asked to smile, he said, "Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze!"

 Almost caught this full-on hug between buds...it is Valentines Day, after all. 

Eating pizza for lunch

After pizza lunch, we decorated heart-shaped cookies with frosting and a plethora of fun candy!

Does this face look creative? You bet! Wait till you see his creations!

Great job, Blake!

Cassidy mostly wanted large spoonfuls of m & m's (or Lemon-M's, as she calls them!)

Awesome, Joel!

Cute Baby Charlotte, soon to be a big sister to ????? the Schaben Mysterybaby!
