Keaton is 7!!!!!!!

Nobody loves having a birthday more than Keaton! He had a late night party with his friends from the neighborhood. He wanted to invite a million kids! He wanted to invite his cousins, friends that live far away, grandparents & his entire school class! For my sanity we kept it smaller:). Keaton planned all of his favorite games. The party was on a Saturday at 6:00 so I had the entire day to get ready. I couldn't stop. Pinterest was my best friend. The kids aren't all cross eyed but they were trying to be in all the pictures. They got all wild and crazy. They were eating jello & whip cream on their pizza. Keaton had so much fun!








Jason is 36!

We celebrated Jason's birthday with dinner & a movie. The boys stayed home to decorate & get ready to surprise him. I had him thinking I invited a million people over for a surprise. He was happy to see that it was just the boys at home. They turned off the lights & yelled surprise. Jason is the BEST dad in the world!

Reading

Yay! My boys are finally discovering that reading is FUN. Sometimes Camden reads to Keaton & Kody just to avoid bedtime. Camden is known for coming up with all kinds of excuses to avoid closing his eyes & getting some dang rest. I'll let him stay up late every night if he he's reading to his brothers though:)!

School Projects

I'm not a huge fan of the science fair but I admit that in the end it's fun to go see all the projects. Keaton & Kody are posing in front of Camden's project because of course he wanted to go to the fair with his friend instead of with us. I managed to get a picture of him outside with Cole as we were leaving.

Keaton is CUTE

Camden & Friends

We finally got to use our snow blower this year! We've had so much snow! The school even cancelled school one day because we had so much snow. Camden has lots of friends & is always out playing.

Ballroom!

I was surprised when Caleb came home a few months ago begging to take ballroom dance at school. A bunch of his friends from the neighborhood also signed up. Some of these pics are from the school assembly and some are from the competition. He got a gold medal for the Tango technique. We were so proud of him for daring to go out in front of a big crowd & dance with a girl! Jason and I had so much fun cheering on all the kids from our neighborhood. Caleb took the two girls he danced with a bunch of flowers. The both wrote him a note & one girl brought over a huge cookie. Grammy & Grandpa sent Caleb a congratulations card.

Quack

Kody & I get to hang out every day while the other boys are at school. I had a bunch of old buns that I forgot about so we decided to feed the ducks. It was a quick trip because a goose was getting a little too aggressive. The ducks were hungry!
