March Updates

I made the kids wear some silly things on St. Patricks Day. We had a great day. We went to the parade downtown and then Blake took the older kids swimming.

Always nice when you can go to the park in March and not totally freeze!

Angela told me not to post Jasper with a purple coat on but hey that's all we had to keep him warm.

Owen is getting so big and doing things that just amaze us!

February Updates

We celebrated my moms "sweet sixteen". You see she was born on leap day so technically she was sixteen. Yep, I made her wear a crown.

The girls.

Her brand new CAR!

Owen ruining her brand new car.

Tessa needed a shot at it too!

Messy girl. She loves cake.

This was Valentines day. I know her hair is crazy!

Ignore the nudity.

Ella was beside herself with her gift.

She is so silly sometimes. She cracks me up.

All three together..ahh I love them.

OWENS 5!!

We had a lot of birthday fun for Owen's 5th birthday! On his birthday eve we took his friend Lance and went to Planet Play where we played games, rode the go carts, played laser tag, played mini golf, and ate pizza!! Then the next day on his birthday I took the kids to the aquarium. Ella's favorite part was the sharks and Owen's favorite part was the stingrays. Then we had our family over for cake and ice cream. Owen is such a fun loving crazy little boy. He is full of energy and spunk! He is very athletic and loves a thrill!

This is Owen on his first ski trip with daddy. Blake's exact words "he's got natural talent!" He was so proud.

I gotta say my favorite part was the otters. I loved them and really didn't want to leave!

Blake looked at this picture and said,"is that real?" I just laughed!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

This year we decided to go bowling then head over to a friends for some games and fun! We left Tessa with Grandma since she can't hack staying up late.

The kids had a good time.

I kind of take bowling seriously! Notice the shoes I'm wearing? I own those puppies thanks to my good friend Katie!

This is Ella. Not much to say other than they loved each other. The night consisted of Owen telling her she was beautiful and Ella asking Owen to kiss her at midnight. So funny.

CHRISTMAS EVE 2011

Christmas eve we always get new jammies so we always get a picture!

This year Grandma Linda spent the night with us.

Earlier that day we went to Alison and Dan's house. We ate great lettuce wraps and way too much sweets. Then we opened presents and acted out the Christmas story! Owen was a shepherd.

I was Mary. I can't remember if Alison was a shepherd or a wise man.

Claire and Ella were angels.

Anything Rapunzel Ella loves, so she is excited in this picture. Owen got a cars launcher and hasn't stopped playing with it.
