Going to be better this year!

We meet our cute little cousin Ty for the first time over the holiday weekend. He is 3 and full of smiles.Isn't he adorable!!! Brad's brother is adopting him in a couple of months. And let me tell you he fits right in to this family. We now have four 3 year old all with in a couple of months of each other. CAn you say MISCHEIF!!!
Here are the kids dropping the ball from the loft at the cabin for our New year celebration. Shawnee wraps a ball with tin foil and rigs some kind of something to lower the ball. We count down and everything. The kids love it.
WE love to go sledding. Even Ty loves to join in.
Shawnee and her goofy hat. She can still be a kid.
WE celebrated Ty's 3rd birthday at the cabin. He had a dinosaur cake from Costco. He got some new church clothes. A Car's coloring book, Toy Story projecter that he loves and a Handy Manny motorcycle tool set. He was in heaven.

We had a great Christmas and New Year. We got to spend time with Wade and Amanda and there family. We don't get to see them very often they live in California. It is amazing to me that the kids play so well together and don't fight when there are so many of them. Since there was 12 children at the cabin and 8 adults. They made a snowman, went sledding and ate and ate and ate some more. We had 2 birthdays while we were there. First was Ty's and then Noah's was on New Years Eve. SO we had lots of cake and let me tell you there was no cake left when we left. That most have been some good cake.
