It's Christmas
I'm so excited. Ben and Katelyn keep talking about this
Santa guy and presents. I've been really good (ask Mommy!).
I hope he leaves something for me.
Cookies and milk for Santa and a carrot for the reindeer.
OK Santa. We're ready!
Yay. He came! And he even filled a stocking for Daisy.
I think she likes her sock monkey.
Tug of War---Daisy's favorite game.
It's not Christmas without some American Girl boxes under
the tree. Here's Molly.
Ben got an awesome telescope. Everybody keep your shades
drawn!!!

Ironstone Farm Andover
On Saturday, July 3rd Katelyn and I took a trip to Ironstone Farm in Andover for her vaulting evaluation in preparation for horseback riding lessons. She did amazingly well and can't wait for the lessons to start.
Vaulting is gymnastics on horseback. It allows you to solely focus on
strengthening, balance, and your confidence on the horse.
Megan, Katelyn's instructor, was awesome.

Heidi was the lucky one who got to blown up all the tubes.

Totally Tubular!!!

Weekend in North Conway
This past weekend, we traveled to North Conway, NH
to celebrate my birthday and have some winter fun.
As soon as we got to the hotel, the kids couldn't wait to
hit the pool and hot tub.
On Saturday morning, we went to Mt. Cranmore for some
snow tubing. The temp. was in the single digits but we were
thankful that there was no wind. We were more than toasty
in our winter gear.
Paul, Katelyn and Ben are ready to head up the mountain.
It was a beautiful clear crisp day with a spectacular view
of the Mount Washington.
Katelyn, Ben and I get ready for another run.
Cutie Pie Ben is having a blast.
Katelyn's getting towed up the mountain.
Such a gorgeous view!
Here's comes Paul.
Make a wish......
One the sculptures---looks like a hand holding an apple with a bite out of it.
Katelyn and Ben walking through the snow. Cranmore was
putting the cold temps to good use and making lots of snow that morning.
Look Mom, no hands!!!
Paul and Ben are on their way down.
Katelyn and I hit the bottom.
Check out the rosy cheeks!

Another ride down the mountain.
There go Katelyn and I.
After our tubing fun, we headed over to
Black Mountain, Jackson, NH
to check out the snow sculpting competition.
Make a wish......
to compete. You may have seen him on Fox News or seen his
work in front of his house on Pleasant St. in Wakefield.
We hope he did well.
