Christmas 2011 - G

Christmas 2011 - S

Can't believe it's Christmas already! These guys are growing like weeds.

Gabe riding his bike!

Gabe and Ben have been working on riding without training wheels and he is finally getting the hang of it!!

Welcome to 2nd Grade!

I cannot believe I have a 2nd grader! This is just going so fast.








And we attempted a garden this year! I was really good about watering when they were in moss pots inside, but I was terrible about watering once they were planted on the side of the house (I never go over there!) and I pretty much forgot about them. Whoops! We did get a good size zucchini, and we have three pumpkins growing. We had a handful of raspberries, but no strawberries yet. Probably next year. We started some carrots, but the pots never dissolved (not enough watering) so they didn't have enough space to spread out. :) Anyway, here's how they turned out!

HAWAII

Okay, this is for the non-FBers. I don't want to overload the blog with 200+ pictures, so I am adding public links to the FB albums. Let me know if this works! They are all labeled and organized, I just don't want to do it again here! LOL

Spring Has (finally) Sprung!

Okay, I am grateful for the rain, but ready for some consistent warm weather! I know I will regret saying that when all of a sudden it's in the 90's, but right now I want to go outside without an umbrella. :) To bring on some Spring Fever here are the most current pics of the littles! I will add Hawaii pics soon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Valentines!

So we had a super fun Valentine's Day with the boys! We made sugar cookies to decorate and Ben sent me a gorgeous vase of flowers, and Elaine stopped by with an adorable vase of gerbera daisies which I love! The boys obligingly allowed me to take some Valentine's pics, which I think turned out soo cute.

We have an Awesome kid

Gabe lost another tooth! He was also named Student of the week for his reading minutes, and got invited to "Bug Lunch" with the principal because he had a smile on his face the whole day, from the minute he walked in the classroom. What an awesome kid!




If you look at the picture full size you can even see some little scrapes from where he fell on the ice Monday! He went down face first, and several hours and lots of vomiting later we ended up at the hospital getting a CT scan. He suffered a mild to moderate concussion but no serious after-effects, other than the vomiting. He had a slight headache the next day but seems to be 100% now! Grateful for everyone's thoughts, prayers and neighbors who came over to give him a blessing! (Ben was stuck at work in Salt Lake)
