Swimming

Grammy and Papa Beeson came for a visit. While they were here we went swimming at the hotel they were staying at. Yes. I know, can you believe they didn't stay with us? Ok, maybe I understand a little bit. They need some peace and quiet after visiting with us all day. Anyway, the kids had a lot of fun swimming. The all time best was when Avery striped down to her birthday suit when she was all done swimming. Luckily there was no other people in there swimming. She is definitely our little nuddie!

Snow Day

The kids love to play in the snow. It is a lot of work for mom to get them in all the snow gear, but it is worth it for the 5min-1hr that they may play out in it. The kids love to put colored water in spray bottles and spray the snow. Wyatt loves to be outside but he wasn't into the cold and being all bundled up. Maybe next year.

Pancake Hearts

Jaxon's Lego Valentine box.

We have many Valentine traditions. Some of them are decorating the house with hearts, going to Jaxon's school for his party, and a candlelight dinner on grandma beeson's red dishes (we always have our heart-shaped pizza). The kids especially love the candlelight dinner. We need to do this more than once a year! We love Valentine's Day!

Look who turned 1 !!!

Wyatt turned one on January 29th. I think this year has gone faster than any other year. Our family has been so blessed by this little blue-eyed boy! Wyatt is a pretty laid back kid. I don't know if it because he is the 4th child and just has to go with the flow or if it is just his demeanor. He has the cutest personality. He loves his brothers and sisters. They love him also, sometimes to much! At the age of one, he has 8 teeth, has taken a few steps on his own, can go up and down the stairs by himself, can say ma ma, da da, ja ja (jaxon), ba ba (bottle), and Hi or Hello, loves to eat oranges, can kick and throw a ball, and loves his cars. Mommy loves when Wyatt wakes up from a nap or in the morning, he for the most part is happy and gives me loves. Wyatt gives the best kisses (even if you get slobbers and boogers with them). We celebrated his birthday on Sunday. Megan, Chad, Kennedie, Pyper and Marcus came over. Russ made fajitas and then we sang to Wyatt. He then blew out his candle (with help) and then ate his special cupcake. He ate the entire cupcake.Wyatt got a bath boat, ball, and a basketball hoop ( I don't know who is more excited about that Jaxon or Wyatt?). I can't wait to see what this next year will bring for our little Wy. Love you Baby!

In the Mountains

We spent this past weekend in the mountains. I loved the clean air and being able to see for miles! The weather was perfect! Thanks Kjars and Petersons for the great company, food, and fun! The kids enjoyed running around the enormous cabin! They played ping-pong, played card games, went sledding (the girls cried because they had to walk back up the hill, so mom ended up carrying them), and took a ride in the snowcat. It was nice to have a change of scenery in these long winter months!

Brynn's Ballet Recital

I love how she is trying to stand on her tippy toes.

She wants point shoes so bad!

Brynn and her pink roses that "I never had before."

That is Brynn saying in her not so subtle way "I want roses."

I just didn't want to forget about Brynn's cute Ballet Recital in December.I am just so proud to watch my little Boppy dance. She loves it and is always showing me new dance moves. I think she loved getting the flowers from her daddy just as much as dancing though.
