SNOW DAY!!!

Scroll down for 2 more new posts after this one!

The last two times it has snowed (and I use that term loosely) Hannah wasn't allowed to go out due to sickness. So this time I made sure she had her snow time! She was so excited to go out and play. Here are a few pics from Monday.

All smiles!
"Hey, I want to go out too! Mom, don't forget me!"
Pretty!
Snowball Fight!
"HEY...I WANT TO THROW A SNOWBALL TOO!!!"
Time to come in...she wasn't happy!

On Monday it snowed for a couple of hours and then rained the rest of the day. DJ had to stay in Searcy because of the roads and so I was left to keep the kids. Not a big deal unless your oldest wants to go out and play and your youngest is just too small to play out in the snow. I didn't want to get Trey out because he doesn't really have a good winter coat and I didn't want to have to hold him the whole time while trying to take photos too. SO, he stayed inside and Hannah got to play for about 5 minutes. I told her we would come back out when he went down for a nap, but by the time that happened it was raining. I decided to keep her in and she would get to go out on Tuesday! Here are some pics from today (while Trey was napping).

The skinny snowman (I didn't have great snow to work with) I built for Hannah and her new sassy pose.
Lexi had a great time walking on top of the frozen snow.
Sledding! As most Arkansans I don't own a sled. So, I made one from a storage box top and used the frozen over snow on our driveway for Hannah to sled down. She had a blast! When DJ got home around 6 he took her back out and sled some more.
She attempted to make a snow angel, but the snow was just too hard. It made a small impression.

Gymnastics Party

Continue to scroll for another post after this one!

Hannah's neighborhood friend, Macy, had her birthday party at River City Gymnastics this year. I was super excited to take her because I wanted to see if she would be interested in doing gymnastics on a regular basis. We took her (about 10 months ago) to a free class and she didn't want anything to do with the kids or the coaches. It might have been an age issue or the fact that Trey was just born...who knows. We didn't go back. So, this time was another test for her. SHE LOVED IT!

She is swinging from the bars (with a little help from Coach Kyle).
You might have to click to make the picture bigger. She was so excited about swing and falling into the foam pit!
Here she is jumping thru the obstacle coarse like a pro. I didn't know if she would be able to do some of these things, but she surprised me. She did an excellent job and had so much fun.
Jumping again!
Climbing up the pirate ship to slide down into the foam pit. I was surprised that she could do this all by herself and didn't need anyone to show her how to do it either.

I think we are going to sign her up for gymnastics this fall. I don't know if we will go back to Leah's in Benton or go to River City in Little Rock. RC is much bigger and seems to be a better facility (one she will excel in). But we will have to compare prices and all that stuff. She is excited and said she wanted to go back...so I will keep you posted on that one.

The Wonder Place

I took the kids to The Wonder Place the end of January. Our church paid for the kids and half of my price and so we were not going to miss it. Hannah really likes going there to play in the tree house, the market, the wind tunnels and the sand. This was Trey's first time to go. He had fun chewing on wooden blocks and playing with his friend J. Here are some pictures!

This doesn't have anything to do with The Wonder Place, but I thought it was too funny not to post. Hannah got mad at Trey for "bugging" her while she was coloring, so she retaliated...and marked on his head with a blue marker.
