Calvin Turns 4!

We had to explain to Calvin last night that when he woke up he would be four years old. He then told us that if it was his birthday he needed presents. Good thing we didn't forget that!
We had an eventful day today. We woke up and had french toast and headed to the store to get stuff for Calvin's birthday. We then went to Chick Filla to get Calvin's free kids meal... and play a little:) Calvin helped me bake his cake and help me make pizza for dinner. Our neighbors Jesse and Amanda came over with their little boy Heath. It was a fun day.

Calvin requested buzz lightyear. It was a project but it turned out pretty well.

Today Calvin had to wear his "Diego" t shirt. He also had to wear shorts because Diego wears shorts. I let him because it wasnt too cold outside. I am sure everyone thought I was the best mom :)

Have to lick the cake batter... specially when it is wacky cake and doesn't have any eggs in it.

Calvin got pj's, and hotwheels from Bryce and I. He also got snow boots from Grandpa and Grandma Huff and Cars 2 on dvd from Grandpa and Grandma Baggaley. Spoiled! Notice he is wearing shorts and it is almost December... in Logan;)

Snowman

I am so thankful I married someone who loves to play in the snow. I like being in the snow but I am done after a short bit. I just get cold way too easy. Bryce, Calvin and Simon spent about an hour outside shoveling and making a snowman. Simon was strong until the last five minutes. His hands got too cold. Calvin probably could have stayed out there all night. Bryce was one of the little boys out there too. If you cant tell by the giant snowman he and Calvin built in our front yard.

My Little Turkeys

Ok, So I said I wasnt crafty and I am not. But do you remember making these in elementary school? I love the family fun website. They have some cute, cheap, easy ideas for crafts for the kids. I let Calvin cut out some of his feathers and the head. Next thing I know I look up and Simon is cutting his hair. I caught him before he did any damage but there were little hairs all over my table. The boys are now running around the house saying "gobble, gobble"

Crafts... at least my kind:)

I am not a very crafty person. But I felt like the boys needed something to do inside. We went to Hobby Lobby (they had all their Christmas Craft stuff 50% off). I bought iron crayons. My mom would be proud. We used to use Iron Crayons when I was little. We drew their hands and feet. Bryce and I also wrote their names on the aprons. Bryce left out the "I" in Calvin and I didn't write Simon's name backwards:) So this is why I am not a crafty person. We had fun and the boys have been wearing their aprons around ever since. Fun Times

Bryce took the boys to the park the other day. I thought this picture was cute.

Goodbye Chelsee

Bryce's oldest niece Chelsee left to the MTC on Wednesday. She is heading out to Kiev, Ukraine. Calvin is excited to have another missionary to pray for. His prayers have been "please bless that Uncle James will go on another mission." James was the last missionary. He finally has a missionary to pray for:) Good luck Chelsee. We love you!

Snow

The boys were really excited to wake up to snow this morning. We threw their stuff on and they went out to play. Calvin had many demands... mom get the shovel! Mom get the sleds! Mom I need a snowboard (we will work on that one, maybe not this year)

Of Cousre, as soon as I come outside to take a picture the boys had snowballs ready to throw at me!

The boys beg Bryce to fill the tub with bubbles. What kid doesnt love bubbles?
