Snow fort prep

Working to set up the future snow fort!

Disney

Santa brought a trip to Disney world in March! Maddox woke up the day after Christmas and asked me if we were all packed up for Disney?

Hahaha

Later Maddox brought in a bag and said here are my snacks I'm ready to go to Disney!

I think he's excited :-)

Trivia!

Papa would be proud of these two guys playing Trivia Crack!

Holiday Pops

Annual tradition... trip to the philharmonic!  Look who stopped by!

I'm flying!

A little airplaning makes this boy smile!!

I forgot the rules.

Dad: Where's Maddox?
(Mom goes to look for him, finds him hiding in the corner with a red marker.)
Maddox:  I just forgot the rule, Mom... because I wanted a blood hand like the guy in Dragons 2.

Best hats ever!

Squeeze the bottom puff ball and the ears/flames shoot up!  Awesome present from Miss Paula!

Fort builder extraordinaire

I built this fort myself!!

Best rule ever.

Maddox:  Mom, I even know the best rule ever.
Mom:  What is the best rule ever, buddy?
Maddox:  No eating oatmeal on your bed, Mom.

Who needs Mimi?

When you have Trunk to play Candyland with you, and Murphy to help with your ABC game?!

For the record,  we ALL need Mimi!  :)

Scouting

Headed to the Fire Department tonight for Scouts!

Counting

Just realized today, while playing the Pete the Cat game, that Maddox doesn't skip 17 anymore.  Happy / sad milestone.

Advent & Insects

At Colton's new school they are learning about and celebrating Advent.  This craft project has an extra bit of boy creativity added to the celebration.  Try to find the bug!!

Belts & boards!

Both boys earned new belts and broke boards at Tae Kwon Do tonight.  Colton moved up to his tri-colored belt, and Maddox earned his green stripe.   Way to go!

Hunting!

Fun with Garrett!

Happy birthday Maddox!

4 years old!

Fun with trucks and tractors!

Thanksgiving 2014, ramping up for Christmas!

Serious about hunting

Around here we're really serious about hunting.

Big Shot!

Shaun got this handsome guy on our property out back!  Great bow shot!

Fash Dagoon

Annual trip went really well.   Favorite slide is still Maui Wowie,  but Maddox went on every one he could.   Colton won tons of arcade tickets and loved laser tag too.

Fitness Challenge

The boys had their fitness Challenge today at tae kwon do.   Colton's best was jumps, and Maddox did 4 pull ups!  Great job to both star earning boys!

Miss Elizabeth

Thanks for the awesome "giant carrots" from Miss Ewizabif!

Hammy McHambone

Maddox on the swing!  It started to rain.

Reward!

Maddox has been brave getting on the bus for a week!   Time to celebrate!

I made my computer!

Creative Maddox. 

It's like Words With Friends...

But in real life not on a phone!

Family bike ride down Portage road

Tae Kwon Doe

Quite possibly the cutest little guy on the planet! I suppose I'm partial. :-)

Future dreams

Big dreams for these two cuties!
