Today Colby, Chanley, and I made Valentine's treats to give to our family and friends. We made a huge mess but had a lot of fun. We dipped pretzel sticks in white chocolate and rolled them in sprinkles and baked heart and X's and O's cookies. We are letting them cool right now and will put icing on them later. Here are some pics from our messy morning.
This was Chanley's contribution to the treat making:
Sunday we took the kids to Jump Zone for Peyton's 3rd Birthday Party. They both had a great time and were completely worn out when we left. Peyton got lots of cool gifts. We got him some shark swimming trunks, a Dr. Seus book and Cat in the Hat stuffed animal, and some new Spiderman underwear. Here are some pics:
I could not help sharing with you what Colby said to be today. He is so smart and is constantly amazing me with his comments and "little wisdom". So we were on the way home from Target when he says to me.....
"MaMa?"
"Yes, son?"
"Jeniah (a little girl who stays at his NaNa's house sometimes) had to go to the doctor today because her has been loosing pounds."
"Oh, really? Is she okay"
"Yes, she's okay. She has to eat all her nuggets from now on though. Hey MaMa?"
"Yes, son?"
"Am I loosing pounds?"
"No baby you are DEFINITELY not loosing pounds."
"Oh yeah....I'm WINNING pounds because I eat all my nuggets everytime."
"Yep baby that's it....your WINNING pounds."
Life in the eyes of a 5 year old. Oh how simple and oh how sweet!!
Just wanted to wish each and every one of my blog readers a very Happy New Year for 2009. I pray that this year brings all you hope for but most of all finds you happy, healthy, and with God in the center of your lives. We love you all!
Well it is official....our first born is now 5 years old! Colby had a fun packed week to celebrate his birthday. On Tuesday December 30th at exactly 8:40am Colby turned 5. I had a really hard time with this birthday because 5 sounds so old to me. I still felt like when he was 4 he was somewhat still a toddler (although not in size)! Tuesday morning Colby woke up to birthday cards, balloons, and presents. He got a Spongebob game for his Wii from Daddy, Mommy, and Sissy. He got donuts for breakfast and then we picked up Dakota and Montana and all went to Jump Zone to play. They played hard for over an hour and then we headed to Larry's for pizza and games. He had a great time with his cousins. Chanley was right behind them pretending like she was 5 too! We had his actual party last Sunday at....can you guess.....JUMP ZONE. Yep it's his fave! Thank you to everyone who came and celebrated with us. His Batman themed party was a hit and definitely wore us all out. I couldn't decide which pics to use so I decided to make a slide show so I didn't have to! Here is a list of just a few of the gifts he received:
* LEGO Batman for Wii
* LEGO Indiana Jones for Nintendo DS
* Gift cards
* Monster Truck game and sterring wheel for Wii
* Walli blanket and toothbrush
* Batman wings and Spiderman web shooter
We had an absolutely wonderful, fully blessed Christmas this year. It was full of chaos and I loved every minute of it! The kids haven't stopped smiling yet and we just watch with amazement. I can't write the full post that I want right now so I will leave you with a sneak peak pic and promise to post all of our fun times really soon!! Hope you all had a blessed Christmas!
