Cake Pictures of the Birthday Girl

Lots of Sledding!

The big kids have been really into sledding lately, with all the great snow, how could they not be!

Jacob and his friend Drew were even brave enough to snowboard down the driveway....not me though :) I'll supervise, thank you very much!

Happy Valentines Day!

We made some Valentine fun!

We decorated some yummy cookies. Kids loved it...I ate 3. Bad mommy!

And we had heart shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's, just because! It was a fun day with the kids. Jacob created his own Valentines for each of us, by dividing and selecting candy from his Valentine candy he got from his party from school. This was seriously an act of love for Jacob, because he really LOVES his candy!!! Very kind Jacob!

Happy 5th Birthday my sweet Sydney!

More Stitches....

Somehow Jacob split open the back of his had on the wood trim here at home.....No idea how he managed to do that. 6 stitches. But apparently the urgent care doc said he can play hockey tomorrow night...

He is looking super pleased....poor little guy!

Best Buddies!!!

In Jacob's kindergarten class his teacher asked these questions, and this is what he replied...

1.) At school I like to play with...Sam, West, TJ, and every boy in class.

2.) My favorite free choice activity is.... I like them all.

3.) My favorite part of the day is....being by my friend Nick (Pictured above)

4.) I want to learn...how to read.

These two have been around each other since they both could walk. They are best buddies!

Minus 1

Jacob lost his first tooth. He came walking up to the house with a funny look on his face. And he announced that he lost a tooth at school. (it was news to me that there was even a loose one).

He said he was eating an apple, it got loose, and he twisted it, and pulled it out. He said this all so matter of fact-ly. It was funny. He was very pleased that the Tooth Fairy was going to visit our house for the first time.
