Happy Birthday Thomas, Lucas & Kenzie!

Happy Birthday to my wonderful sons Thomas & Lucas! Their 4th birthdays are actually not until February 26th, but they already had their birthday party.

I am so proud of the big boys that Thomas and Lucas have grown to be. Thomas is such an ornery, little sweetheart. He is still a little mommy’s boy – which I absolutely love! He is full of personality. He is funny, sweet (he is always saying “I love you Mommy”), and has the most adorable smile. Thomas has developed and incredible love for sports—particularly football. He is also quite the little athlete himself. He is agile and super coordinated. He is going to be just like his talented father!

Lucas has developed into quite the outgoing, talkative, artist. His drawing skills are very impressive. He is also still very good at and loves to do puzzles. He also has a well-rounded personality. He is still my most sensitive of children. He’s sweet, considerate, and really funny. He still loves to play with his little figures. He loves Mickey Mouse, Scooby Doo, Spongebob Squarepants, and Mario. He is attending a pre-school at Gateway Elementary, and he is thriving as a student there. He can spell and write his name, and he has made some little friends there as well!

This year, we had a joint party with McKenzie Smith. Happy 3rd Birthday to her! The party was absolutely phenomenal. It was probably one of the best parties that we have had. We held the party at the Triple B Ranch. The kids got to enjoy riding a horse, playing at the playground, and of course, the usual birthday festivities of opening presents and having cake and ice cream. Thank you so much to all those who were able to attend and for the great gifts that the boys received!

I also want to wish a Happy Birthday to Kelly & Justine (they turned 25 on February 16) and to Papa Dave Krupp (February 24). We love you all so much and hope that this year is an awesome one for you all!

Well, here are many pictures of the birthday party and of the boys with their new cousin Landon. Since there are so many pictures, I am not going to label each one like I usually do. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Paul!

Happy birthday to my amazing and wonderful husband! That's right, Paul turned 29 today! To celebrate the occassion, we had a nice, low-key weekend. We also took the boys bowling today, which was a lot of fun! Me and your boys love you so much Paul! We are so lucky to have you in our lives and are so appreciative of the hard work and dedication that you do for us. Happy, happy birthday! And here are some pictures to start off 2012!

The boys playing video games....and notice that they have even included Thomas' favorite stuffed animal, Pandy.
My little scientist about to do dig some dinosaur bones out of a block of stone
Kevin with his mallet and chissle
And then Thomas took his turn...I think he actually managed to chissle the most bones out!
And of course, Lucas helped too
Kevin won an "Outstanding Studen" award for 1st grade

Elaina and Kevin, just chillin'
Thomas holding Landon....he said to me the other day, "Mom, I love Landon best of all." It was super cute!
Lucas holding his little cousin
And Kevin holding Landon
Hello there Landon!
Bowling time! Landon's first trip to the bowling alley.
Lucas' turn!
Lucas would dance the whole time while his ball traveled down towards the pins--which was a lot of dancing, cause speed was not something that his ball had a lot of
Now Thomas on the other hand, he would chuck that ball down with quite a bit of force!
He even got a spare once! He jumped all around with excitement!
And Kevin was quite the little pro! He too got a couple of spares!
Good job buddy!
The birthday boy refusing to take his picture with me, so I am posting this one anyway.
