Next chapter...tactor rides, cousins..and Crystal Mtn.

I woke up from a nap with Madi and saw the boys driving the tractor..I looked at my grandpa and said "You trusted them to drive it?" and he laughed and said.."well I want a new one anyway" hahahahah..so funny!! and they definitely loved driving it all around! 2 kids had to drive at a time because they werent heavy enough to keep the seat down!!







My sister came by for a visit..with her little man and her super adorable daughter... I loved holder her:) she was so sweet!! We had such a nice visit... and of course took a few pictures!




The boys!! crazy boys!

We also went to Crystal Mountain (only about 30 minutes from my grandmas house.) to play in the snow since we werent sure if we were going to get any...(we did get some!! a few days later!)
The snow there was ridiculous!! and amazing! It was falling and I could barely see the kids!! I had a sled over my head taking pictures so I wouldnt damage my camera... We sledded..played..ate lunch under some trees, had hot cocoa..and really enjoyed the day...I was so happy!! It was just such a great day! We were gone for 5 hours...and my grandma was trying to call us because she was worried..but like I said my kids love the snow!! so we just played and played!!!

This is what we were driving through.....








She enjoys eating snow..... and digging in it!

Then it was snowing pretty hard!! after catching some snow....


Madi and Hain went to the car to warm up a bit! can you see them??

So me and the boys decided to was time for hot chocolate and lunch!! we hid under some trees and enjoyed a nice lunch!


Then we went back for more!! there were a few crash and burns......



um..OUCH!
A bit more time in the snow...

Can you see the snow on his eye lashes?? he face planted it so much that he had snow stuck to his lashes!! This kid is crazy in the snow!! and he never cries..he just keeps going!


Madi was trying to show us how to pose for a "photoshoot"!!!
And..our drive home.... it was beautiful..and foggy..a little scary!


Thats it for now!!!
