Winter hats

Aunt Molly sent the kids some winter hats. She did a really good job. They love them. Thanks Aunt Molly!

CTR ring!

Today Brooklyn got her second CTR ring. This is the first one I have seen so to me its a first. Apparently she lost the first one. She was so excited to have her own ring. I can't believe she is old enough to wear one now.

Look at that face! Priceless.

Playing out in the Yard

Friday we spent a little time outside. I got an itch to clean up my yard from all the tumbleweeds, leaves and stray branches. A couple hours later and I have 4 huge piles and nowhere to put them. We can't burn it in town and our van isn't big enough to haul them. There they will stay I guess until I figure it all out. Jer just loved telling me I told you so since he told me not to rake it up in the first place. Oh well. It felt good to do some yard work anyway.

The wind blew a million miles an hour but the kids still have fun playing in our last remaining snow pile.

Another Tooth!

Okay, I can't believe it! Brooklyn turns 5 this January 16th and she's already lost her second tooth. At this rate she'll be toothless by age SIX. Ahh!

She was so excited. We found her tooth box so she didn't put her tooth under her pillow. Its a cute little box that is pink with a little picture of a fairy on top. The tooth fairy left her money under her pillow though.

By the way does anyone have any ideas about what the tooth fairy DOES with all the teeth she gets?? I'd be interested to know.

Greeley Weekend

Jer and I had a free hotel stay we needed to use up soon so we thought this weekend would be great. We asked Jer's sisters to come with us but only Shayla was able to come. We left Saturday morning and spent all the afternoon shopping. After an awesome meal at a Lone Star restaurant, we checked into our hotel room and got ready for swimming. After all, that's the whole reason we go to hotels. The kids had a blast in the pool. We even spent the whole night hitting a beach ball around the pool with a kid that was there. Once we were pleasantly exhausted we went back to our room for much needed rest. Weekends like this only come around once in a while and boy was it needed.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year Everyone! We spent the night watching a scary movie, eating veggies and dip and just being together. We tried to make it to midnight but the kids both fell asleep in my room around 10. Jer and I got them in bed and decided we were tired too so there you go. Not so exciting but we still had fun. Hope you all did too!
