January

 January everyday life was filled mostly with hanging out in the house, doing projects, reading books, wrestling, taking selfies, going to Josh's DSU basketball games, and just hanging out. Cade is still the messiest of eaters. He loves to stick something in his mouth, chew it partially up, spit it out, and then pick it up and eat it again.  Let's just say that after every meal he needs a clothes change.  It drives this mom a little bit crazy.  He also started to walk a lot with the little toy walker.   Lincoln and Norah have started to play really well together. I love watching their little imaginations come up with all kids of fun scenarios and games.  Oh and 1 quick story.  I had a new carton of strawberries in the fridge. Lincoln and Norah had gotten them out and taken the liberty to take 1 bite out of every single strawberry and then throw the rest in the garbage.  I found out by looking in the garbage to a pile of uneaten strawberries. So the Strawberry lover I am, I took them out of the garbage(it really wasn't too nasty), washed them super well.... cut the rest of them up and we ate the rest.  They thought they were pretty clever!

 We also made a drive up to Zions for an evening!  We had a blast playing in the snow, going for a walk along the River (kind of a mix between walking and sliding).  We ended the night eating at Bumbleberrys Restaurant.

We then made a weekend trip up to Brianhead cabin to do some tubing, playing in the snow, and relaxing.  Lincoln Loved the tubes and he thought he won the race every single time down the hill.  Norah was all about the little tubes that go around and around. She was in there for the entire hour and ended up falling asleep. haha. too cute. Cade liked sitting in the tubes for a few minutes but then he would tip over and wasn't such a fan so he didn't last too long.  Lincoln could have played in the snow all day. He loved going out on the deck, digging caves with dad, and making snow angels. I love the snow for a day or two and was sure glad to come home to dry ground.  It was a fun weekend.

New Years Eve - WELCOME 2016

Erin planned an awesome New Years Party for us all.  When Erin is in charge she goes all out--- and we love it!   We ate a yummy soup dinner, played games (bean boozled was a favorite), hung out, and had a photo shoot with all the kids.  It was the perfect way to ring in the new year (even if we had our Midnight a little after 10 pm) ;)  The kids all got silly string and noise makers---- we had silly string everywhere!  We topped it off with our sparking cider toasts.... I think Norah had 3 or so glasses full. 2015 def. full of some ups and downs but it was a great year  ... Hope 2016 brings many more great memories! Even though Ben, Cade, and Blair are only 4 months apart there is seems like such a difference because kids learn and grow so much every month. Next time they all get together I am sure they will all be running around.
