Happy Birthday Jack!

 

Happy birthday Jack!  6 years went by way too fast.  You have grown so much over this past year and we can see the excitement in your eyes as you learn new things.  You are one strong willed guy and while frustrating at times, we wouldn't change it for the world.  We know you will be a leader one day as you aren't easily swayed from your own viewpoints. You want to learn things for yourself rather than accepting what others say.  When your heart is set on something, you are full throttle and no one can tell you no!  You have big, passionate feelings in everything you do and we love you for it!! 

Tooth Fairy's 1st Visit!

This guy lost his first tooth today!!  Not even 6 years old yet and his first tooth gone already.  How did he get so old??  He has been wiggling this tooth for a good 3 weeks now and today it was finally loose enough for Eric to pull it out.  Jack was so excited and immediately had to call all the grandparents to share the news.  He is anxiously waiting the tooth fairy's arrival tonight.  Hopefully she remembers how much she gave Will for his first tooth otherwise we will have an issue in the morning.

Ice Skating

We took the kids ice skating today during open skate at the ice rink.  This was Sara's first time ever on skates.  I wasn't quite sure how she was going to do but she was excited and hoped right onto the ice and didn't stop until it was time to leave!  She started off using the crates and sped around the ice.  Eventually she got tired of the crate and took a shot at skating on her own. She did surprisingly well for her first time!  As the third child, this girl has no fear!  She just wants to keep up with whatever her brothers are doing. 

Taking a break



Here is Sara motoring around using her crate.  She got really fast the more she skated.

 

And after a few times around the rink, she attempted skating without the crates.  Very impressive considering it was her first time ever on skates!

 

 

School Photos

I can't get enough of these two faces!  School photos fall 2015.  Of course whenever I don't order a big package of photos is when they come out the best.
