Coming Up

I can't believe our oldest has come to his baptism year.  He's been announcing his baptismal date a year early, for family and friends to mark on their calendars...I think he's excited.
 

The kids all shared in the "spoils" J brought home after the Stake Baptismal Preview.  J is so good to think of his siblings.  Obviously, they love their older brother.
 

 

 

Winter Camping

Our indoor tent barely holds our growing kids.
 

It was a tight fit, but the kids gave it a try anyway for the night.  It's an even tighter fit what with all the added blankets, pillows, and miscellaneous items our happy little campers packed for the camp-in.

B must have given up with the attempt during the night and found his own spacious bed to catch what little sleep remained for the night.  I would have done the same.
 

Sleeping Angels and Pillow Pet Rodeo

Moments from our everyday lives.

Sunday Snack & Chaocito to the Sippy Cup

Sundays are truly a day off for me as our meals are a little sketchy Sunday evenings.  C captured the moment and the last of the sippy cups for B.  It was a successful transition for us as B accepted a blue water bottle and started drinking more water.  Still B loves his cup of milk...it's his favorite food anytime of the day.  I had to regulate his consumption of milk as I noticed it was taking over his eating of his meals...he'd fill up on milk before eating anything else from the table.
 

 

 

 

 

 

Dad's Li'l Shadow

B loves to spend time out in the garage/shop with C.  B quietly slips out of the house whenever he knows C is working in the shop.
 

This is B taking care of his Sunday shoes one day...placing them beside his Dad's Sunday shoes.

Working with his gloves.  C picked up an interest in making puzzles with wire and such during the holidays.

The hobby was good to help pass the time as we waited for M during the long winter months.  Amazing some of the things C created.  I figured out one or two of the puzzles, but left most for C to show me how to solve...I didn't have all day to play with a puzzle nor the patience to figure most of them out.
