Kayla and Em's Party

Makayla and Emmalyn had their Birthday parties together this year.  They got to have a cowgirl party and they loved it! 

Sweet Birthday Girls

 Silly Kayla

 This girl couldn't take her eyes off her cake for a second.

 Spoons just slow you down I guess.

Makayla's favorite entertainment.

Lost Tooth

 Aiden is so excited.  He finally pulled out his first tooth (not counting the one the dentist had to take out).  He was pretty nervous at first, now he can't wait for more to fall out.  He already has another one that is wiggly, so it looks like it won't be to long before more are falling out and we have a toothless little boy!

Successful Hunting Trip

Mike took Aiden hunting the other morning with his buddy Travis.  They had a great time and shot quite a few ducks.  It was one of the best hunting trips they've had this year.  Aiden was so proud to be with the big boys.    They were all very happy to have a dog that was able to retrieve most of them so they didn't have to do all the work.  

Baby News

Baby #3 is well on its way now.  I'm just past 20 weeks and we got to have a little sneak peak at our little munchkin this past week.  The ultrasound went well, everything looks right on track to what it should be.  It's weighing in at 11oz already.  We did not find out if we are having a boy or girl, its going to be a fun surprise when it comes out.  The kids are very excited, Aiden is of course rooting for a boy and Kayla really want a sister. 

Sometime in early June we should meet this little peanut.  

Fun in the Snow

The kids were so excited to have snow to play in.  We have a big dirt pile behind our house that the kids love to play on, once it was covered in snow it was perfect for sledding down.

 Crash landing.

 Our dog was loving all the snow too.

 Dad running around with the kids.

 Here is a perfect shot of why we don't run very often around our dog.  For some odd reason he thinks when you are running he should be right in front of your feet.  Sorry to all the kids who learned that the hard way(Kausten!)  

The kids have had so much fun all week playing in the snow, no school, just lots of fun.

Christmas Cutie's

The kids were in the Christmas Program for church this year.  Here they are all dressed up and ready to go.

Aiden did a great job.  Kayla did ok for a 3 year old.  I think she only lasted the first 2 songs then was a bit up and down after that.  

Aiden's Birthday

Aiden wanted a superhero party this year.  He was so excited to be able to dress up for his party!

Spiderman and Supergirl

 Mike even dressed up.  He was the villain of the party.

 The Joker and Uncle Nate as 'The Flash'

We didn't buy Aiden a birthday present this year, instead we took him to Castle Fun Park for a day of fun.  He had such a great time practicing his slap shot, playing video games, mini golf and so much more.

 They even got to drive little boats.

Kayla's all time favorite spot of the day.  We spent a lot of time here.
