Playing Catch Up







A friend of ours took some pictures of the kids a while ago. Group shots are almost impossible now a days, so it's safer to go with individual pictures.








I never even documented Mileys first B-day! We can't believe how fast the year flew and now she is walking around with a mind of her own already! We made pizza for her b-day dinner which was good, but no one seemed too excited about the organic gluten free cake and icing I made. Miley just picked around at it and only Coleman ate his whole piece. I guess that was okay since I made it gluten free for him. I really didn't think it tasted too bad!!




Caden is a snow shoveling machine! Any time it snows, he is right out there, wanting to be like his Dad. Dad shovels the front and Caden is responsible for the back patio. I have to say, he does a pretty good job for a five year old.

I can't believe it's the new year and the kids go back to school in a couple of days. The break has seemed like forever, but in a good way. I've loved having no where to go in the mornings and just hanging out. Chad has actually been around the whole time and I don't know what I'm going to do when he is gone next week monday through friday! Chads parents came to visit and were with us on Christmas and it was nice to have them around. They entertained the kids, made them cookies, took them to Target, and took them outside to play. It kept the kids fighting to a minimum. I was terrible at taking pictures, mostly because I didn't want to stress about it and just wanted to actually watch the kids open their presents etc... But also my camera is not doing well. It seems like no matter what I do, the pictures are not turning out like they used to. Chad says it's because I may have dropped it one too many times. Even though I have no recolection of dropping it, it may have very easily happened. To say I'm a "little clutsy" is an understatement.
