Reading Time

Maci takes such good care of Caleb. Caleb can say her name now and also calls her sissy. Caleb will read books in his "hair" and say up to read a "book". He repeats and is saying alot of words.

He screams no  loudly when he does not agree.

They like to have reading time in the morning together.

Trampoline Setup

The kids have been excited since Christmas to set up the trampoline. They have been waiting for warmer weather. Ryan was super patient and let the kids help him with the massive box and many pieces. They have already spent hours of time jumping!

Another Snow Day

We and had another snow day and we had fun playing outside for a bit again...

Grand Haven Road Trip

We went to see the lake and the big waves. It was so windy but fun to get out and get some fresh air. We stopped by the big choo choo train and Caleb was so excited to see the train up close. We went to Wendy's afterword and a nice couple complemented us on the kids and our family and gave us a gift card to Wendy's to use! We thought that was really cool.

January Days

We usually are pretty home bound on these snowy cold mornings. We like to take it easy and snuggle, read and color while listening to music. We eat lunch and then bundle up if its warm enough for some fresh air to wait for the bus with Maci. Caleb is able to say May,May now for Maci, Daadie, and where's big blue? (for the expedition that Ryan drives) Lugi for mario cart, not my favorite and apple are the latest. He picks up new words every day and is now almost  2 ft 11 in  at 18 months and weighs 26.5 lbs. 100 percent for height and around 80 percent for weight. He likes to try to be a big boy and get frustrated when he can't quite do what the older kids are doing.

Snow Day 2016

 We love snow days. Before the last snow day, I made a snow day a snow day supper with snowman plates and lots of marshmallows and chocolate to make a snow day come. Ryan likes to do snow day dances if there is a chance of a snow day and the kids laugh and laugh. It worked this time! Everyone was so excited. This past snow day was cold! But there is always time to go outside and sled and ride the 3 wheeler with dad.

Luke loves hot chocolate this year! Always with a straw and lots of marsh mellows.

                                          Caleb so upset to go inside and get off the 3 wheeler.

Maci ready to go! A good attitude playing with all the boys!

               

On another day, another sick boy, out for some fresh air and fell asleep.

The boys out shoveling. Luke was so excited when he found a heart shaped snow chunk. Look Mama a heart!
