Birthday party at the Fire Station

 Driving the truck (with eyes closed??)

We couldn't get a picture with Josie wearing the hat because it pretty much toppled her over.

Our Neighbor friend, Tate, celebrated his 3rd birthday with a party at a fire station.  The kids climbed all over and through the trucks, rang a very loud bell and tried on the boots, pants, coats and helmets.  We've been looking forward to this once since we got the invitation.

Welcome, Baby Bria Lynne!

Josie LOVES babies, so she was very excited to go visit her new cousin, Bria.  Congrats, Aunt Kara and Uncle Brad!

Cottage in the winter

 

I wasn't there, but this looks a bit like a figure skating routine.  What are you boys doing up there?

New interests

Once in a while we even get the diaper off and make good use of this chair's purpose.  Other times, it's just a good place to read a book and wait while Caleb sits on the nearby, bigger potty.

 The pictures above were taken before the big "blizzard of 2011" .  Below are pictures of the kids helping with clearing the driveway after the storm.

 Caleb's cream come true: A fire truck with a siren he can operate

 She's so happy to be taking in the germs from those other kids.

This is what we get when we tell her to "smile pretty". 

Better Late than Never...More Christmas pictures

 All of the cousins on Kyle's side so far...more in the works!

 All of the cousins on Rachel's side, looking decently happy (or scared) for the picture.
