FINALLY... SNOW!!

They have been waiting... and waiting... and waiting...

and waiting... and WAITING!

Until FINALLY... SNOW!!

Oh Happy Day!!!

Stairway to the Crib?

Ryker came walking into my room carrying Trypten this morning. I asked him how he got him out of his crib and he said, "I almost dropped him, but I held on really tight and didn't!" That was my explanation?! So when I took Trypten in to change his diaper... this is what I saw!!! I then proceeded to call Ryker into their room and explain that although he did a good job not dropping Trypten... I don't want him to ever get him out of his crib again! On another note, genius, pure genius! LOL!

Portable Fabric High Chair

I saw these portable fabric high chairs on a blog (http://thismamamakesstuff.com/tutorial-this-mamas-fab-travel-chair/) last night and just had to have one for Trypten! So I whipped this one up really quick today. It was super easy and super fast to make!

Excited to use this (instead of those icky high chairs) next time we go out to eat! :)

It was a Very Merry Christmas 2011!!

Christmas Eve in their Christmas Eve Jammies!

Putting together Hungry Hippos. They have been wanting this game FOREVER!

You scored on that one Santa!!

I gave Stan a heated blanket... It was hard to get him off the couch and out from under it later! :)

Grandma and Grandpa decorated these notebooks with individual stuff that the kids love.

They were really excited about them!

Trypten was super excited to have his own mini cookies-and-cream candy bar all to himself!

It was a Very Merry Christmas 2011!!

Tree Gettin'

Last weekend we went up in the mountains to pick out our Christmas Tree. Trypten mostly hung out with me but went with Stan at first to make sure this tree was the "perfect" tree!

Then the other three boys chugged up to make sure too!

Trypten had his own ideas about what (or who) was going to get decorated this year!

And here's our beautiful Christmas Tree!

(Excuse the pan, Trypten likes pulling out the pans and whatever else he can reach in the bottom cabinets.)

Merry Christmas!

Ryker... caught!

I thought that the treats were safe up above the fridge...

until I saw this!

And because he's so dang cute and persuasive when he wants something...

I let him pick a treat... just because!

Ryker's First Day!

Ryker started pre-school last week. Here he is on his very first bus ride home.

I asked him how his first day of school was and he gave me a big thumb-up!

He also said, "It was awesome!" (In his most excited and theatrical voice.)

On another note... I forgot to take pictures of the kids all dressed up in their Halloween costumes! (Gasp) I might just have to have them get all dressed up and take an after Halloween one to post on here. Whoops!

These are the cupcakes that I made for Kyler and Corden's class parties at school on Friday. I thought they turned out pretty cute. Hope everyone had a great Halloween!
