Wiped Out!

Daddy Daugter Time

The first night the boys were tuckered, so we stayed behind while Matt and Nika went out. Matt said it was very special for Nika to spend time just with him and that she did not spot smiling the whole evening. They didn't get back until 11.30 pm. Wow. First picture is Nika on the Tea cups, Second picture is on the Carosel, and the Last picture is Autotopia.

Playtime

After work time we hit the park. On the top picture you see Christian playing with JD. We visited JD for the first time when I was pregnant with Christian. It is hard to believe now they are playing together at the park. In the bottom picture you see Matt and his cousin David swing the kids together.

Sacramento

Here we helped a little with some Yardwork at Matt's Uncle and Aunt's house. It was great timing. Two of Matt's cousins families were there too. Combined 11 Kids and 8 adults. The work went fast with so many hands.

A Bump in the Kitchen

Christian loves eggs. Well when they are cooked. He decided to help himself the other day. But don't worry he cleaned it up.

Mark your calendars!

Kyle's first birthday party is coming February 28th.

The second snow.

And then came the second snow and Christian getting the coup. Ahhhhhh. The coup is a scary thing. Now it was such a long time ago, I am little foggy on when during the second snow Christian got the coup, but it was exactly 7 days after Nika got it. But he got better, before the snow was gone and we made a killer sledding track on the driveway and even better Matt was home to play with us. I made be corrected, but I think the second snow fall was bigger then the first. I don't really know, because I never left the house during the first snow fall.

The first snow

Well we did get a lot of snow. The snow came at an inconvient time for playing in it. Nika came down with the coup the day before the snow came. So we had to keep her inside, and if we had let Christian go outside then she would get all upset. I don't know if it was fair. By the time she was well enough the first snow was melting. So here are pictures of what we thought was going to be the last of the snow.

First thing Nika did was set herself to making a snowman. I had no idea she knew how to make a snowman. After all she is only four and we have only spent time making a snowman once before. Nika and Christian made the whole snowman, with little help from me (I made the middle, set the head on top, and got the face stuff.)

Misc. Christmas Pics

Wish I had something novel to contribute about Christmas, but those kids have me wiped out. I will say though, I wish we had focused more on Christ than presents. Well, we live and we learn. Next year will be different.
