When someone cares

It is easier to speak

It is easier to listen

It is easier to play

It is easier to work

When someone cares it is easier to laugh.

-Susan Polis Schutz

This picture is an oldie but goodie!  That someone who cares is my wonderful sis-inlaw and friend and Auntie, that someone is Alli.  We love you Al!

Linking up to Marcy.

Sunset

Silt has beautiful sunsets!  

Another outing to the Flattops

Yet again, we made a trip up to the Flattops.  I love this place!  Especially in the winter.  

I also love these trees, if you haven't noticed.

Parker usually tries skipping these outings.  It was so fun to have him along.  

Clarke tried out his new snowshoes he got for Christmas.

Taking a break and watching the clouds roll by.

This is what happens when you front flop into the snow with glasses! :)

After snowshoeing, we drove down the road a little ways and went sledding.

The boys found a jump.

And this is where we stayed.

Love this! Missing tooth and all.

Oopsie, someone's getting a bit huffy!

 A beautiful drive home during my favorite time of day!

Skating

This winter we took full advantage of the cold weather and did plenty of skating!  I compiled a few iceskating outings into one blog post.

We had some beautiful warm days.

It was Clarke's first year on skates.  He loved it!!

There was boys hockey on Thursday evenings.  

Plowing the rink.

We also had, really snowy days!  These days, it felt like all we did was shovel.  

The custom ice scraper used for clearing snow.

Yes, I skated too!  And had fun doing it.
