Life Lately

Max celebrated 100 days of school. They had a party and he dressed up like he was 100 years old.



Crocker won a coloring contest at the local store. His prize was a gift card which he promptly cashed in for a gun.



Eli turned 2 and turned very mischievous!



Sheldon and Max went hunting with some friends and Max climbed this "mountain".



Crocker's preschool ended at the end of Jan. Eli and him have been having fun staying home with Mom.

 

Sheldon has been traveling quite a bit and the kids are always so so thrilled when he gets home!


Max received a Pizza Hut coupon for filling out his reading calendar. We went out for pizza and to see the Lego Movie last weekend to celebrate!



 Eli usually has 2-3 of his "friends" close by at all times.

Snow Fun

Sheldon was out of town during the big snow, but when he got home we took the kids sledding. He hooked up the sled to his truck and pulled the kids around. They had a blast! He pulled the 3 of them together and then each of the big boys had a turn by their self.

They had a great time and were so sad when it was time to come home!

Snow Day

We have had quite a bit of snow the past few days. Max has had one snow day and a couple of late starts from school. The kids were super excited about playing in the snow. They played out front for over an hour and then later in the day they played out back. Max was so mad at me yesterday when he got home from school and I wouldn't let him go out and play. It was only 5 degrees outside with a wind chill that made it -15 out.
Eli was not happy with me that he couldn't go out and play. He is getting over bronchitis and I just didn't want him out in it. I brought a little snow in and he was a happy camper!

Eli's Birthday

Eli had a fun birthday. We coked a big birthday breakfast, opened presents, played, had a picnic, and ate cupcakes.

Happy Birthday Eli!

Two years ago, Sheldon and I welcomed our 3rd son into the world. He is the perfect ending to our family. He is sweet and sassy, mischievous, and all boy.

We are blessed by him daily and are so thankful for him!

Christmas in TN -Day 5

Christmas Day was our last full day in TN. We had more fun seeing what Santa brought, playing with cousins, and celebrating Eli's birthday.

The kids were super excited when they woke up and saw that Santa came!




We ate a yummy breakfast and Uncle Mel stopped by to see the kids.


The kids decorated a gingerbread house and then Ryne and Avery worked on it when they came later in the day.

 

We had Eli's birthday party and he was so cute. He loves Mickey Mouse, so we had a Mickey party.


He was so cute while everyone was singing "Happy Birthday". When he realized everyone was singing to him, he got a little shy and had to turn and cuddle Sheldon.


We ate cake, the kids played, and we played a few games.


It was a fun ending to our trip!
