Happy 6th Birthday to Will!

Will turned 6 December 8th . . . we had a fun family evening: dinner, Christmas lights downtown, and movie night. We love you Will!

My BIG kid!

Katie got in on all the fun

Will saying, "Thank you" to Jonny for his new Leapster game

Jonny had a hard time being happy for this pic

Will was dead set on ringing in his 6th bday at Chuck E Cheese . . . lets just say I am grateful that I had no set up or clean up to worry about, BUT we were one of about 7 bday parties that night and it was a Friday, sooo it was a bit crazy, but Will had a ball and didn't seem to mind all the chaos. :)

Katie of course chose to NOT take a nap the day of Will's party, so by the time 6:00 rolled around she was a bit clingy to say the least. But we got some good smiles out of her anyways.

Will in the Ticket Blaster--he loved this thing! He grabbed almost 500 worth of tickets!

Spiderman Cake . . . if this looks familiar its because Jonny had the same one for his bday, Will wanted the exact same cake. I didn't mind not having to bake it. ;)

Thanksgiving in Redmond

The day before we left we had a bit of snow, school was late start so Will got to play on the trampoline . . . he didn't last long though. :)

3 of my BEST BLESSINGS

Pumpkins and Costumes

My parents were here for Halloween this year and stayed home to pass out candy while we took these 3 cutie pies trick or treating. We came back with a mother load of candy and they had a ball--our pirate, knight, and our butterfly. (SIDE NOTE: Jonny's costume is a Knight, he kept thinking he was a Guard, and bless his heart, our little JB has some pronunciation issues, so when people asked him what he was for Halloween he said "guard", BUT it sounded like he said "God". It took a lot of convincing for him to just say Knight so there wouldn't be any confusion. :) )

The First Days of School

SO . . . I'm a little late getting these first days of school pics up. A month or so late isn't too bad right?

Jonny holding up his card from Mommy and Daddy for his first big day!

Such a ham

Katie and I dropping him off

He made himself right at home . . . I was worried about Jonny, he's not as gung ho independent as Will, but he did a lot better than me.

Walking to the bus stop . . . that's Katie bringing up the rear

I can't believe my Will is in kindergarten. He is getting so big, way TOO fast. We are so proud of you bud!

This and That

Some Brotherly Love

Jonny fell off his bike and broke his fall with his adorable face. oops ;0)

Will's first soccer game

Jonny loves to climb into the top bunk and sleep with Will in his bed . . . we find them in many positions like these when we check on them before going to bed. So funny
