Snapshots from our day {March 10, 2015}

Early morning workout - I do 25 minutes on the elliptical and about 20 minutes of weights. I have never taken a picture at the end of my workout - it was a challenge. If I stopped moving the machine paused and when I took the picture while still moving it was blurry. Ahh! Trust me though, my speed was much faster during the workout than what is pictured! LOL

Jacob was really busy today but was able to come home for a few minutes between schools. All the kids piled on him to snuggle a little bit. Levi didn't want his picture taken and Jacob's coffee cup is hiding Asher's face. :) 

Mama's tea blend brewing.

Reading time.

Me and my little bread baking helper.

I think I need a larger bowl to let the dough rise in. HA

3 loaves and 2 pans of cinnamon rolls - plenty for us and some to share.

New homemade play dough is a great rainy day activity!

Sweet 16 month old Ava.

This entire pregnancy I have been craving a grilled cheese sandwich (with pickles and onions) but since I rarely eat bread (I can only eat spelt flour) I haven't had one. Well, since I made bread today, I caved and had a sandwich. It was SOOO good!!!

Snow days.

Last week we got snow for the first time this season! The kids were so excited to watch it come down and get to play in it! Lily and Levi had the best time playing in it, but Asher and Ava preferred to stay inside. 

Early in the week Asher had a bar stool fall over and smash his toe, so he pretty much spent the whole week on the couch. He enjoyed hot chocolate though! :) 

We got about 10.5 inches when it was all finish! This picture was taken at 9pm - I love how light it is outside at night when there is snow on the ground. Jacob and I went for a walk after we got the kids to bed. 

The next morning Jacob wanted to brave driving out to my parent's farm so we could participate in sledding and snowboarding behind the 4-wheeler. I'm not that much of an adventurer, but I didn't want to be left home alone with the kids. Ha!

The roads were pretty rough in some places, but the two big mountains that you have to go up/go down on the way had been scraped, so that was good. We got a little stuck going into my parent's driveway, but when Jacob backed up and took a "running" start we made it. 

Levi enjoyed getting a clump of snow and slowly eating it. 

Levi and Uncle Joshua ready for a sled ride.

Lily and Uncle Joshua having fun on the sled!

Jacob took his snowboard and while he was waiting on a rope to hold on to, he took a quick ride holding on to the sled. Ha

My mom invited us to stay for lunch and I enjoyed getting to help her cook it while Asher and Ava played inside and the others were outside burning off energy.

This week we had a couple of days of ice. Ugh! I'm not a fan of ice...but thankfully we didn't lose power! I am ready for spring now! :)
