A little circus came to town. We took the kids last night and they really had a good time. This was a neat trick. Under the costume is four people. Ani was a little surprise when she found that out!

Mom getting attacked
Ani and Ruston were picking chunks of snow from the side of the road since the snow was to dry to actually make a snow ball. They were BIG chunks!
little to no snow?
Yep this is what is looks like, about 6-8 inches! Were surprised when we woke up. We took the kids outside to play and ended up staying outside for a couple of hours. They decided to attack me with snow balls. Ruston even has snow frozen to his eye lashed and still threw a fit to stay out side. A little different than the ocean!
Miss Model
Ani posed for me for about 10 minutes and asked me to take her picture. I didn't post them all. This one captures the essence of it all. She is a mess.
Going home
My little man insisted on pulling this suitcase through the airport going to Florida and home. He would not accept help. He got so many looks and smiles. He didn't like Dad even carrying it off the plane for him. Mr. Independent. Great, like this family doesn't have enough of that already :)
Dolphins
On our way back from swimming we passed a school of dolphins. It was awesome. We even saw a little baby one. The kids were very excited to see them too. Ruston kept saying he say dolphins the rest of the way home!
You swim
Ani thought it was better if I swam and she rode. This was fine, except she kept trying to drown me!!!
Stubborn!
So in the family picture I said Ruston was sleeping. This is where he fell as sleep. Virgel and I went for a kayak ride and he was mad that he didn't get to go. He was pouting and wouldn't let Virginia help him with anything and wouldn't come out of the cabin. When she checked on him he had taken this floaty, his cup and curled up on the potty seat and fell asleep. That is stubborn! She did move him to the bed in case you were wondering.
Happy
We had so much fun. Ruston wasn't in this picture because he was sleeping. Too, bad because it would have been a great family shot!
Our friends
It is not often that you have a chance to meet and become friends with people that you have so much in common with and get along with so well. We have been fortunate to do that. Unfortunately, we not live so far away. We miss you guys and can't wait to see you soon!
My boys
Ruston attempted to empty the ocean one bucket at a time, but once full he poured it back in. I think there was a little flaw in his thinking!
My Man!
This one never stops smiling on the boat. I can't wait to go back for another trip so he can be on the water again. It is truly his heaven.
Ani Sized!
A a friends house Ani found the perfect horse! She wanted to take it home. Ruston kept checking out the full sized horse! The boy has no fear.
Big Moment
O.k this is Ani's first bikini - it could be her last. I don't think Dad and I are ready for her to grow up any more!
Kayak trip
Just a test drive. The new kayak with peddles is awesome. Much nicer. Ruston really enjoyed the trip. He was asleep by the time we got back!
Brad
Just as our little ones are growing so is Brad. This is Ani's Best Friend. They had a great time together.
A trip South
WAY South, back to the Keys for a little warmth and sun. We loved it and can't wait to go back.
More Christmas
Opa and Nanna's presents came the next day! Ani got a new Barbie - her face tells it all and Ruston got a fork lift truck that goes up and down and moves forward and backwards with a push of a button. The best part is it is really loud! Thanks Opa and Nanna! It is now one of his favorite toys!
