2013 Has Begun

Welcome 2013! We spent New Year's Eve at our friends The Tolley's in Belgrade. The kids had a great time playing Just Dance 4 on the Wii and the parents chatted like boring adults do. 

We did let off some fireworks...then an entire bucket of fireworks at the end of the show. Nobody got hurt but it sure was exciting for a few moments.

The kids having breakfast on their first day back to school - Jan 2nd.

Tyson hit his first two solo birthday parties - back to back on Saturday. First, for his buddy Matthew.

Then the greatly-anticipated Spiderman party of Greyson's.

Speaking of parties - the kids put on a concert for us this past weekend. Rocking out to their usual Veggie Tales.

The video portrays some of the new dance moves the girls learned from New Years Eve :)

Devin - in his new favorite spot, the kindling bucket.

Finding his belly button for Morgan

Batman in the bucket

Don't mess with this tough-guy...

See...told ya.

Morgan and Tyson deciding what they want to be when they grow up. Morgan picked the lady with 36 kids...how fitting :) Tyson likes the 'worker guys'

One of Kaitlyn's latest sketches. They're getting closer to looking like real people :)


Kaitlyn even took some practice shots with her new bow. They all hit the bales - probably better than Mommy would do. She told me if she practices real hard and gets good that she gets to go hunting with Daddy.

Now for the Big News from the Weekend....
Devin got his own room! I'm almost embarrassed to say that he's been in our room since birth...yes, 20 months ago.

He loves it and we do too because his crib is much smaller than Tyson's bed - leaving more room for toys downstairs...out of the way :) 
What did we do with Tyson????

He's upstairs in his big-boy room! Well he's actually sharing with the girls but they have an awkwardly large room that is easily made into two. We had to get creative with closet space but it works.

He wanted a picture of him in his bed too...

And when in Rome....Morgan all snuggled up.

And lastly Kaitlyn. I'm not sure how she sleeps because she has so much stuff up in her bed. Were kinda OK with it because it's really the only place that she can keep stuff without anyone getting into it. It's pretty tight quarters once the cat gets up there too but it works!
