February Brings a Lot of Birthdays

February is a busy month for birthdays in our family

Brooke's is first, then Amy's and then

Lander turns ONE this year!!

                                           Lander is getting around pretty well but still not

                                              walking more than 4 or 5 steps.  He's close!! 

                                  He's blurry because he's coming at me, well the camera   

Note the foot in the basket...

                                                   and both feet in the very small basket??

It wasn't officially his birthday but we are going

to celebrate it in Maui and I didn't want to 

take all the presents on the plane.

 

He did get both feet into this box that holds

touchy-feely toys but I failed to get a picture of it!!

Happy 1st Birthday, Lander!!

Now we are in to 2022

 January brings Pete's Birthday

                                                                 He's now officially '7'

                                            Lander is getting around mostly by crawling but

                                           he pulls himself up and walks around furniture too

Ellie doing some homework

Lander thought it was still Christmas and 

all the gift were for him

                                               Cutie Pie!! Hey Ellie he doesn't mind the eyes!!

                                     Ellie did not like eyes looking at her when she was his age.

                                                       Note the orange line behind Lander!

                                                Pete got a Lego Car so Ellie put it together 

                                                                 and he played with it! 

                                                  Another orange line coming in on the left

                                                 Pete runs car racing tracks all over the place

                                                            Happy 7th Birthday, Pete!!

A Trip to Seattle in the Snow

After Christmas we went over to Brooke's to deliver 

                            some of the big Christmas presents and have some fun in their snow 

Heading for the hill

Pete liked just sliding down the hill on his snowsuit

                                                          Ellie chose going down on a sled

                                                       Lander enjoyed his soft warm ride

                                                          and his snuggles with Mommy

Fun Times!!

Classic Moment

                                           Lander got some wooden blocks from a neighbor 

                                        whose family had outgrown them. This whole family

                                                                          is enjoying them.

                                     Can you tell what Pete is saying to Lander??  "Nooooo"

                                                                    More family FUN!!

Christmas 2021

 I'm way behind in my updating.  Sorry!!!

All the kids and grandkids where here for Christmas

We watched 'The Grinch' and 'Ice Age'

Cozy Claire

                                                                  Christmas morning

                                                                              Chaos 

                                      And then a couple days after Christmas the snow came as

                              it has done quite often when Amy's family comes up in the winter

                                                                       All participated

                                        for awhile...then I went inside and took pics from the 

                                                                 living room window 

                                                     Even Lander got to go out and enjoy it

                                   Pete took his remote control car out to see what it could do

                                              Looks like Claire got hit by a snowball or two

                                                                     Dinners were fun!

                                                                   Cousins are the best!!

                                               Ellie made me a sleigh before all went home

                                                Another wonderful Christmas on the books

                                                       Love to ALL and Happy New Year!!
