Winter Wonderland

 It has been snowing here since Saturday and its foretasted to snow more!

 On Sunday we took advantage of the Mendenhall Lake being frozen and walked out on it with some friends Nate, Annie and Jackson.

 It was beautiful so beautiful and kind of warm feeling.  There were scattered clouds and every once in a while the sun and some blue sky would peek through.

 Our friends brought a little baby sled and let Ruby try it out.  Dan pulled her fast, slow, down hills, over bumpy ice and anything else he could find.  Ruby didn't really have much reaction to the sled ride. 

 Dan licked the icebergs frozen in the lake

 and posed for some cute photo's of him and Ruby!

 Ruby on the frozen lake!

 Ruby and her bestie Jackson!

 Today was another day filled with snow, oh how I love snow!

 Lucky for us we live in a beautiful place with lots of trails so you can take full advantage of the beauty!

 I love this place!

best friends

I love how much Ruby and Jackson love each other.  A few nights ago we looked after Jackson for a few hours.  When he was dropped off Ruby was napping.  While she napped Jackson had fun exploring her toys and our house.  Ruby woke up so I went in, got her and brought her out to see Jackson.  They both got so super excited about each other.  Jackson did this cute little dance where she shook his head back and forth and held his arms up.  Oh it was the cutest thing ever.  After his dance he crawled over to her and gave a her big, wet kiss on her face and hugged her, it melted my heart!

There are lots of photo's today because I am a huge slacker at posting things.  Lately I have not been motivated to blog anything even if its just pictures.  Normally if I feel like I have to do something it makes me want to do it even less, so that is why nothings been going on here lately.

the last of it...

This weekend we bid farewell to some of the last decent weather of the year.  The sun was shining but it was really chilly out.

  Dan, Ruby and I met Nate, Annie and Jackson at Lena beach after church and had a small BBQ. 

 The afternoon was filled with good company, good conversation and good weather.

 After eating we went down to the water and sat the baby's down and let them suck on rocks

 while their papa's threw rocks in the water.

 Ruby was really intrigued with the rocks splashing in the water.

The day ended with Ruby reading her papa's motorcycle magazine..
