Benjamin started Preschool this month at Children's Resource Center. He's going 3 mornings a week, and he gets his speech therapy during that time. He is shy, but he loves going! What a big boy he is!

Nana and Papa come for a visit
Nana and Papa came for a visit recently. Papa kept all the kids entertained by making paper airplanes and hats out of the newspaper, and we all celebrated Papa's birthday early with a strawberry banana cake!

Aargh, Me Hardies!
Aargh! Happy Birthday Benjamin! Despite the snowy weather keeping a few party guests from making it to Worland, We had a swash-buckling good time with all our scurvy friends! Ben had a Treasure chest cake filled with yummy treasures, and enough pizza to satisfy even the hungriest sea dog! Our good friends the Degraws, Jenks, and the Fortins, along with Grandma Shade helped us celebrate.

The trigger was hard for Benjamin to pull, he was making the most hillarious faces everytime he shot his pistol! What do you get when you cross a Texan with a Wyomingite? One crazy litttle cowboy!
William got his favorite movie RV, he's ready to go RVing all around the country with unlce Rob now!
More funny Gun Faces!

A Trip Down South
The kids and I made an unexpected trip to Texas before Christmas. My grandad passed away, and we drove down in two days (19 hours each way, and 6 hours round trip to Monahans). The kids were such troopers, the dvd player broke in Colorado, and Ben got carsick in Amarillo (We littered a car seat, pillow, clothes, and a thousand wipies- "Don't Mess With Texas" doesn't apply to throw up!). It was so worth the extra effort to take them. They got to meet so many special people for the first time and see special places from my childhood. If you were praying for us, we could tell! Nothing had changed much, everyone was a little bit older, but still the same- we had such a wonderful time catching up with everybody.

When I was a kid, everytime the family got together, everyone played music and sang. It was so much fun to do it again, especially for my own kids to take part. We sang every Christmas carol we could think of!

Nanny had a litter of kittens hidding in the wood pile, the kids had so much fun playing with them. Heidi was talking to John on the phone, he asked her what she had been doing, all she said was "meow, meow!"
Papa and William got Grandad's tractor started, but it wouldn't roll because it had a flat tire.
