Our last snow storm

At least it better be!
Isaac and Papa raking the roof


Isaac asked me to take this picture, I'm standing under a bowing birch tree



Along the edge of our back yard




Isaac shoveling.






Oh and I have to add two more, these were taken a while ago, but are just too funny


Since my child can not resist a good shoveling session, as soon as he sees Papa go out to bring in Deanie, he's rushing to get his boots on. Just his boots other clothes are optional.;~)

Air plane tours

For our CUKE co-op this week we had the awesome opportunity to visit Wiggins Airways. The kids got to go on and explore real airplanes!! You can't beat this, the kids and the adults LOVED it! The kids got to go on the planes look through them, and sit up in the cock pits and look at all the controls. Thanks Winnie, this was so cool.
Isaac is sitting with me right now pointing at the planes and making sound effects, he loved this.
























































Day at the State House




Last week we spent the day at the State House to voice our opposition to HB 367 and HB 368. It drew one of, if not the largest crowd ever to the Capitol Building, over 1000 people showed up. The hearing room was packed and there were lines snaking all around the building. We ended up spending most of the time outside, but did make it in eventually and I was able to sign in.















The line snaking around the entry way, it extended down the hall and up the stairs, and then down the other hall, almost out to the back entry.









This is the line in the back of the building in the rear stair case.





Isaac cooling off, it was a balmy 50* that day, and it felt soooo good to be out!






Standing room only.
We will be hearing in a couple of week s whether they voted inexpedient to legislate or if they pass it.



Isaac's Birthday

Isaac turned two this past weekend. :~) We had the family over to celebrate, and made pizzas and had ice cream cake.

Getting ready in the morning



Isaac waking up and making his appearance.







It looks like he's going for the candles, but he's trying to get the balloons on the cake. :~)




His favorite present.




















Eating Pizza.
We had one other surprise for everyone that we didn't catch on film, we gave Isaac a shirt that says, "Big Brother in Training!" And yes he is!! We are expecting another little monkey in September! :~)

A sled to go on....wood floors? lol


Isaac getting down to business, he wanted a tool belt on and then he added the plunger and notice the car in it? This was his idea of getting ready to go out and play in the snow. Too cute.
