It's Snowing!

Josiah was released early from school today & Dustin was released early from work due to incoming snow! And it DID snow!  This afternoon it began snowing huge flakes.

This was Ethan's very first snow.  He was screaming to go outside.

Some of the neighborhood children came out to have a snowball fight.

Ethan really wanted to be older so he could join in on the fun.  Josiah had a blast making HUGE snowballs!  We are so excited that it's snowing!!

Ethan is Fifty-Two Weeks Old!

Today Ethan is Fifty-Two Weeks Old!!!!!

I can't believe he's already 52 weeks.  That blows my mind.  Today is the very last weekly photo we'll take of this little guy.  We will, however, continue to take his monthly pictures.  Thanks for watching him grow with us!

Roses!

My wonderful husband brought a dozen roses home for me today.  He didn't have a reason & he didn't do anything wrong.  He said he was thinking about me all day & wanted to bless me. How precious!  Thank you, babe, for my beautiful roses!

Ethan Can Wave!

Ethan has started to wave!  It's a little Hitler-ish, but at least Ethan can wave!

Ethan is Fifty-One Weeks Old!

Today Ethan is Fifty-One Weeks Old!

Shopping!

Today we went shopping to spend a little of our Christmas money.  Well...I went shopping last Sunday afternoon & bought new clothes with my money & bought several pair of pants for Josiah with his money, but never took pictures.  But today was about spending some of the money my three guys got.

Dustin bought "The Bourne Legacy", "Halo 4" (video game) & a Norelco clipper set.  Yes...the beard is already gone!  I love it for a while & then I'm ready for it to be gone!

Josiah had birthday & Christmas money to spend so he bought a new bike & a helmet.

We then spent Ethan's money on a bike seat so he can join us for rides.  He has a birthday coming up, too, so we didn't want to spend too much of his money not knowing what he's going to get for his birthday.

Josiah also bought more Phineas & Ferb figurines & Trash Pack toys!

Josiah had the best time shopping with me.  It's amazing to watch him in a toy store.  He does the opposite of what you'd think.  He tells me when he thinks something is too expensive & only wants a few things.  Most kids would fill the cart & then cry when they can't get what they want.  I'm so thankful that he is such a content little man.

Thanks to all the family who gave money or gift cards to extend the Birthday & Christmas excitement!  What a fun day shopping!

Happy 36th Birthday, Dustin!

Today is Dustin's 36th Birthday!

We began the day with breakfast...Coffee Cake, Fried Eggs, Turkey Bacon & Fruit!  After this yummy breakfast, we went into the Living Room for present time.  Dustin got so many nice cards & some of them even had something inside.  These are from Chris, my parents, Dustin's parents & Nan!

Then Dustin opened the cards we gave him.  Josiah always makes a masterpiece!

Then we gave him some presents!

Dustin is a movie buff.  It's his favorite thing to do!  So...we loaded him up with movies!

Then we spent the rest of the day playing with the boys.

After an afternoon of fun, we headed to Outback for dinner to celebrate.

Josiah asked to switch seats with me so he could sit next to Ethan.  They are so funny together & had us laughing so hard.  Josiah even captured a picture of us laughing.

Then he took a normal picture of us together.

When we got home, we had birthday cake...Devil's Food...Dustin's favorite!

After Dustin blew out his 3 & 6 candles, we munched down.  Yummy!

We had such a wonderful night celebrating together.  We love you & hope you had a Happy 36th Birthday, Dustin!

Ethan is Forty-Nine Weeks Old!

More Presents!

We received gift cards in the mail today from Dustin's parents.  We can't wait to go shopping & buy something special with these.  Thanks so much for more presents!
