I Think They Taste Better This Way

Sutton typically enjoys food!! This day he also enjoyed playing with his food!!

Hitting The Boards

Since we weren't able to attend a local hockey game for Sutton's birthday we took the next home game we could.  We did not realize how many people would be there, the tickets were sold out.  Thankfully we ran into the dad of a friend from high school who happened to have 2 extra tickets.  The boys (especially Sutton) really enjoyed the game.

In The Making

We kept waiting for the right kind of snow to make a snowman.  We thought we had it this day.  It turned out we were wrong, but we had fun trying.  Since we weren't able to make a snowman Leland decided he would practice being an angel!!!

The Birthday Celebration Continues

On Sutton's birthday we usually go to Monster Trucks, this year we decided not to and were left with what to do.  We thought about finding a sporting event, but literatly every game of every nearby team was playing away that day!!!  We ended up attending an ice festival and then heading to dinner at a Japanese steakhouse.  While we were in town Nate decided he needed some new boats, so while he shopped Leland warmed his toes up on the heater in the back of the store (I used to work with the owner and she was nice enough to crank up the heat for him!!)  Sutton enjoyed catching the food that was tossed to him.  He had a lovely dessert placed in front of him and the crazy kid decided that the carrots (which were meant to make the dish look pretty) tasted the best!!

Birthday Pics Continued

As is tradition in our house Sutton woke up to a room full of balloons on his special day and more presents!!

Happy 4th Skeeter!!

Wow, just realizing that I have yet to post about Sutton's birthday really puts in perspective how far behind I am!!!  Anyway Sutton celebrated his 4th birthday back in January.  He decided he wanted to have a dirt bike cake.  Nate was able to pull it off successfully once again!!  Sutton enjoyed having people over to celebrate with him!!

Sledding With Friends

When we needed a change of pace from back yard sledding we headed to the "big hill" with friends!!

Back Yard Sledding Adventures

We have been sledding every chance we get!!

Paradise Comes And Goes

One day we have snow (paradise for the boys) and literally the next day we don't!! On this Friday Sutton was really in paradise, Leland was at school, we had snow, and I had the day off!! We got to spend some time sledding and then we made no bakes. Sutton's paradise came to a screeching halt at about noon though when I got a call from school that Leland wasn't feeling well!!

Happy Leland

Leland is often happiest when he is playing Angry Birds!
