Good January 2014

Kids enjoyed some sledding on their own as we said good bye to the month.  Snow and a sled, what more could a kid ask for.

 Oops, looks like something went wrong.

Hans looks a little worried that he's loosing.

 Good-bye January

More sledding...

These kids ran in the house after school and only wanted 1 thing..... more sledding!!! 

Might as well enjoy it while it's here, you never know how long it will last or if there will be more.

3 smiles gives you happy kids and a VERY happy mom!!

Finally..... some sledding!!!

January 29th was a great day!  Finally the kids got some good snow to enjoy.  And to make it even better, it was a snow day!!!!

Josh and I were gone all day for meetings, but when we arrived back home there was only 1 thing these kids wanted.  Sledding behind the gator!!  

Waiting patiently 

Happy girl!

It was go time!!

It was music to this mom's ears.  All 3 kids laughing and having so much fun together!  I could have listened to it all night.  

Thanks daddy for always taking time for some good family fun!

City Basketball

Josh was back at coaching basketball Mid-January.  He truly does love coaching his boys and this was such a fun coaching experience.  For the first time Hans got to see court time.  Josh was able to have both Hans and Winston on the same team.  We have definitely had some interesting talks and words exchanged between brothers.  They continue to learn how to work together and be understanding toward one and another.  

Hans and another classmate, both 2nd graders getting to play with the big boys!

A little bench time for the Roberts boys

 Hans finally got to show his dad just how much he has been practicing at dribbling.  He has done a AWESOME job at being the teams point guard.  He's the youngest of the team and it hasn't slowed him down one bit!  Can't for the years ahead and watching these boys continue growing.

Hans headed for a lay-up.....which he made!

A little getaway.....

Josh, myself and a few other good friends decided to sneak away for a weekend in Las Vegas.  What a great time we all had.  2 of our friends hadn't been there ever so it was super fun to show them around.  

We had amazing weather as you can see.  The 3 of us had a great time and shared many laughs.

Kim really thought she could pass as a window model.  She just needed to get her hands on one of those sparkle helmets.  

Waiting for fountains at the Bellagio to begin.  Something Kim had never seen.

We even got all dressed up and enjoyed an evening of fanciness.  I quickly remembered why I usually don't wear heels.  They are for looking at and not walking in!

2nd Annual Sam Scramble

For the second year, the community of Ephrata did an awesome job of coming out and having some fun for an AWESOME cause!  It's called the Sam Scramble, named after a very special little girl who lost a battle with cancer.  Her family decided to start this little race around town to raise money and each year they choose a different organization to donate the money to.  

Meet team... Tempid mamas!

We raced through town answering all kinds of clues.  We ran and walked just over 5 miles in an hour and half.  This is us after we finished.

Already looking forward to next year with these ladies.

For the past few years Josh and I have been having friends over and welcoming the New Year in with a good old country style BonFire.  This year was no different.
