That time of year....

I know some of you are going to think that I'm crazy with the following sentences, but it's true...
I kind of like this time of year!
I know, many of you have cabin fever and are SOOOO ready for Spring...and don't get me wrong, I LOVE Spring, but I also like this time of year...
Time for hibernation...
Time for playing games...
And cooking BIG meals...
Time for afternoon naps....
It's after the holidays, everything as slowed down.
Right before the madness of spring starts to rev up.
Ball
End of the school year madness
Birthdays
Roping
Fairs
This is the last time we are just US for a very long time, so instead of wishing for Spring...I'm going to cuddle a little closer and enjoy this time a little longer...
Remind me this the next time I'm growling about this cold and yucky weather:).

The love of a good dog!

On one of our snow days, the kids wanted to go jump on the trampoline. They thought it was a bit chilly, so they put on their slippers. They were having the time of their life and apparently Kodiak wanted in on the fun. He came barreling onto the trampoline and had lots of fun jumping with them. The kids are 1/2 afraid and 1/2 in love with Kodiak. He is HUGE and playful and he is still a puppy with puppy ways, but packs a big whop! He still likes to nip and jump, which Emma is not fond of b/c he's twice the size of her!

Emma and Kodiak hanging out.

Colby and Kodiak doing some kind of karate move:)

Kodiak trying to talk his friend, Runt, into trying it out.

This is what the kids play when Kodiak isn't on the trampoline...notice their slippers. What a bunch of goons!

Buccaneer Bay Party
