Simple things we enjoyed-February

Trains. Oh, how they adore trains! And they adore each other... Most of the time:)

Family bowling:

Our heart shaped pancakes Valentine tradition:

Moments like this:

Skiing with friends and an adults only weekend away to rejuvenate and relax. I've been wanting to do this all winter. It's been 10 years since I've skied and I was a little nervous but it was so much fun!

Finally getting outside to play in the snow:

Playing  with random items. Ewwww:

Simple things we enjoyed November 2015

A 10 year anniversary trip to Aruba where we read, rested, relaxed and had uninterupted conversations with each other in the sand and sun.

I also found some heart shaped coral!

Watching our kids play together, using their imagination and tightening their bond.

Thanksgiving day 5k and a guy who is bsck to running after his mountain bike crash/injury.

Holiday preparations! And the magic that surrounds the season.

A Tree for Our Little Man

My husband's grandparents planted a tree for all of their grandchildren at their house and I love that idea. They have watched their children grow and watched the trees grow along with them. I wanted to  do that for our children and we planted a tree when our daughter was born (before I started blogging) and most recently when our son was born.

Picking out just the right tree was more work than actually planting it!

We all helped plant the tree once we got it home

This little girl took a break

and found a worm

This little guy mostly just supervised...and played with the yard flags

Now each of the kids have their own tree, we labeled with a personally engraved rock.
