Mentos and Coke

Mimi and Papa got Kiera the "Geyser Tube" for Christmas, which is a contraption that releases Mentos into a two liter of Coke after the string is pulled. It's a trick that's been done many times before but it never gets old! 

 Setting up...

 The aftermath...

 After the explosion, Kiera used the 

single scoop ice cream scoopers to enjoy a

(slightly minty) Coke Slush!

Life Lately

Snow much fun! 

Girl Scout World Friendship Day 2017

Anna, Kiera, Jess and Mena representing Japan...

love the chop sticks in their hair!

Though it's February, the Christmas Cactus is still in bloom!

Warming our "paws" by the vent! This is one of Brooke's fave 

spots to lay.

Horseback riding with the Girl Scouts

Found this gem of a wreath at the thrift store and knew it would

look great in Kiera's room...I didn't know it would also look so cute

framing her face. She's such a goofball!

Let it Snow!

Earlier in December, we had a decent snow (and even a snow/cold day!) so

we played out in the snow for a little bit. 

Brooke the Snow Dog

Our girls love the snow. And each other. 

Sledding

Little Sis, Big Bro and Big Mama went sledding...Big Daddy was too busy working but was there in spirit. 

Rosy Cheeks and White Snow

It "warmed" up a little this weekend (from single digit degree temps to the thirties) so Kiera and Brooke had a winter photo shoot. Look at those rosy cheeks and all that white snow!

 Brooke mid-yawn...Tired of the camera already?
