Soccer!!

Logan has been playing indoor soccer. He's a natural and seems to really enjoy it. Here are a few photos and a video clip. He's the one in the orange shorts!

Sewing Projects

Kaya wanted a green skirt for St. Patrick's Day. I found this fun (and inexpensive) fabric. I even had enough to make a coordinating skirt for Emily. Not bad for $6 and a couple of hours sewing.

Cutie Patootie

Colton sits up on his own now. (He'll be 6 months old next week) He likes to reach for the things hanging from his mat and play with toys on the floor. He also has the cutest pouty face! This is his "I'm trying not to cry" face. He's just so cute!!

Snow Much Fun

The kids love playing in the snow. This wasn't a very impressive storm, but it gave us just enough on our day off to go play. This was Colton's first experience with the snow and he didn't really know what to make of it. He fell asleep while we took turns sledding. At least he was nice and warm! We have a picture like this for each one of the kids - in the same green suit!

Growing Up

Kaya lost another tooth. It has been loose for some time and Emily accidentally knocked it with her head on Saturday - ouch! Throughout the day Kaya wiggled and twisted it. At one point she went into the bathroom and just pulled it out. What a brave girl!

Big Day for Kaya

Kaya got her ears pierced today!! This was the reward she chose to stop sucking her thumb. She was really excited and nervous. Kaya picked out a pair of purple birthstone earrings. She did great and we're proud of her. #1 for consciously breaking her habit #2 for being such a big girl while getting her ears pierced.

Here she is getting ready. She was pretty nervous. She was all smiles once it was done. Emily had fun while waiting. Logan found some fun accessories too!

Updates!!

I have 2 kids gone and 2 kids are asleep. Can I get an update done in less than 27 minutes? Let's see what we can do!

Here is Colton sporting a cute hat. It's still a little big but it sure brings out the blue in his eyes! Aaron's Boy Scout troop got the Year Round Camping Award. That means he camped 10 out of 12 months last year. He's on track to do it again this year. Logan's preschool took a field trip to the dinosaur museum. Always a fun place to visit.
Kaya got hit with the influenza B flu virus. Bummer. She was out of commission for 8 days. Thankfully no one else in the family got sick. Here was one of her sick days. Emily sat down with her and fell asleep. Grandma & Papa would be happy to know their green chair is well loved.Colton is 5 months old! He is starting to sit up really well. He likes to reach for toys put down in front of him. He LOVES rice cereal. He has to have his blue blanket to go to sleep. I put him down on the couch one morning to do something and came back just a minute later and he was asleep. He likes to make raspberries and he is just the cutest thing EVER!! We had a fun Valentine's Day. Do you think Logan would like a cookie to go with all those sprinkles?
