Look who turned 3!

 I can't believe my baby is 3!  He is getting so big.  I feel a little guilty because we didn't really have a big party for him, but he was happy!

 We finally saw FROZEN and we LOVED it!  Can't stop singing!

Waylon is such a fun kid.  He loves me so much and is such a mama's boy.  He gets a little anxiety when I leave him, and I am hoping that he will get over it.  Waylon loves to play with his brothers and sisters and seriously loves them so much.  He loves to play the ipad and watch movies and pretend he is a ninja.  Love you buddy.  Glad you are 3!  Happy Birthday!

Annual Christmas Sing

 Calin looks thrilled to be singing Rundolph! 

 Jane wouldn't smile or sing and looked absolutely miserable!

Ike was singing loud and clear and was all smiles! 

Cabelas Santa

We have tried to go see Cabelas Santa every year!  

The kids have loved it!

Jane asked for a ipad mini and Ukelele

 

 Waylon wasn't too sure, but he did sit on his lap with Jane!

 Calin asked for legos!

 Ike asked for a guitar, so he could quite piano lessons! 

Blue Belt

Once again Calin passed off another belt test and is now a blue belt in Karate.  He loves it and is so cute.  I love going to watch him test and sparring matches.  He is always one of the smallest boys and usually ends up sparring with a giant girl. 

Grandpa Ike's Christmas Party

We had a fun Christmas Party with Grandpa Ike and Carol.  Grandpa sang a song for us and told us stories of growing up.  Uncle Todd had put together such a fun slideshow.  It was so fun to see all the family!

Storytelling Festival

Jane entered the storytelling festival at school and won for her class.  She had to then tell it in front of the entire school.  She did such a great job on telling the story of "The Coyote Who Swallowed The Moon!"  So proud of her!

No more diapers here!

We are so excited about this big milestone, Waylon is potty trained!  He even makes it all night being dry!  We are so happy!  This guy is growing up big.  We love you buddy!

Horseback ride

We bought two new horses we wanted to try out.  We all went for a ride with Grandpa O and Uncle Todd to Faust to ride.  It was pretty eventful.  I got bucked off, or fell off, my horse, Ike's horse tried to roll while he was one it, and Cal's horse had a mind of it's own and wanted to go and run anywhere it wanted to.  Oh and Waylon fell asleep on the way back to the trucks on the back of Jane and Grandpa had to help hang on to him.  It was a fun time.  It's hard to tell from this picture if it was warm or cold, we are all randomly dressed (haha)!

O Christmas Tree O Christmas Tree...

 

We got to cut down a Christmas tree this year with Grandpa and Grandma Shelton.  We had such a fun time tromping through the snowing looking for the perfect tree!  Waylon missed out on the excitement cause he fell asleep in the car and grandma stayed with him!  Can't wait to get home and decorate it!

Weekend Getaway

Adam and I got to spend a little time together with some friends at a cabin this weekend.  Adam had to do a little work, but I had so much fun getting to know Shalena and Jake!  We had such a fun time together. 

Big Guns and Army Trucks

 Grandpa O took Calin and Ike to shoot big guns and look at army trucks.  The had such a fun time!

Thanks Grandpa O!

I don't know But I've Been Told Calin's turning 6 years old!

 Calin wanted an army tank birthday cake.  I did my best!  Thank you pinterest and aunt Katie!

 He had a friend party!

 Make a wish!

 Grandpa and Grandma O came to celebrate!

 Chad, Katie and their kids and uncle Joe!

 Calin is getting so big and is such a great kid.  He loves to play the wii, play with legos, play with playmobil, and loves to snuggle.  He has such a tender heart and is always asking questions and wanting to know why.  He is such a good big brother to Waylon and loves his brothers and sisters.  Cal loves hanging with his dad, but I have to say that he loves hanging with me too.  We have fun times together.  I am so grateful for this guy and feel so blessed to be his mama!

Happy Birthday Buddy!
