Blizzard '010

Here is some of what we did!

Kai is growing up!

Kai's newest trick it sitting up on his new foam mat.

He likes to empty out his toy bag.

Max's 8th Birthday Pary!!

It's been 8 years since the day a tiny baby boy was born unexpectedly. Now look what that's led to: taking ten 7 and 8 year old boys to the Lego store and letting them go crazy!

All the boys (eventually) picked their kits and happily built away.









Our Lego helper was the best, and I think every Lego employee came by the tables at least a few times to talk to the boys and help out.






Max picked a new Atlantis Lego kit










The tiny tables actually worked really well. None of the pieces got mixed up and there were no fistfights or legos scattered over the floor. I guess I don't give boys enough credit.







Christopher's Grandpa (talking to Mark here) suggested the Lego store needs an adult lounging area.








Building away!



















At one point, it was really quiet, they were so into the building!

















Then cake at the food court!














Still messing with their Legos! No time for cake!

Happy Elf Day!!

Yes, it's Elf Day again!! Yea!! December 1st we always have a special dinner and watch "Elf" for the first time this season. This year our special Elf activity is gingerbread houses. We have a whole village!

Did you hear that?!















Mattie actually put more on the house that she ate! Success!
















My little perfectionist!

Plumbing Woes

Look at this mess. Good thing we have lots of WONDERFUL family to help!! Thanks to Dad M. , Dad Y., Jeff, Josh, and Tim!! You guys are the best!!

Fall is here!

Kai can roll over now!!

He gets his bootie high up in the air, then lets it fall over and uses that momentum to flip himself over.

He'll fuss on his belly, then flip over and smile at you. Hysterical!
