Happy New Year's Birthday!

 What can I say... we know how to party!  This was our Birthday Party/New Years Eve Party for Baby Girl.  I will never need another party on this day of the year again because now we will be throwing the parties!  Yay! for fun birthdays!  We made eggrolls, orange chicken, and california rolls for the occasion.  My Uncle Don wanted to get Londyn an ice cream cake, otherwise it would have been cupcakes.  Thanks Uncle Don for making our celebration more special. 

Great Day for Grant!

 Grant was selected to participate in the Bush Barn Art Fair for the Salem- Keizer  School District.  That is his painting of a tree at the very top.  He had to mix his own paint to make the brown for the trunk.  He is very proud of that little piece of artwork.

Then when we got home... there was a very nice man waiting for us.  Don't know his name but he is the grounds keeper for the Astoria Column.  He returned Grant's parachute man we had lost when he threw it over the side of the Astoria Column.  How cool is that?  It pays to write names and addresses on your children's toys before you throw them to eternity!  Now we will have to wait until Deacon's is returned.

The Tornado!

 First she asked for some milk.... then a straw................................................

Then she blew until there wasn't a drop of milk in the cup........... then she was done.   Now every time I give her a straw I have to preface it with, "No Blowing Bubbles!"

Spring Break Sleep Over!

Collecting more cool Aunt and Mom points is one of my priorities so we had some fun Wednesday night with our cousins.  Set up a tent on the Red Rug and Let the kiddos camp out.  They went to bed WAY too late and woke up way too early, but they had an awesome time!

Cascade Head....

Hey lovers of the outdoors!  I just had to share these amazing photos of an awesome hike we took with my Dad during our 2011 Lincoln City Foulger Family Reunion.  As you can see it is pretty kid friendly, we had a few adults with us who toted children as needed, but over all my kids did great.  What kid doesn't complain about walking anyway.  Its good for them!  We saw animals and insects and the view was AMAZING!!!  Google it, then DO IT!

$1.25 TUESDAY!

Grant is forever inviting the Weber's over for dinner.  So I caved and let them come over for $1.25 Happy Meal Day at Micky D's.  What a great American pastime.  Next time I'll have the Weber's over for "real" food and not this fast kind.  I can cook, its just nice sometimes when I can feed all my kids for five bucks!

Happy Snow Day!

 Grant let Londyn hold his snowball.  What a good Big Brother!

Just a Dusting but still so much fun!

Deacon and the Big Boys!

Grant and Madeline made a snowman!

The huge snowball the big boys and deacon made!

Snow is fun, cleaning up after it is NOT!

Yes I made Hot Chocolate from scratch, cause I'm that awesome!
