The Steiger boys. Ready for some cake and ice cream.
Hmmmmmmm, good.
I guess Nate liked the cake.
And here is the big boy himself.
Emma on Fil's back. She is such a busy girl.
And did I mention how cute she is?
Sam ready for a ride on a turtle.
Emma ready for a ride.
And Nate ready as well.
Emma playing with a star fish.
The J.F. Kennedy aircraft carrier was in Boston for few day as a last stop before decommissioning. We did not go on since Nate and Emma are too small and the line was too long. We got to see it at least from the distance (It looked huge even from the distance).
It was a beautiful day and we got to walk around only in our sweaters.
The kids got this fish from grandma and grandpa. They (the grandparents) stopped on the way from Costa Rica in Atlanta for one day and visited Atlanta Aquarium. Nate is feeding this fish some OJ in the morning. (Maybe it was thirsty.)
Here is Emma in a Disney store. She loves any spinning toys. She got one for Christmas from uncle Vit but it is broken now. (maybe uncle will get another one next time?)
Nate and Sam on a bus ride in the mall. They love just playing around on the little rides. They do not care if I will turn it on (pay for it) for them or not.
Sam is trying to get down the hill on his sled but standing up. He is doing great and maybe in two years he will take some snowboard lessons from uncle Vit.
Nate on the other hand enjoys playing with summer equipment even during cold weather. He likes to play on the swing set and with beach toys in our driveway as well riding the bike or scooter.
And Emma most of the time plays inside. Not that she would not like to go outside but I have to watch her all the time and there is so much that needs to be done inside that we (the girls) do the work inside the house. I am looking forward to the spring when there will be so much to do outside.
I wrote this on our driveway last week when we played outside with the kids. For those who do not know Fil, he is walking weather station. This year has been hard on him since we got only few inches of snow so far. (especially compared to Denver) He has been talking about the big mama for a long time. Well last week he got something finally. We got only 10 inches but it made our day.
When we are done sledding in our back yard we head out for the big hill at the city's golf course. Here is Nate and Emma resting after going up and down few times.
And this is me with my daughter. She was not so sure about all those people around. But she got to go down with Dad and Mom few times.
Sam and Nate always enjoy sledding. They are such good brothers.
And here is Fil going down with Emma. She was not so sure about it.
And here is Fil coming up with Emma. No surprise there that she wanted to be carried up.
And here is Nate and Sam after their super duper ride down. (They are fine by the way.)
Today was a big race at Awana. The GRAND PRIX. This year we raced for the first time since it is not for Cubbies but Sparks and up. The boys worked hard on their cars for few weeks with dad and here are the results. Sam won 3rd place in Sparks category. Nate race just for fun since he is in Cubbies. The race was a lots of fun especially for Fil.
The winners of Grand Prix 2007. (Sam is in a yellow shirt)
Nate's car. The rules are no help from parents which was very hard on me. But the boys did a good job. Nate was not officially in the race so he did not have a number so he put all the numbers on just in case.
Sam's car.
Joshua Litman and the boys. (Partners in crime (Awana).
You can see Sam's car in the finish lane.
And here is our Emma. She wanted a car too to race with too. (Or to suck on.)
You are not reading wrong. We are almost in the middle of February and we are so exited about this storm. We got full 3 inches of fresh snow and we call it the storm of the season. Pretty sad huh? Anyhow for those in Colorado let us enjoy our few inches :) As you can see the kids loved it.
Our summer beach toys work even in the winter. I guess a dump truck works with sand as well as with snow.
Emma loved going down the hill in our back yard with Daddy. She did not want to stop like her dad and kept asking for more.
Let's go people :)
