Bowling With The Family

We went bowling today with Chris' brothers family! 
Its always a good time when we get together. I didn't bowl my best game this time though! The kids did great for their first time bowling! 







It's rare to get a picture of Olivia not using a silly or serious face!
Cousins:


Yep- Nick was there-this is proof! You will find all pictures of him on his Aunt Stephanie's phone ;-)

Candy Canes

When its Christmas Time and your little girl asks if she can have the "last candy cane" 
You of course say YES!!!
(especially since she has now requested for "Minth" toothpaste all thanks to candy canes!!!)




A Few Days In Nebraska

On Wednesday we drove back to Nebraska with Chris to spend a few days there, unplug and just spend time with the four of us (well the 3 of us while Chris was at work). It was really nice to not have any house distractions going on. We played lots of games of memory and battleship and played in the snow-its been a couple of years since we've had the chance to do that! 
The car ride was about 5 hrs with stopping 3-4 times. It was pretty noisy with "Made you look, Made you look, now your in the baby book" which is a new phrase Nick has learned at school and ofcourse it gets repeated by both of them constantly! Also, a new one is Hey Mom: "What?" "You said the nerd word-you said the nerd word." (I have no idea what the point is or how they even come up with it-but of course I play) There is something about putting yourself in a kids perspective that makes family time the most joyous time! I loved these past few days with them! 
Long car ride:

Really loved the chicken border: 
 Snow Time:













and what kind of vacation would it be without a little R&R: 


We also looked at a house while we were there! Maybe I will have a post about that coming up in the next few months! ;-)
