Jack turns 8

I can't believe my big guy is 8!! This kid is amazing and SO incredibly smart. His feet are the same size as mine now and he is reading books like crazy. He knows all the states and their capitals and so much more than I have ever known about our solar system. Jack is incredibly kind and good to his brothers, he is constantly teaching and taking care of them.

This year he decided he wanted nothing else written on his cake besides 'Plants vs Zombies' and wanted to go the Boondocks. Which I must say was the most fun there I have ever had. All the boys are at ages now where we can all go play lazer tag (which is awesome!) and can just run, play and really enjoy themselves. 

Our Valentines

This year for Valentines I treated Trent out to a fun party with dancing and good food. Luckily we got in free since... well, I was the entertainment. HAHA. We had such a fun night, and we danced our hearts out. He also gave me some beautiful colored daises - he sure is wonderful and amazing. I am so lucky to have him in my life.

Jack's friend Quincy who lives a few blocks over from us has come to play quite a bit these last few months. We like having him over. All the boys were enjoying the warming weather and were so excited to have a picnic outside. Gotta enjoy every moment!

Let's try out skiing!

This winter since Trent has fallen back in love with skiing and boarding, we decided to get the boys some skis so they could try it out! We ended up going with their cousins to a great sledding hill where we got to try out skis, boards and of course enjoy the sleds. Blake was super excited to try out his skis, and Tyler was zipping down the sledding hill so fast it was making my heart race.. haha. But when he noticed how nervous I was he told me, "Don't worry Mommy, I did not get hurt." Love him.

Liberty park with the snow

We decided to take a little walk around Liberty Park since it was so pretty with the snow. We got to walk around with Josh and his doggie. The boys had such a fun time.. they kept saying, "Thanks so much for this adventure Mom!" They sure are awesome little people, I love them terribly!

Working hard and playing harder

 We've been working hard at school and staying healthy... and of course having lots of fun!

Homework can be so exhausting at times!

 Trent has been taking advantage of the slopes this year and has had a blast! 

Tyler making sure his board is all set and ready to go!

I even got to teach my very own Cyr wheel workshop at the Aerobatics gym

This year is off to a great start!

Happy 2016 !!

Welcome to 2016!! Wow, what a fun year 2015 was. All the boys are getting bigger by the second. It was fun having them finally all at an age where they can buckle themselves in the car by themselves, get dressed 'mostly' ;) by themselves... and bascially just be able to take them more places and truly enjoy them!!

Jack I swear is getting smarter by the minute. His teachers say he is one of the best readers in his class, and we ALL know how much he loves math and how he just 'gets it'. Although the teachers do say he has a lot of friends, and sometimes that gets him distracted! haha. Love that kid. He has been playing basketball during recess (when there isn't any snow) so he is very excited to start Jr. Jazz on Monday! Can't wait to watch him play.

Blake is loving Kindergarten and has his first true friend - Gage. He loves school and he still loves hugs from me... YES! I love this kid. He is so talented when coloring or creating, and I can tell he loves it. Blake has such an eye for style and is very sweet, although he can sometimes have a little temper... but he has learned how to breath and count to 4. Which by the way is the cutest thing ever.

Tyler is hilarious. With that kid nothing is ever dull. He is so smart for such a little person sometimes I forget he is still only 3. He is very sarcastic, which is funny and confusing to some - and if you aren't able to help him in the moment he will figure out a way to do it himself. He made it all the way to the top of the 50ft climbing wall the other week and was so proud of himself. I sure love this kid. Tyler will go far in whatever he sets his mind to.

These boys just light up my life. I've loved having them home over Christmas break and new years. Cheers to another wonderful, adventure filled year!! Big things to come in 2016 !!!
