Happy Birthday to C

C turns 3 today!! I can't believe he is already 3. We had a family party for him and he had so much fun. It was a horsey party and he has been talking about it forever. We got this gorgeous cake made by a friend and then brought all his horses downstairs, played pin the tail on the horse, bucking broncos, and had stick horse races. It was a fun night!
He got some great presents. C loved them all. He couldn't decide what one to play with first, the little people zoo or the horse Lego's. He's been wearing the horse backpack his aunt made for him too.

C blowing out the candles!

C has been in speech with Miss Jill and now that he is 3 he can no longer go to her. We were sad to end our time with her but now C will be going to an elementary school and having speech through the school district. His speech has come a long way since he has started and his vocabulary is amazing. We just need to work on his articulation. Everyone loves to be around C. he melts our hearts and has a way to make you laugh even when he's being naughty. Love you C!

It's Raining, It's Pouring!

There has been lots of rain this winter and we are sure loving it! C wears is boot almost everyday, raining or not. We even got hail. B and C were trying to eat it and collect it. Keep it coming!

Farrells

There was a day off of school and so we got together with our cousins and went bowling then to Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor. We always have a crazy time with our cousins!
My mom really wanted to get the "Zoo". So we did and we ate almost all of it. I thought it would be gross, especially at the bottom but it was actually really good. How could it not be...a big bowl of ice cream.

Want Some Bread With Your Butter?

C likes to say "Me do it!" So this is what you get when a 2 year old butters his own bread.

Snow Fun

There was lots of playing in the snow while we were at the cabin. I think it snowed everyday we were there. The boys got grandpa to help them build a snowman.
C loved to play in the snow and would do so weather he was dressed to play in the snow or not. He was great at sled riding and when he would take a break from sledding he would eat the snow.

B sledding.

A sledding.

Big B and I took A and B skiing this year. They did pretty well but I think next year we'll try ski school. We love to visit the snow but I'm so glad we don't live in it. It's always fun to go to the cabin.

Happy New Year (from the Cabin)

We headed to the cabin for New Years and this is how we got to the airport. My dad didn't want to drive us so he got us a limo. It was fun but not like we thought it would be. Too many car seats, kids and getting car sick. B had to throw-up. Luckily my sister was right there to catch it:)
This was D's first time on a airplane. She did great.

Here are the men trying to figure out the best way to let off the fireworks. Earlier big B and my brother drove to Evanston, WY to buy the biggest and best fireworks. They were good fireworks, as big as any other show you have seen.

Not the best picture of them but the were letting them off in the back of the cabin and we were all watching form the door. A good way to ring in the New Year, family and fireworks.

Christmas

This year we spent Christmas at home. (Well at my parents house.) This is the kids in their Christmas p.j's.
A and B got DS's, so this is what they looked like most of Christmas day. Santa gave everyone the WII so that was another place you would find them. Actually, that's where you would find Big B.

C got this big horse and LOVED it. His reaction in the morning was so dang cute. In the background you can see what Big B and I got. The whole family is now set up with bikes. I hope that becomes our family thing.

We aren't even that big of a family yet, compared to the Mathews side, but it is sure hard to get a good picture of all the kids. It was a great Christmas and we are so thankful for the wonderful blessings in our lives. We are a very lucky family!
