Our crew is excited to have the weekend here. We're all feeling great and happy to have friend and neighbor, Langston, over for a sleepover with the boys. It definitely called for some balloons so I gave Lucas the task of blowing them up!

Kaila has been all about showing us her tiny tushy big girl unders today. She's so proud of her new found achievement of being potty trained. We can't all help celebrate with every flush! I wonder when we can ween her off the tootsie roll potty prize for #2's?!

winter x games inspired

Owen was surprised by dad just before his birthday with a practice snow board and helmet, which meant Lucas got one too. Here's the future generation of winter x games atheletes!

he is really 6!

It's so wild to believe Owen turned six this week, we knew it would happen but wow what a blink. To an amazing son and big brother, "happy 6th birthday!" Even though the usual specially planned extras for school and daycare didn't quite make an appearance this year due to a serious sick bug that struck our house, he was sweet as ever about it. What perfect timing last weekend for some needed snow for the second annual tubing event and snow boarding practice! Gotta love a kid whose birthday dinner is Chinese over any thing else! He's graduted from vegetable fried rice to Mongolian beef and boy did he devour that food; it was like he had just turned 15 instead of 6. At the same time Lucas polished off 8 chicken nuggets. All Aaron and I could do was sit back and do the math for projected groceries. Yikes! Luckily for the moment Kaila off set the intake with her bird-like consumption!
