$19 tickets!

That's right $19 plane tickets. My friend told me about a deal Frontier was having and I couldn't believe it. So a few trips were planned and great visits were had.

The kids are into hunting deer thanks to Liam and Cory. So we loved getting to use Liam's guns and hunting all those animals.

Hunting in MO at Mimi and Pops.

Since we don't have guns Owen has to use the TV remote to get all the snakes and deer.

Taking a train ride in the Columbia mall.

It snowed a little, while we were visiting, so of course the kids wanted to play in it. Love this pic of Mimi and Owen.

My beautiful baby girl.

My handsome nephew Liam.

Another handsome boy.

All the cousins played so well, but Owen and Liam are really starting to hit it off. They love being boys together. So cute!

Movie night at Liam's.

All the grand kids. Owen, Mari, Eliza, and Liam.

Liam's daycare went to Sesame Street Live and we were able to go as well. What a fun show! I think I enjoyed it as much as the kids.

We had such a great visit. On the flight home Mari and Owen got to go into the cockpit and see all the controls. Owen was ready to push all those buttons and fly that thing himself.

Thanks for everything and we can't wait for you all to come visit us in a few weeks.

As always I'm catching up

on what our family has been up to. And as always I feel as though it has been busy and crazy.

There is a snow fort in Keystone, so Greg and I took the kids. We expected a bit more, but they had a great time. We got to ride the gondola and then play around on this giant pile of snow.

Mari in front of the entrance. We got to climb through a little hole.

Owen heading into that door.

My favorite part of the fort was this ice chair.

Mari took this picture for us. Not to bad, she loves taking pictures. There was also a slide and the kids flew down it. It was very fast, but they thought it was sooo fun.

Now on to why I feel like life was crazy for so long. At the beginning of December the 9h to be exact we caught a 24 hour bug. This was a bug of vomiting and diarrhea. No other symptoms so we managed. We kicked it and on we went through Christmas. Then a bit after that I feel like the kids or I were sick every other day with the same bug. It was such a long process. Needless to say we were home a lot for a long time. Can you say "momma is going crazy finding things to do".

Here is Owen wearing a bike helmet. Apparently we have some dangerous meals.

Mind you we were sick but we still had tons of energy. So we had many dance parties in dress up clothes.

A friend of mine posted this on her blog and I am so thankful because my kids loved it. They are mini volcano's and are an easy clean up.

Another family ski day.

The best part of skiing is the snacks after. Hot chocolate and chocolate pudding.
