Turning 9
He is quite the chocolate lover.... in fact I think all my kids are ;)
Here he is playing the hot and cold game... looking for his presents. The thing I like about playing this is all the kids have a blast helping the birthday boy find his presents.

Easter
Anyway, this year with James leaving I wanted to make something for the boys that would keep "DAD" close to them. So I cut up old BDU's and made them into Sunday tote bags & filled them with items they can use while at church. Oh and of course they had chocolate bunnies and jelly beans as well.

Family Prayer
- Bless me to be good
- Bless our house to sell
- Bless all the boxes to be gone (guess he is tired of his toys being packed away still)
- Bless me to have good dreams
And then sometimes there are the things they pray about that totally catch you off guard!!
- Bless mommy to get pregnant (this is where everyone started laughing)
Where the heck did that come from? And why does he want me to be pregnant?
His answer: I want a sister.
I am not sure I can let him pray again any time soon. And NO! I am not pregnant ;).
Spring Break!

Has it really been 3 months?
Finn turned 3 January 8th.
This is Finn playing the Hot and Cold game to find is Birthday presents. James was in Texas so we had him on speakerphone.
The boys got a couple of games from Aunt Angie for Christmas. One was Scene It Disney and the other was Twister. It was hilarious watching them play twister.
Well we are now in Texas with James. Nope the house hasn't sold yet but with a deployment heading our way, we decided that being together as a family was very important. James found us a house to rent. It is a 2 story so I'm sure you can imagine the boys running up and down the stairs, and claiming this room or that room. We are living pretty close to our old house here in Killeen. The kids are in a different school but seem to like it and their teachers. The school here doesn't give out as much homework, which is something I like! We are in the same ward for church, and James has already received a calling to the Young Men's program. I am sure one will be coming my way soon.
The scout program here is great as well. Aiden and James got to go on a 2 mile hike and camp out last weekend. It got pretty cold during the night but overall they had a great time. Brennon got to build his first pinewood derby car. They had only a week to get it ready for the race but they did it... of course they were installing the wheels about 10 min before we had to leave. Brennon was pretty optimistic about his car and was hoping that it would do well in the race. To all our surprise he came in 1st place.
After we got home Brennon told James : Dad this is the best day of my life as a kid.
