Happy Valentines Day!

We took a trip up to Nana and G-daddy's for Valentine's Day weekend! The intent was to have a snowy adventure, however, due to the unusually warm spell that swept across the East coast the week before, there wasn't a single flake left! They haven't seen the ground since November and of course the one chance we get to make the trek up North, it's all gone! Just our luck. This happens to us in the summer too, we'll hit the one rainy weekend in June or the unusually chilly day in August! Anyway, in an attempt to play in some snow, we took Kyle over to the ski resort on Friday to see if maybe we could go snow tubing. He wasn't exactly tall enough, but they let him slide by (no punn intended)! We had SO much fun. For the kid that likes speed, this was right up his alley. Check out the video below to see what a ride it was......



Here are some pics too.

On Saturday, Valentine's Day, Nana and Kyle did a little baking and made some yummy heart shaped cookies with sprinkles....... a lot of sprinkles.




Here are the boys in their Valentine's t-shirts. How cute are they?







Later in the day, the boys opened their gifts. In addition to the traditional candy, Kyle was a lucky boy and got his very first Transformer. He was so excited. When he asked Daddy to tranform it, well......let's just say you'd think our Mechanical Engineering Degrees would be somewhat overqualifying...not the case. Here's Daddy giving it a shot without the directions.




And then of course Mommy took the directions and gave it a shot, thinking she would whip that thing right into shape. Seriously, do you see the directions? The age on the box says 5+, are you kidding me?




I just hope we don't lose the directions or we're screwed! For those of you that don't know, G-daddy is an avid collector of old Lionel trains. So, he took Kyle up to the train room to play. Kyle thought that was the neatest thing. G-daddy even collected a few just for Kyle..... his very own trains. Choo! Choo!







And here's Ryan just having a good time running around.




Believe it or not our wish came true. It snowed most of the day Saturday, although lightly, it was enough to go play in on Sunday morning. So, we took out the sled and built the best snowman we could. As you can see Ryan wasn't such a big fan of the ride down the hill, but in his defense, it was nap time and this pretty much just sent him over the edge :)










Thanks for such a fun weekend!
