So here are some pictures from our very busy January. We went to Disney Land in the beginning of January before Nate headed back to Spokane. And then between two Birthdays: Gavin’s and Owen’s, the month went by quickly. Which I am thankful for because as much as I like to idea of winter in reality – not so much fun. With the lack of sunshine, the extra 15 minutes it takes to get your kids bundled up and out the door for any miniscule trip, and the snow removal (I really miss Nate), it has been a bit overwhelming. But nevermind that here are highlights from the good times!

Oh yeah! Gavin driving @ Autopia. Look at that face, completely self-satisfied.

Gavin turned 5 at Disney Land! He bought that Indian Jones hat and has been young Indi ever since.

Hayden & Goofy.

I love this picture of Hayden. My boys love stuffed animals.

Owen got to clean Lightning! He was so excited.

The first time at the beach. Everyone told me it would be too cold to play in the water so I didn't bring a change of clothes for the kids and thought they would mostly play in the sand. This picture was taken about two seconds before they ran in the water and got completely soaked! Next time I'll be better prepared.

Owen turned 3 and had a doggy birthday party. The toddlers loved it.

Party Pooper! This is my new nephew, Boston. He's 2 weeks old in this photo.

Baby Payton! Why so sad?

Just some of the girls in pary hats!

Gavin with his doggy cookie.

This is at Tom Sawyer's island at Disney Land. I don't remember this from being a child. But I could not get my boys to leave. Maybe I should have just left them there.
