Easter Egg Dying 2013

Always a favorite time of the year!  Every year we go through the eggs so fast and I tell myself that next year I will buy even more.  I think next year I should just buy 3-4 dozen!

 

Pregancy Recap

 I didn't get pictures every week, or even every other week, but I did get several throughout the pregnancy!

 

 

     

 

 

 

The boys were drawing on my board and Will did the writing for me this week!

Welcome Samuel Grayson!

We interrupt our normally scheduled catching up on posts to announce the arrival of the newest member of the Cox family!

Snow Sculptures - Fur Rondy

As a part of Fur Rondy, there is a snow sculpting contest.  They are done really close to the base, so we went to check them out.  Some of them were really quite impressive!

Snowshoeing

We borrowed snowshoes from some friends and went bird hunting.  It was a lot of fun even though we never really saw any birds.

Valentine's Cards and Box

Ben had to make a box to put his class valentine's in, so we made these adorable monster boxes.  Eli didn't want to be left out so he made one too.  Our valentine's cards for this year were superhero lollipops.  The boys in Ben's class really loved these!

Will made these for his class too.

Of course making superhero valentines means you must wear your superhero cape.

Happy Valentine's Day - 2013

Valentine's Craft and a Snowman

Doing a little Valentine's crafting!  And because it was a fairly warm day, the snow melted enough to stick together for a snowman!  Our snow is typically too dry to stick together for forts or snowmen.

Nature Walk

Still catching up, but I have made it to 2013!  I skipped over the Christmas morning pictures.  It is just too dark here in Alaska at that time and the kids are moving too fast to get good pictures!  :)  Here we are out at the Eagle River Nature Center again.  Today we finally did the three mile Albert Loop Trail.  It was long, but we enjoyed the new view.
