Artwork by Daniel 2/3/2011

Daniel really likes to draw and make things. He made this great picture of Jon and his car and our red brick house with a flower and a nice sunny day. I zoomed in on Jon and the car so you could see how cute they are.

One Day Daniel really wanted to write the word cat to put by his drawing of a cat. This one is actually the final draft after he got some help.

This is the first draft that he attached to a cute little house that he colored and cut out himself. He got the number of letters right, just didn't know what he was spelling :)

Decorating Valentines cookies and building train tracks 1/17/2011

Mom and I found two big boxes of wooden trains and tracks and the thrift store. We had a lot of fun covering the entire living room floor with them.
Leah Loves Grandma and loves cookie dough.
Daniel made me a V cookie.
Leah ate a lot of cookie dough.
Daniel can decorate cookies with William and wink ;)

Now that is how you eat a frosted cookie with lots of sprinkles.

I'm pretty sure that one of both of them licked the frosting off of the lid too.

A few weeks before Valentines Day Grandma Jacobson. Helped the kids make and decorate cookies. They of course loved it. Leah and Eden really liked putting frosting and sprinkles on, licking them off and putting more on.

Snow and a black eye 11/13/2010

We got a lot of snow and the kids had a blast, shoveling, playing, and getting buried in it.

Daniel sat on the top of the snow hill while Joe and I

shoveled/ snow blowed he got a little buried.

Leah was a big help with the shoveling
Daniel took a break from being buried to test his scooter
Leah discovered that If you get stuck you can always

grab a bite to eat
She waded all the way out there by herself. Quite the

feat in deep snow and a snow suit.
Daniel showing me the snow ball he is about to throw at me.
Yum!!
Daniel trying to give Leah some help up the snow hill.

The snow this winter was crazy. It snowed another foot while we were out there shoveling.

And just for fun and documenting purposes. Here is Jon and his lovely black eye that he got from standing up, turning around and walking right into a beam. Ouch.
