Matt or Cookie?

Everytime Matt comes home Parker says, "Cookie? Cookie?" It is so cute. However, I can't figure out if Parker thinks Matt is the only one who will give him a cookie or if he just thinks Matt's name is Cookie.

Cold January

Well, January is here and it is COLD! MaKyra was out of school yesterday because of the cold. I think she was sad when she realized I still had to clean the house before play. She was really sad when I informed her it would go faster if she helped. A day off of school and you have to clean. It seems wrong, doesn't it? Gabe had his first day in his new preschool class yesterday. It was so cold my car wouldn't start. Luckily my mom came to the rescue. She took him to preschool. This smile never left his face.

Holiday Fun

We spent Christmas Eve with Matt's family. We had plenty of kids to put on a great Nativity. The boys all wanted to act like ninjas instead of sheperds but we got it worked out.
On Christmas day we headed to my mom and dad's house. The kids were every excited about their new snow clothes. The kids helped Matt plow my parents drive way and then Matt pulled them behind in their sled. It was a lot of fun.

Happy Birthday MaKyra!

Flour Boys

I filled a container full of flour yesterday - five pounds. Today Parker dumped it on my floor. I was folding laundry in my bedroom when I realized Gabe and Parker were having too much fun together. They were both laughing. (Usually Gabe is laughing and Parker is crying) Atleast they were playing nice together. I was ready to pull my hair out and then decided to laugh instead. Needless to say, my flour is going to find a home on a higher shelf. Kristin - this picture can go on your "scared to have a boy list."

Candy Train

Every year, my mother-in-law has the grandkids come and make candy trains. It is a lot of fun. I love helping. Well, mostly I like trying the candy.

Kyra's Smile

All I want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth

Well, MaKyra only needs one front tooth, but I don't know a song about that. She lost her tooth the day we got back from our trip. We tried to get her to pull it in Kansas but she just couldn't bring herself to let anyone near it. She did let me pull it at home. The tooth fairy came and left $2. I never got that much for a tooth. I guess we took inflation into consideration. I would post a picture of her "new" smile but I lost my camera. I haven't really looked for it. Hopefully Parker didn't throw it away. He likes to do that.
