Kids....again.

Today, out of the blue, Dreyton come up to me and said "Mom, yours and dads love meter is always on full, isn't it."

Then today, while Dora the Explorer was on Dreyton picked up on something that Dora was saying and said
"Mom, did you know that alligators can't move when they get cold?"
I said "Nope, I didn't know that."
He said "Yah, that's why they make shows like this...for babies and for moms like you to get smarter."

Sledding

We were finally able to get in a good sledding day, and it was SOOOO much fun!! Anytime we get out and have a famly day is fun though!! The boys are at a perfect age!! There is a good sledding hill only a couple blocks from our house so it is perfect!

Every time Dreyton went down the hill, he came back wanting to go faster and faster. I wish I could freeze the smile he had on his face.

Jace spent most of the time eating snow, once again. He went down the hill a couple of times, but nothing beats eating snow I guess. He was as happy as can be! (and yes, that is duct tape around his gloves. I have to duct tape his gloves and boots on otherwise he takes them off and wants to run in the snow in barefeet with freezing cold hands)

The best shot of the day. Dustin was going way too fast and wiped out on this little jump. He layed there for a while saying he was in pain, but it must not of hurt too bad, cuz he did it again.....and wiped out again.

Dustin's B-Day

Dustin's B-day was soooo much fun! I think once you get older, you only celebrate birthdays for the sake of the kids. They LOVE it!! I wanted to let Dust sleep in, but Drey kept walking past our room letting out loud screams. Every time I'd tell him to be quite, he'd just start jumping around and saying"I just can't help it!! I am sooooo excited." The boys had hid Dustin's presents around the house but the second that Dustin woke up they both ran in different directions saying "One present is over here dad!" and "Dad I got you a hat and it's hiding in the dryer!". It was so funny!

Jace thought he was being sneaky and decided to hide in the balloons, many,many, many times during the day.

I LOVE this picture. Of course we had to have our traditional candle race. My family did it all growing up and it was always so fun. All three of them sat like this through the whole race! Dreyton came out the big winner.
Jace was so excited to help decorate! I had to get a shot of him next to his decoratoins that he was so proud of.

Dust and Drey with a couple of the presents. Jace INSISTED on getting him that hat and Dreyton was sooooo excited to buy Dustin his very own lightsaber so that the two of them could fight together "and dad can quite using mine."

Feel Good Moment of the Day (not really)

This morning, as I was getting the kids breakfast, I had both kids yelling at me.
"Mom! I want marshemello matties!
"Mom! I need a spoon!"
"Mom! I need a cup!"
"Mom! I changed my mind and want frosted flakes instead!"
"Mom! I need more drink!"

Frustrated I said "C'mon guys! Quit yelling! I'm doing the best I can!"

Jace's response ..."Well, mom, your best is really bad!"

Thanks kid. If it would have come from anyone older than a two year old, I might have felt bad. But it was kind of funny.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUST!!!

I know this is a couple days early, but since I don't know if I'll get on the computer from now until then,

then I thought I'd post something right now.

I just want to wish my cute hubby a happy birthday. I don'tknow what I would do without you in my life!! Thank you for everything you do!!

Look at that cute little boy!!

Sleepovers

Just thought I'd post a picture from last weekends sleepover. Dreyton and Zach always have so much fun with each other. Jace thinks that he is as old as the other two, and thank goodness they are nice enough to letting him tag along.

Jace still calls his colors by names (Greg means yellow, Murry means red, Antony means blue....) and Zach didn't know this, so when Jace said "Is dat Greg car faster than the Murry one?" Zach looked at Jace in amazement and said "Wow! He knows baby spanish!?!" I thought it was so funny.

Another Year

Thought I'd make a quick update. We spent New Years Eve in Delta and had so much fun! We stayed up late playing games, talking and laughing. It is always so fun to get together with family!

The boys were sooo excited to get a Delta sweatshirt from G & G Rowley. And they were even more excited to get some hunting boots! I am wondering what they are going to do when summer roll around. I'm sure they will still be wearing them with their shorts.

My cute little nieces, Megan and Abby.

Here is an action shot of Megan jumping into Abby's arms.

2009!! Welcoming in the new Year!

Brooklyn is so dang cute. Everyone loves to make her smile!

A shot of the Larsen cousins that were able to come. Of course Jace is crying for the picture. 10 seconds before and after the picture he was all smiles.

How cute! Grandpa Rowley showing D and Jace how to use his new scope (is that what it is called?)

A shot of the Rowley cousins. It wasn't easy, but we did it. Grandma Rowley holding them in on one side and Dustin on the other.
