Snow Tunnel

Wes and Sam made the coolest snow tunnel in the snow burm across the street.  They dug and dug until they finally had "their headquarters."  The boys have played in it almost every day since.

 

Making A List & Checking It Twice

TX4 - Kayaking

Opa and Nana took us kayaking/canoeing.  Bo and Sam got a little bored by the lack of excitement but it was an absolute beautiful day.  Max loved "fishing" off of Opa's kayak with a string and had a blast.  I loved the sun and the quiet and being out on the water as a family.  I just wish we could have done it more. 

 

TX3 - Feels So Good To Play Outside

 

Nothing Says "Family" Like A Good Old Fashioned Game of Football

The first picture you see when you walk into our house is our last family portrait.  I love it.  It's black and white, framed in a wide black frame and looks awesome.  However, it only has Bo it it.  The last time we had professional family photos taken was before Sam was born.  That's pathetic.   

 

So we asked Wes' house photographer (and brilliant landscape photographer Ryan Black www.ryanblax.com) if he'd meet us out at Grandma & Grandpa's on Saturday to take some candid shots of us.  We know it is nearly impossible to get the boys to all look at the camera and smile at the same time so we decided to have fun and capture the boys in their true element.   

 

Here are a few of my favorites.

 

*Note - I tried to coordinate our clothes and even bought everyone new shirts that coordinated but 15 mintures before heading out the door Max refused to wear his, Wes did not like his, I didn't really like Sam's and mine didn't fit so everyone is wearing whatever they wanted.  And I love how it all turned out.  We look like us.
