Red Neck Sledding...

The weather has been extraordinarily nice this winter and we have had a lot of melting on the side of our house. This has caused a nice patch of ice to build up along the driveway and the kids were inventive enough to put it to good use! :) Thank god - no broken bones and they had a blast!

King Kong!

The kids got a new train set for Christmas and they love it! I have finally learned to number all the parts so that I can put it back together after King Kong (aka Braxton) comes by and busts apart all the tracks... He loves to bang on the train set but it is definitely a pain in all of our booties! :)

Daddy Time!

Josh won the great daddy award the other night... Once again we had some sickos at our house and he volunteered to stay home with them so that I could hit the girls basketball game. As I was getting ready to leave he voluntarily told Bella that he would paint her nails - what?? She loved it and they had some good daddy/daughter time!

New Play Spot

Braxton has a new trick... While digging into the toy box he has a tendency to get a little off balance and slides right into our new toy box. I guess it works for him because he sat and played for a while in there and then just climbed back out - no problems for him! :)

Snow Day!!

We finally had our first good snow the other day and we were all super excited! We even got a snow day out of the deal and we got to spend some time outside playing and heading over to poop hill for some sledding. It was a great day!

Sebeka Wrestling Tourney

Sebeka had their own tournament a few weeks ago and the turn out wasn't so hot. This meant that Brody got bumped up a grade and ended up wrestling 2nd graders in his weight. During tournamnets they are grouped into 1st and 2nd grade so it was a good practice for that! He lost his first match but won his second so ended up with a 2nd place finish.

Birthday Girl!

Bella's birthday was an interesting on this year! We had planned her party with two of her cousins and she ended up being sick on that day. So, we had our own little birthday gift opening at home and celebrated with cupcakes on her actual birthday! In true Bella fashion she is trying hard to keep up with her older brothers and she wanted a DS for her birthday... Between that and her pink purse she got I don't think that she could have been happier! :)
