January Fun

January was a little calmer month. Luckily, we got to spend time hanging around the house and relaxing, which isn't a very common occurrence for us. There wasn't much snow, so we even had some outside time.

Seth loves dressing up!

Ty, Savannah, and Bentley stayed with us for a whole week. And Bentley loved playing with the boys.

Not sure why we got ice cream, but we always love stopping at Handel's.

Mom and Dad went on a date down in Provo.

We even had an at-home learning snow day! It was exciting! 

Seth and Mom get to hang out lots together.

Seth and Mom went on a date to the train show.

We were amazed at the Lego train set.

Seth even got to make a tree for his own train display.

Mom and Dad love going to the Hale.

One Sunday morning the boys and Mom walked down to the edge of the lake to see if there were any ice stacks. There weren't, but we still had fun walking on the ice and exploring around the lake.

All of the plants were very frosted.

Seth found a long string of ice.

We walked on the ice just a little bit.

The pieces of ice were so pretty.

Dax took this fabulous picture.

Mom loves spending time with her boys.

Seth and Mom also went down to Dripping Rock.

And checked out a new park!

Ice Castles

We love the Ice Castles.

Every year we get to visit the Ice Castles for the blog! And every year we love seeing what they have created. 

This year, the castle was huge!

There were more tunnels than usual, too.

Mom and Dad shared the ice throne.

Seth enjoyed the slides the most.

The centerpiece was a pretty fountain.

While we walked around the Ice Castles, Mark was in St. George at a baseball camp. He rode down with his best friend and had a blast despite all of the hard work they put them through. We missed him a lot when he was gone!

Mark sent me pics every once in awhile as an update.

Mark and Will having a blast!

Bald Eagle Drive

We went for our annual bird drive! We love heading down to Sanpete County, Dad's old stompin' grounds. Mark drove for a good portion of the drive down to get some driving practice, so Mom got to ride in the back with the other boys. She had a great time back there.

Mom had fun riding in the very back.

We spotted a couple of pheasants running around Fountain Green.

We saw a lot of bald eagles. In fact, the most we have ever seen. There were bald eagles all over, but the best sighting was a Great Horned Owl. Mom magically spotted it on a side road, and we sat and watched him for a really long time.

The boys all took turns using the camera, and between the 5 of us, we got a lot of great pics of the birds.

Our drive always ends up at Roys Pizza! We had a great lunch and even got a family picture. It was a great day!

We spotted this eagle first and he peered right down at us.

Bald Eagles all over the electrical poles.

The owl is camoufloged so well. 

He slept the whole time.

In one spot we found 8 different eagles. 

Majestic!

Mark is taking after his mom with photos.

This is the pic he got.

We spotted these two on the way home.

We love Roy's.

This was the last bald eagle we spotted. Right by the road.
