Class of the Week

It just so happens that Kaiden's class is the 'class of the week' this week at school. So what does that mean? His class is featured on their website, which can be found here. There's a note from Ms. Kim, and a slide show displaying all of the fun, and wonderful things he gets to do at OLP. Check it out!!!

Kaiden Turns 4!!! Kachow!

I can't even believe that my little man is 4 already! He is getting so big, and is such a sweet and loving little boy. We celebrated Lightening McQueen style, and he had a great party.

He got lots of new cars, trucks, and diggers!

McQueen cupcakes that Mom helped me decorate. It was like Cupcake Wars late on Friday night! Thanks Mom! Couldn't have done it without you.

Making a silly face

Chowing down

Ice cream anyone?

Happy 4th birthday to one of the sweetest little guys that I know. Mommy and Daddy love you so very much! KACHOW!!!!

SNOW DAY!!!

We FINALLY had a significant snowfall that the kids could get outside and play in. They couldn't have been happier!

Pretty little angel, all bundled up

First thing Madie did was run out and make a snow angel

Kaiden in the playhouse throwing a snowball at me

At least for right now, the small hill in our backyard is enough to suffice their sledding desires. I love how Kaiden has his tongue sticking out like Lightening McQueen!

Bobsledders!!!

1...2...3...Here We Go!!!

Hot chocolate with marshmallows after playing outside on a cold, snowy day is the absolute BEST!!!

Catholic Schools Week

The week of January 29th-February 3rd we celebrated Catholic Schools Week. The kids had lots of fun activities planned. Thursday they enjoyed breakfast with Daddy at school.

"I have a doughnut right here!"

Friday was school spirit day, so everybody wore red and black. We feel so very blessed to be able to provide our kids with a Catholic education.

Foot Buddies!

So, it turns out that both Larry and I are having foot problems! He went to the doctor and discovered that he has a stress fracture in his right foot, and I've been battling plantar fasciitis for several months now. In fact, I had an appointment today with the podiatrist and got yet another cortisone shot in my foot! That makes 3 now!!! I can't even begin to describe to you how that feels! Anyway, I got a kick out of comparing our boots when he came down last weekend. Hoping we both get better soon. Love you Lars!

Kealy Turns 2!

Miss Kealy Jeanne turned 2 yesterday!!! It's hard to believe how fast she is growing up! She acts like 2 going on 22! We celebrated Minnie Mouse style....

Silly Grandma...she made some Minnie Mouse ears!

Mmmm, cupcakes!!! Big thanks to my friend Teri for helping with the fondant!

I made her a Minnie Mouse fleece blanket.

Kaiden got a new Lightning McQueen coloring book from Aunt Reine!

Minnie Mouse Birthday Bow-tique!

All of the kids got new bath towels from Grandma Hayes

The laser light top from Grandma Bahr was a big hit!

Happy Birthday to Kealy!!!

Who needs a spoon for ice cream when you have 5 fingers???

Kealy had her 2 year check up today and got a good report. She weighs 23#12oz (14th percentile) is 32 inches tall (9th percentile) and is in the 50th percentile for head circumference! Looks like she takes after Grandpa Hayes! She and I had a great day together playing, reading, and we even took Max for a walk. After our nap we picked the big kids up from school, picked up some Sheridan's and then headed to the park. Loving this warm January weather!!!
