Easter

We painted the house!

This was the Passover Meal awe created for our YW one night.

BIG BOY!

Jimmy can officially ride a two-wheeler! It's always so cute to see such little guys on bikes! He's the exact same age Robbie was--one month after turning 4! So proud, Jimmy!

 Ty built this for as his Valentine's box.  He did it all by himself.

 My parents got us a Whirley Pop for Christmas; Rob makes kettle corn every night!

 Dad coaches filming

 Rob was having a horrible week. I bought him some IBC Rootbeer and put this note in the fridge. Here's some "rockies" he CAN "tap." He laughed and it totally helped!

 My friend has a clothing company and designed these shirts. Love it! I am a STRONG MOM!

Just another day--my poor fridge after the boys touch it! So gross!

Sunday Explorers

Our family walks the past few Sundays have turned into major exploring expeditions! There are woods by our house (that they are tearing down to build homes) that Rob would always take the boys antler hunting in. We thought we'd enjoy them a few more times!

Grandma Haas came to visit in February! We took the kids rollerskating--they've been addicted ever since! Wednesday is 99 cent night, so Rob takes the boys while I'm at mutual. They even have us move the cars out of the garage to turn it into their own skating rink.

Went to Cabela's for a little shooting!

Fun in the snow!

My mom sent me my old prom dresses. It took me two minutes to get it over my hips, BUT...it still fits!!!

For Valentine's Day, we decided to make our own fancy food and do it with the boys. I made flourless chocolate cake that was AMAZING! And the boys got heart pancakes before school!

Jimmy is seriously the sweetest little boy! VERY talkative! He says the cutest things! He always wants our full attention. If I'm not looking at him while talking, he grabs my face to look him in the eye--EVERY time! He has a heavy conscience and likes to please and help. With his friends, he is really bossy--his way or the highway. The funny thing is that he is almost always the youngest of his friends, and still, they listen to him. They just follow him around, doing his bidding. When he was sick and had his neck stuck to the side, his little friend Hudson followed him around, his head stiff to his shoulders, too! Haha! I guess Jimmy even makes that look cool!

The other day he was showing me something he could do. He said, "Mom, watch this the WHOLE time!" Then he said, "Are you oppressed?" Love this stage where his words are not quite on!

He prays over everything. Waiting for an elevator, he knelt on the ground and started praying it would hurry and come. On our way to Florida, he made us all be quiet so he could say a prayer. We asked what he was praying for. He said, "To learn how to get places faster!" We all busted up laughing! So sweet!

Jimmy!

Jimmy's FOUR!! Can't believe it! He was actually sick on his birthday, but he's such a sweet kid, he just cuddled all day. Loved it!

Ty bought him a Fart Gun! How disgusting and obnoxious, right!? It was his favorite gift. Go figure!

For his party, we sent the kids on a scavenger hunt to find the pinata.
