birthday girl!!

Hi everyone! Once again it has been a while since I last posted. Go figure that life has been busy! So we have had lots of adventures lately. Once the ice was thick enough we took the kids out to the island behind our house. It was the kids first time out there and Ryan and my second. Usually there is to much snow to even bother but with the crazy weird weather we've had this year we were able to go. First we walked over to the beaver damn behind our house and we got to see a beaver in the ice right under our feet! Once he saw us looking at him he swam away. It was so cool!! Then when we got to the island we found some honey comb and and a tiny bird nest with a feather in it. We also found some chairs and tables from the 70's some good climbing trees and trees that the beavers have been nibbling on. It was awesome.
We were able to make it to the Malecha family Christmas and that was perfect. So many family members were able to make it and Gwendolyn was the life of the party. But really one baby girl and seven little boys...she was bound to be. :)
Gwendolyn is one year old today. I can't believe it! This past year has gone by so fast! We had plenty of ups and downs but 2011 definitely ended on a positive note. :) Well here are a few pictures! Happy 2012!!
