What a week!!! So many fun things happened during the weekend.
Jackson had his first basketball game. He LOVED it! He's never played basketball before, so he was anxious to try it. He did so great! He even made a basket!! The smile on his face was huge and his arms went up in the air! We can't wait for his game next Saturday!
On Saturday, we also went to the roller skating rink in town. I'd post pics, but they turned out really dark, so you can't make out whos who. The boys loved it. Jackson spent a lot of time on the ground, but that boy just wouldn't give up! He'd fall and get right back up! Talk about determined! They let you stroll your little ones around in a stroller while you're skating, so even Miss B got to participate. She thought it was fabulous! Kaden thought it was alright. After falling down a couple times, he'd had enough. So he just enjoyed eating pizza and playing on the big toy they have there. 
On Saturday night, I knew we were going to be going to church on Sunday morning, so I attempted to put curlers in Brooklyns hair. She has been doing really well holding still these days when I do her hair in the mornings. It's so much fun having a girl and doing new styles everyday. So the curlers went in great, but as soon as I laid her down she yanked them out. So I think next time we'll just put them in in the morning and let them dry. It was hilarious doing it though, cause it brought back memories of my sister and I having our hair put in curlers on Saturday nights!!

So I posted a song on here for the boys. It's Citizen Soldier by Three Doors Down. They LOVE this song. You may recognize it if you frequent the movie theaters much, since they play it during the previews in most movies. My boys are mezmorized every time it comes on!! So this one is for them....
Not much going on round our little home lately. Jackson has Grandparents night at school tomorrow which his Grammy and Grampy are coming to take him to and my dad will meet them there. Unfortunately my mom won't be able to make it. My Grandma Virginia passed away on Monday, so my mom is back there preparing for the funeral. I'll be heading out Friday to make it for the services on Saturday. It's a sad occasion for sure, but it'll be good to see family and give my grandpa a hug in person! If you scroll down to one of my older posts, you'll see a pic of me and her with my grandpa. They sure loved each other and he took care of her right up to the end. They were so cute to watch. Loved each other very much that's for sure.
This is a little bit late... I've been super busy at work, sorry. I finally started my three days off on Wednesday. I felt like I hadn't been home since Chistmas!! But, now life is back to normal.
So, Kaden turned 4 on the 29th of December. He was so excited for his birthday! We celebrated on New Years Day at Outer Limits. It's a pizza fun zone in town. So we had pizza, wings, soda and lots of tokens to play the games. Then back to our place for presents and cake. He really wanted a Star Wars cake, so that's what he got. I was able to find him a matching light saber, and Clone Wars outfit. He loved it. He also got a McQueen car, playdough, a container full of army med(another favorite toy), new snow boots, and some puzzles. He was a very spoiled boy.
Kaden is definetly a middle child. He is way more laid back then Jackson. He is my cuddle boy. He is always thinking of his brother, and will make sacrifices just to make sure Jackson is happy. I hope someday Jackson can learn to appreciate this! Kaden has learned a lot this year at preschool at his day care. He loves to sing ( he was singing his lungs out in the bathroom at the ice cream parlor last night!!), loves to imagine with toys, and loves to read. If you ask him his favorite letter, he smiles sweetly and reports W. We love him very much! 
Here are the pictures from New Years Eve.... I realized after I posted them that the first picture should be at the end. This is the picture of what happens when you let you 18 month old stay up until Midnight celebrating and enjoying the party....MELT DOWN!!! But, oh we had so much fun, so if was definetly worth it! We went to Shelley and partied at my friend Karla's house with her family and her sister Kari and her family. It was so much fun! We laughed so hard. There was 9 kids between us all and it was a blast! My boys loved the kareoke machine! Even Miss B channeled her inner diva and sang her lungs out! It was a great way to ring in the new year. There was great food and super friends! Jackson especially loved the chicken wings. What can I say, he takes after me. We love our hot wings!! Thanks for letting us come up for the party Karla, and for letting us sleep over as to avoid the crazies on the road!! 
The monster unleashed.....
Don't you just love her pinky all pointed in this picture?!?
Kaden singing the best ABC song ever...
Nothing like a plate full of naked chicken bones.... That's my boy....makes a mommy proud!!My sister and her family got the boys an army tank and an army jet. They LOVE them! My boys are so into soldier things!! This was by far the most popular gift received at our house! And they played quite well with each other, and switched back and forth.
Miss B got a bunch of necklaces in her stocking and Jackson got her a little purse set with bracelts. She got all prettied up in her bling and took her baby for a stroll.
It's so fun for me to watch how different is Brooklyn is from her brothers. She is SUCH a girl!! She loves her babies and lookin pretty. My mom got her some bottles for her babies, and she went and found one right away to give her a drink. This is my fabulous mom with Brooklyn.
Jackson got some guns from my mom. The boys have had lots of fun with a gun each and a walkie talkie. Playing army of course!
I was so excited to give Brooklyn this present! I found the complete Snow White set. She got the dress, the crown, the apple purse, the red satin gloves, the necklace, and the wand. The only thing we're missing is the shoes, but I didn't want any broken ankles just yet. She loves to dress up and look pretty. I'm thinking of getting a new set every year. I believe in equal opportunity princess exposure. Although, I saw the Sleeping Beauty set the other day and OH MY GOSH!!! Maybe a Valentines Day present????
