Owen turned 18months this month. He's becoming very vocal, trying to say so much, but really has learned to scream louder when he wants something. Pretty much has figured out that if he screams, 1 out of the 4 in the family will respond. He still loves trucks!
His latest love is for shoes. Any shoe, shape or size. He spends the majority of the day at the front entry walking around in everyone's shoes. I caught him in action trying SO hard to get Daddy's boots on.
Gavin is my go to camera guy. He loves to please his mama and knows he'll get a jojo in return for his great work. Here he is posing for his valentine pictures. Such a ham. He still spends most of the day outside, snowmobiling, skiing, sledding or puddle jumping.
Isabel is turning 7 in 29 days. I get the countdown daily, sometimes hourly. She is very busy planning her birthday party, and if things would go her way, she'd invite her whole class. Well more like the whole first grade. BUT she has to narrow that list down to seven friends.
She prefers to be behind the camera just like her mama. She will not take a picture for anything-not sure what I had to bribe for this shot, its the only picture I have of her in months! I'm working on that!Here is a school project she did. The kids all had to pick something they were good at, ie: sing, dance, write, bake, create, etc.. and the submit it to a panel of judges. She picked photography, this was all her idea, she took the picture and I taught her some photoshop tricks, this is what she came up with...
Its suppose to be like a talent show, except no show. There is an "art exhibit" night where you can see what the judges had to say.

All day long they come in and out, I'm putting on their hands and mittens at least 10 times a day.
My entryway is a salty, muddy mess constant.ly.
But I love seeing their cute little red cheeks when they walk into the warm house. I gladly greet them with a glass of hot chocolate, the warm fuzzies make me think how much I miss seeing green grass.

There were plenty of laughs when granny got a marshmallow shooter!
Lots of excitement and very little sleep, and just like that its all over!

I think we heard "how about this one?" eighty times, and finally came across this one!
Then we enjoyed a sleigh ride and sipped on hot chocolate, on a beautiful winter day! I felt like singing "Just hear those sleigh bells ringing..." ♪♪♪
Gavin got to hold the reins and say "Whoa!" as you can see this was right up his alley!
Another year of making Holiday memories :)
We are finally over the lets get five teeth at once.so.all.I.do.is.scream. stage-whew! He's moved onto bigger and better things, like
He went from a little waddle to a full on RUN, in a matter of days.
He LOVES to read books, play trucks, and wrestle his big brother. Did I mention he likes to climb, this is new to us, as the other two never climbed. I found him in his crib trying to climb out, and he was darn close. LORD help me... he will stay in that crib!!!
