Baby Lia

Cris's brother Cory and his wife Aya had their first baby on Saturday. It was a girl, LIA. I don't know her full name but they will call her Lia.

SNOW DAY and Birthdays!

On Saturday we got dumped on with snow. We got about 5 inches of snow. It all came in a matter of a few hours and then therest of the day was wonderful besides the roads. I have a WONDERFUL husband (and son) who went outside to brave the storm and shovel the walks for all of Cayten's friends to come to his birthday party.

Clarysa was pretty unsure of the snow. She would try to put her hands down in it to push herself up but it wouldn't work. She got upset, I picked her up, and that was the end of that.

Cayten really enjoyed helping daddy with the shoveling. Half the time he was actually shoveling the grass but he loved every minute!

Cayten's third party was a hit. We made A LOT of sugar cookies to decorate for his party. The snow prevented some people from coming and the kids wanted one cookie and then ran and played. It was great fun.

Cayten got his "lightning mcQueen" cake. He was so excited and it has a real car on it.

Happy Birthday . . . Again! Cris's parents and our friends Lino and Jesse came over to celebrate his birthday.






Getting ready to blow out the candle










Blowing out the candle . . .

















And after many failed attempts . . . it is finally out! He kept blowing but really soft so it never went out. Cris finally got him to put his face closer and voila!

Papa and Rysa: She looks a little worried but she is just eying all of Cayten's new toys!
Cayten opening Jesse's gift . . . what could it be?


















Cow BOWLING! ! ! It is a ball that makes cow noises and 6 milk containers. It was one of his favorite toys. He loves to knock them down. Instead of arranging them in a triangle, he places them in a straight line. Very particular!

Lino's Gift
What could it be in this BEAUTIFUL bag?














Race CARS! It is the helmet Cayten really wanted.


















He was being really silly and putting it on top of his head while it was still in the package.

Opening Auntie's gift- Great wrapping . . . COMICS (classic, LoVe iT!)

















Spiderman punching bag! This was a GREAT idea because Cayten loves to punch and it bounces back. We thought it was like his size . . . it ended up being 9 inches LOL! Rysa loves it though!


















Grandma put his toys in his laundry basket hamper (yes it is an ElePhAnT! LoVe iT aGaIn!)


















HULK gloves. He likes to punch with these.

The hamper. I honestly LOVE it so much. It will make Cayten excited to put his clothes in here and no more confusing clean with dirty. We will start working on it this week. Cris's parents also gave Rysa a duck one.






































The outfit mom gave him . . . he wore it the next day at his 3rd b-day party (more pics of that to come too) and got frosting all over it. AGH!









I never got the end results on pic of what was in this box because I was so surprised. Cris got Cayten TWO nerf guns. They like to gang up on me and Cayten likes to use them to wake Cris up (as do I)!










I couldn't resist putting some photo's of Clarysa in . . . she is getting so big. She is walking like a pro now and hardly ever crawls. It is crazy to look at her, I think . . . wait she can't do that. I love every minute with these two.

Yesterday after Cayten opened his gifts from my mom and family, we went to a live Nativity that is across the street from our house. I could really feel the Spirit there and it was an awesome opportunity.
