Mixed Media Monday


Here's my first try at Mixed Media Monday. I finished it a little later than I wanted. Work started this week and we all came down with the stomach flu, but I finished it today. Romance was the word for the week. I'm not much of a romantic, so it was kind of hard for me to do it. I don't like getting sappy, but I had decided my goal for the week was to do this prior to finding out what the word was. A little footsie is always nice, whether it is under the moon, at a beach, or just relaxing in the living room.

The weekend



A little Friday night fun at the outdoor rink in Madison. Anytime I can strap my skates on and get some hockey in makes me happy. Fischer isn't getting to adventurous yet with his ice skating, but he had fun. He pushed Uncle Jeff around for awhile, then he had to take a brake and ride around on his lap. The weather was beautiful and you just can't beat all that fresh air.
On Sunday was another birthday party. This time it was for Kaden and Griffin. We saw lots of relatives we hadn't seen in a long time and ate lots of pizza. It was over stimulation for all.

Wisconsin!


Well, it's already been three weeks since we moved to Wisconsin. Times goes way too fast. We are enjoying our new house. It is starting to feel like home. It is great to see family frequently. I think this is great for the kids. Though, I am starting to remember all too well as to why we moved to Idaho. WISCONSIN WINTERS! I forgot just how cold they are. It is not much fun to be outside in these frigid temperatures. Even the birds were pretty quite during those cold days. I thought it was time I got back to posting pictures on the blog. The camera is unpacked and the kids are ready to pose. The camera is never far away. It makes me look at the everyday ordinary just a little bit different.

Fischer was helping me make pizza dough today. I went to the sink and when I turned around, I found him in the bread box on the counter. What a little contortionist. Luckily Amelia wasn't around because she is monkey see, monkey do.



Cosmo has found her favorite spot in our house. It is on the steps looking out the window. She gets full sun all day while watching the squirrels run around. She just quivers at times from excitement when she watches them. I think squirrel chasing will be her summer past time.


Gavin and Petie had their birthday party this past weekend. It was luckily the warmest day of January. Perfect sledding weather. Gavin did well on the snowboard. The kids had a blast. Everyone got a turn at the pinata and plenty of candy to go around. Fischer was exhausted the next day and took a 4 1/2 hour nap!
