Snow much fun!!!

The boys have been busy enjoying all of the beautiful snow that we have been getting. Their newest phrase is "I love snow", which can be heard many times throughout the day as they look out the windows, despite Daddy's attempts to teach them to say "Snow, phtttt!!".
Here's Kyle, trying out his snow boot legs. "Do you really think that I can walk in these things, Mom??" They were funny to watch on their maiden voyage in all of the snow gear.

Brock takes it all in stride, at least while he's still in the house:).

"They put us out here and give us shovels. Do they really think that we can clear this whole drive??!?? It looks like a big job for little us!!"

"I would rather stand here and watch the snow fall.", says Brock.

"Well, this patch is clear. I think that's good enough for me.", says Kyle.

Brock, still watching the snow fall. This boy never stands still this long any other time. We can't tell if he's just taking it all in, or if it takes too much energy to move with all of his gear on:).

After watching Daddy run the snow blower and Mommy shovel for a while, they decided their time could be better spent. They disappeared into the garage, and returned with their bikes. "Need a push, brother?"

Then, another trip into the garage produced lawn mowers, or mini snow blowers, if your imagination is working well:). Kyle got right to work on the driveway, but Brock decided to work in the garage for a while. I think he was ready for a break from the elements.

"These darn snow drifts!! How's a guy supposed to get anywhere with all of this white stuff to deal with??"

Kyle decided that this path was just the right sized for his bike. He was right, until he tried to turn around:).

Another traffic casualty. Motorcycles weren't built for the snow, you know:).

A nice place to sit and watch.

Kyle showing off his multi-tasker skills, riding and mowing at the same time.

"Maybe this thing does work better if I just walk behind it."

Cute little rosy cheeks!!

Another rosy cheeked cutie!!!

I think Brock's just about finished. Either he's frozen solid, or just bored by it all:).

There's just nothing like a bundled up little 0ne, huh??

Crazy Boys

Kyle has a new dance move that I thought I'd share with you. Brock definitely thinks that it's a good move, but it's a Kyle original. I started this post last weekend, but got busy and didn't finish it until today (hence the probably date of last Sunday:(). The boys are both doing and saying such funny things - totally unprompted. Their little personalities are continuing to shine through, and we love every minute of it (although, it keeps us quite busy;).


Here are some of the funny things heard around the Leman household lately. And, might I remind you, these are the ones that they come up with all on their own - not the ones that they are repeating just after we say it. They definitely hear, and remember what we say, which can sometimes be a bit intimidating!!

Here are Brock's:

"Just a minute, Kyle" - I wonder who he's heard say this??

"What are you doing, Kyle?"

"Hello, Ruffie?? Hi!!" - as he picks up the phone for the hundredth time in a day and pretends to talk:).

"I need orange juice!!" - said with great desperation:).

And, then there's Kyle's:

"Mommy, where are you??" - as he randomly walks through the house looking for me. What I think makes this one so cute is the tone of his voice. He phrases it as such an important question:).

"I love you, Mommy." - This one I NEVER grow tired of hearing:).

When asked on the phone by Ruthie - was your dinner good??, Kyle responded "Yummy in my tummy!"

"Good Job, Mom!!" - not sure what I did to deserve this one, but I'm glad to know that they pick up on the praise that we give them, and are willing to give it back.

"I can hear an airplane!" - I think the boy has super sensitive hearing for airplanes, and also fire trucks, police cars, ambulances, etc.

At the dinner table the other night, Kyle turned to his brother and said "Mommy's proud of you, Brock." - Again, glad that they pick up on the praise:).

I'll try and be a better poster and finish up on some catch up pics soon!!
