Long Winter; Short Days

Winter days always make me appreciate the summer. Our family thrives on long days and outdoor activities. I am sure any family with boys appreciates the ability to get outside and run off some energy. The Deegan and Taber last 5 minutes coloring, I hate arts and crafts and I try to limit screen time to preserve their little brains. These factors combined give me the gumption to bundle up and head outside any time it is over 38 degrees to get these boys tired. You would think baseball, soccer and gymnastics would accomplish this 6 days a week but it just is not enough! 

At last we have entered into spring! Daylight savings has run its course (why the hell do we still do that), the days are warmer and snow fall is less and less. I am so looking forward to summer! With that said, I better catch up on Winter blogging. 

Anytime Deegan is on break we must make a visit to his favorite pizza restaurant here in Castle Rock. Those 2 pieces are for him! He has turned a corner with food and is open to trying anything and when the kid finds something he likes he will eat a man sized portion! I am going to go broke on groceries soon!

I did a terrible job taking pictures of Christmas activities this year. Most of the ones I did take turned out blurry with all the commotion, too dark or just not flattering! Santa brought Taber a SpiderMan costume in hopes that he would prefer it over dresses. It seemed to work!

Eric and I look dog-tired ... maybe because we were! Its the best picture I have so it will have to do. 

Yup, still tired but we are happy!

My dad and I surprised Eric with a big present this year. We usually do not exchange presents but he had an amazing year at work, makes an effort to be with his family as much as possible and is just flat out the best. How could I not reward him?!

Spider man costume was all the rage until the Elsa dress was unwrapped! HA! If you cannot fight them, join them. 

After Christmas we headed to the cabin for snow time and ski lessons. Nothing like putting your kiddos in their first ever lessons when it was -22 degrees out. The air was frozen along with everyone's toes!!! They did great and I am certain I complained the most!

Cousin Brenden came out for the week and joined us at the cabin. My boys just adore him to the max. He is such a good kid and we are so proud of where he is heading. Clearly in this picture, Grandma Foo is just as excited (HAHAHA!)

New Years tradition with the Chapla's! Hard to believe we have been friends for 10+ years!

Playing footsy while eating breakfast and watching some TV. Brother love!

Deegans first day of baseball practice. He looks so darn cute!!!

No denying we are a Bronco Family. 

My life with boys. At a radio controlled RC track before a major storm. All three have their own cars. Super exciting for them, boring to this mama. I don't understand why we cannot get pedicures. That is FUN!!!!

This is how we roll on snow days! Movie cuddles!

Indoor soccer for Taber! He is gong to be really good. He is super fast and is not afraid to throw an elbow. I call him the tank which is hilarious because he is usually the smallest out on the field.
