Raelan turned 4! Last year I was sad for her because she was sick on her birthday. And then this year she was even sicker! This is the sickest she's ever been, and it was very sad. She had low oxygen levels when I took her to the doctor so they did an x-ray to check her lungs. She had bronchitis and an ear infection.
She smiled briefly thanks to this glove balloon.
This girl loves lollipops so I got her the biggest one I could find.
Raelan's day was made when Grandma, Grandpa, and Autie Emily came to visit and brought her a new scooter and some popsicles.
I love this girl. She challenges me more than I could've imagined, but she brings so much joy too. She's so smart and active and strong. She knows what she wants and has a lot of passion.
We had a lovely Christmas. My brother came home to visit which is always exciting. The girls got completely spoiled and had so much fun. It was a relaxing and fun couple of days.
Ammon and I celebrated 6 years of marriage! Yay love. We went to lunch (Cafe Rio) and a movie (Passengers...so good!) and that evening went to a family game night with his family. It was a great day.
We got so much snow this winter. It was kind of magical sometimes but then everyone was over it pretty quick. We had multiple feet of snow. and shoveled soooo much. I helped push at least 10 cars out of the snow that got stuck, including mine and Ammon's. It was pretty dreadful. We were stuck at home on many different days, and I usually try to leave the house every day or I get a little crazy. It was rough. A couple of nights I went for night walks in my snow boots and I realized that I love the snow at night. And walking in the snow is a serious workout.
My favorite memory of the entire winter was when Ammon and I did naked snow angels. Hahaha! It was -10 degrees but we did it!
Back when you could still see grass in some places...
I built a pretty rad igloo. It was exhausting but I was proud of it.
The playhouse became inaccessible. Raelan is sitting on a tricycle. This was after the snow melted quite a bit because for a while the tricycle was missing...
We had a couple feet of snow on our roof and the awning above our front porch needed to be cleared off because ice was melting into the vent to our downstairs bathroom. Ugh. We cleared the snow off from our upstairs bathroom window. It was quite an event!
What a winter to be first time homeowners! I never thought I'd wish to live in an apartment but for a minute I kind of did. ;)
