January 1, snoozing with Grandpa.
January 3rd, Johnson Lake in Idaho going ice fishing with Nelson's new ice fishing equipment. I kept it to 2 hours and made sure the heater was on in the tent. I don't love the cold. My kids thought it was fun but shocker...wanted to eat snacks the whole time. Nelson didn't warn me the ice would expand below us occasionally and sound like an earthquake or airplane underfoot. It's unnerving.
There was another group of people a ways away, otherwise it was just us.
Nelson digging the holes. It's so weird how it's green inside.
Evy and Nelson. Nelson has his fish camera on in the background.
We got a new computer so Coleman is setting up his "puter" just like Dad.
January 13th, we had to spend some time in Salt Lake for Nelson's doctor appointments so we took our kids to the Aquarium to make it a little fun. This is Coleman and Winston.
You can't see but there is a ladybug on Nelson's back. I took it as good luck since he's had health issues but that is another story for another time...and since I am the author of my own blog I am going to pretend all is well. Wouldn't that be nice if we could write our own storyline in life?

We watched the 4D movie about prehistoric water animals. Scared the crap out of my kids but I was sure entertained.

January 20th, Coleman's 3rd birthday! He wanted a pig party. We couldn't figure out why but I obliged. I'm not the best at making cakes mmmkay.
Evy and Coleman stuffing his piñata.
Coleman and his gun. This guy loves guns, swords and bows.

January 26th, Coleman got his tonsils out. He did really well! He learned to hate medicine but he would feel so much better once I got it in him. I had to bribe him with treats.
Coleman eating a popsicle after his surgery. He barfed it up later but oh well.
January 29th, Evy experimenting with her new makeup. She was going for the "Mulan look" here she says.
