Winter Weather Retreat

The weather gave us a nice surprise with warm temperatures. It was a beautiful 60 degrees for the month of January. So we took advantage of it and went outside to enjoy it. It was so refreshing to get outside and move around. I think the boys loved it too because Josh kept laughing at everything. I think he was just so deliriously happy to be outside and not inside the house any more that he just kept smiling and laughing. It was really contagious because you couldn't help but smile as well. So, here are some shots of the boys outside.



I have decided that when Colton is happy his tongue is sticking out. I love little boys wearing hats and doesn't he look so cute with one on?

I love this sweet face. It is so full of awe and curiosity. He is watching his brothers play in the tree, wishing he was big enough to be by their side.

Just hanging out in the swing waiting for his Mommy to put the camera down and push him.


So, what do you do with 2 energetic boys on a warm day to wear them out? I have decided that from now on, I am going to get their shovels out and send them to the garden to dig holes. What boys doesn't love getting all dirty and digging, right? So this is what I had Nate and Josh doing for awhile and they loved it. And yes this really is our garden. It has just been over taken by weeds from his past summer because we didn't have the time to plant a garden. And it's still going to have to wait another year before we can get around to actually doing anything with it. So, for now the boys can dig away and have a great time getting all dirty. After they were done digging, Daddy came home and we decided to treat them to a day at the park. And this is were Josh was really so giggly. I love these mild days, not to hot and not too cold. I wish we could have more of them.
