Kennedey's Basketball Season at an End

This weekend was the end to Kennedey's regular season of basketball. We find out this week if they will be playing in a tournament. For the last game Kennedey's friend Sammie brought them all a pair of knee high crazy socks for Valentine's and to wear for the game. The team did an awesome job this year. Kennedey was usually able to get a basket in for each game. Good job Kennedey Mae and St Joes Hawks!

Tayte and his favorite books


Yummmm


Separating his food


Offering Mom a pear


Okay so I couldn't wait to post these. Tayte is growing up so fast and amazing us everyday with new things. This weekend he was sitting eating lunch and he had his spaghetti and pears together on his tray. I left the room for a quick second and came back to see him separating his pears and spaghetti. He was putting all his pears in the cup holder on his tray. What a smart boy!
The other pictures were taken when I was in the kitchen cooking supper and he had gone into his room and I found him sitting looking at his books.

I thought I would post some pictures from this past month. I'm starting to think maybe I should start updating maybe every two weeks instead of the beginning of each month.
This was a big month. We celebrated Tayte's 1st birthday and my niece Maya's 5th birthday. It's hard to believe a year has gone by already. We are so thankful and blessed to have Tayte in our lives. He is now eating all table food and one bottle a day. He is such a big boy now. He loves to walk all over and especially likes it if you chase him. He has also discovered some cupboards that the child protection locks don't work on anymore along with being able to push the buttons for the DVR and TV. He really thinks that is funny.
This month the girls' attended their first hockey game. Of all games a Des Moines Buccaneers game, if you don't know the Buccaneers they are known to have a few fights during their games. They had a blast.
Tayte experienced his first time sledding. He loved it. He was trying to crawl around in the snow.
Back tracking a little for New Year's Eve Matt took the kids to the science center for their noon balloon drop. Matt said it was pretty neat minus a few people. He said it was a little crowded.
Last but not least this past weekend after Peyton's basketball game, the kids and I and our cousin Nicole were able to go to my niece's birthday party in Moline. Maya turned 5 on the 30th of January. It was great to see them all since we hadn't seen them since Christmas. Maya had a Little Mermaid themed party at the YMCA that my brother is Assoc. Director at. I wish I had more pictures but my battery kept depleting on me. A few minutes after we got the party my sister-in-law Deanna came out in an Ursula costume and her sisters in King Tritan and Aerial costumes. It was pretty impressive :)
Sunday we ended our last weekend in January with a Super Bowl Party at our house. We had a lot of friends show up. Too bad my pictures turned out a little blurry. I think it was the 3D glasses :)
Well that does it for this month.
