Sleeping in the rocker
Like an old man...
Catching a show while his sis and buddy nap.
I was in the kitchen cleaning and I heard him say, "daddy" I finished what I was doing (about 2 minutes) came in and found him like this...

Day off
No Carter today. On these days I try to get out and do things with Cayle and Lindy that may be more difficult to do with 3 kids. This morning we went swimming at the pool, then Cayle had a large chocolate donut with sprinkles.
Then we went to the library to pick out some new books. Cayle rode his bike home from there and I walked with Lindy. 1.5 mile bike ride for my little boy! No complaining, he just enjoyed himself on this fine, sunny day. Once he saw a bus at a crosswalk and he waved at the driver and was so pleased with himself when the driver waved back. It was cute.
This afternoon we got out for a good bike ride. Saw some wild turkeys, which we hardly ever see out here, and enjoyed some much needed blue sky's and sunshine!
Crazy Sun
This pic is from Monday. Temp said 28 and I was outside shirtless... Cayle had on a sweatshirt and shorts and was playing comfortably. Just tells you how warm the sun can be at this altitude!

Depressing!
I am ready for spring! Bring on daylight savings and warmer temps! The best time of year for most cyclist/outdoor endurance enthusiasts.
Face timing with my dad and brother while they vacation in Hawaii...

a mid-winter break...
this has been one of the best breaks from work. ever. why? we have done nothing really special - no major trips anywhere, no crazy-busy plans, just a lot of relaxing family time.
on saturday, i headed to the mountain for a bit of skiing, then we picked grandma brummer up from the eagle airport. on sunday, we went to church and took cayle skiing. nick and i had a special date on monday and got to ski/snowboard together and get lunch out.
i hate to pat myself on the back, but i made a pretty darn good veggie lasagna monday night. on tuesday nick, cayle, and grandma headed up to maloit park to cross-country ski and play in the snow a bit.
nick and i also had an awesome dinner at paradigm's in eagle. nick, grandma, the kids and i went to the gypsum rec center pool for a while wednesday morning before heading over to yeti's for breakfast. wednesday night, we took cayle bowling for his first time. he loved it. it's definitely something we need to get him out for more often.
grandma had a flight out of eagle thursday morning, which, due to a snow storm, turned in to thursday afternoon. today we got groceries and cayle and daddy played outside. tonight we're heading to a housewarming party for some friends. we still have the rest of the weekend - lots of options and lots more family time until work resumes on monday.

Bowling!
Cayle went bowling for the first time tonight. Grandma took us all to The Back Bowl for an hour of bowling and dinner. Cayle really enjoyed himself! Natalie was on fire! She started out with consecutive strikes. I ended up beating her by just 3 pins! 146-143.

Valentines Day
Everyone got a gift. Cayle got a new ball glove. Lindy a new toy. Natalie got a new pair of Keens and I got a batch of specialty craft brews. Natalie also got flowers and chocolate from the kids. The pic below was our dinner. Really only Lindy ate the pasta. The rest of us just ate white or dark chocolate with a choice of pineapple, strawberries, sour gummy worms, or Oreos. Yummy!
Cayle was digging the chocolate for dinner!!!
Lindy's Valentine outfit
We got to go to the library for reading time today! Cayle absolutely loves the fish tank!
And of course we all got out for a bike ride on this great day!
Happy 2nd Birthday Carter
Carter officially turned 2 yesterday. Cayle gave him his gift when he came over today. 
Play dough
And six different cube puzzles

Nap time
Now that Cayle has stopped his regular afternoon nap, it's always interesting to see where he just passes out because he's so tired!
Today on the couch eating snack and watching basketball
In the chair with me this weekend
On the couch in Breckenridge after skiing
On the floor while I was working outside
I the chair while watching basketball
As you can see he clearly favors the couch, area rug, or recliner in the living room. It usually happens after he adamantly states "Cayle not tired, not going night night..." Sometimes though he says, "Cayle very tired..."

Snowshoe adventure
Took the kids out for a little adventure today after church.
When confronted with big hills I usually say, Yes! (I def. underestimatedhow steep and difficult this one was!) 
At the top! That was a Major workout!!!
My trail on fresh snow
Not riding bike :-( but still very good training!
Baby girl had a good ride (nap) as did Cayle
