Life with Us

Colton is the happiest baby you will ever meet. He has the cutest dimples and the BIGGEST smile! We went to the children's museum for a preschool field trip. Emily and Logan could have stayed to play ALL day long. I'm good after about an hour!
This is Logan at the museum. Just last week we went to kindergarten orientation for him. Wow! He's getting so big. He can read simple words, write his name, letters, numbers, and even sound out writing words on paper. The kindergarten teacher who took his group commented on how cute he was. I would have to agree!
Uncle Nick & Andrea watched the kids for us one night. This was on the camera when we got home. They had a good time.
Aaron took the big kids geocaching one afternoon. This is the biggest geocache ever. The kids found all kinds of cool prizes. Aaron had fun using the 4 x4 on his Pathfinder.
Aaron's Boy Scout troop participated in Scouting for Food drive. This isn't all the boys in his troop but it's a good group shot of those who helped collect food for the needy.
I've been sewing a lot lately. This is my latest project. A Happy Birthday Banner. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. I'm going to make some to sell for a little extra money.
Colton is 7 months old now! He LOVED the balloons. He's such a cute boy. He says Dada and makes lots of noises. Kaya is quite good at getting him to imitate her and make funny noises. He's getting close to crawling too. He gets himself into crawling position and then doesn't know what to do. The time is going by too fast!

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!
