January

Grandma D has gotten all the kids these cute animal wallets for either their birthday or Christmas and they each had a dollar inside of them.  Toby was overjoyed to find a "hangry bird" car with his dollar:)

Kids discovering the thrill of making popcorn with a popcorn maker.

Sweet girl sound asleep.

 Ivy has gotten over her fear of Jingles and will often be found sharing toys, pacifiers and what not.

 He loves to see what she is eating.  It's funny looking back at this picture and see how much he has grown.  Thankfully had can't get food off her tray but his head goes to right by the tray now.

 One Friday night we went to a Chinese restaurant.  The kids would have preferred to stay by this fish tank all night.  When we finally pulled them away to eat Toby was thrilled to find out they had jello and was very impressed to find that the table were very steady.  He asked if we could eat there every night!

 When we left the restaurant this was the beautiful sky we were greeted with....God does an amazing job!

 On a trip to Ikea Derek made the boys ties with the rulers.  Levi was not impressed.

 Toby on the other hand loved his and if you look closely he has a pencil behind his ear:)

Levi patiently waiting for Toby's t-ball game to be over so he could have a turn to hit then ball and run the bases.

Playing in the mulch with his truck.

 After getting all the outside work they were all taking a break.

 This picture was taken at about 10 at night.  Levi was wired and we finally just let him get out of bed.  He loved helping put together this bookcase.

2 weekends in January Sea World was running a special that if you brought in a Coke product you could get Buy 1 Get 1 tickets (which also get us in for the rest of the year).  We took full advantage of that!

  The kids were excited that they could go on all the rides.

 Even Ivy got to join in.

 Levi was just a little excited:)

 We ended the day with some yummy ice cream!

Toby got the sportsmanship medal!  Each week a different child got the medal, it was torture to wait for his turn!

 They also got to take a sign home for their week.  Yes, we got a letter from the HAO saying we had to take it down but Toby sure was proud of it!

Just playing with his airplane.

 Pushing their babies around together:)
