Colt's Birthday.

Colt turned two!! The kids have REALLY been into the movie How to Train Your Dragon recently, so a Toothless the Dragon cake was requested for Colt's birthday celebration. Colt is such a joy to have in our family. His adorable dimples and sweet smile help him get away with alot. He keeps me on my toes all. day. long. Eventhough he is the third child, he is constantly teaching me new things about parenthood. He has a big temper, and a big heart to match it. The bigger he gets, the more I see he has some of both his siblings in him. He is determined and full of energy like Caroline and he will get super cuddly and loving just like Gunner. We still call him baby Colt around here, though he is clearly not a baby anymore. We love him to pieces and are so glad he is apart of our family.     

The finished product. I'd say it was a success, I'm no professional for sure, but I really enjoy making fun cakes for the kids birthdays.

Love you Baby Colt.

Christmas

 This year we spent Christmas as a family of five at home here in Midland. It was fun to see how excited the kids were about each present. I love the magic that the season brings and the time we get to spend together as a family.  
Here are the kids as they were coming into the room, seeing all that Santa brought. 
Caroline really, really wanted this sea horse stuffed animal. 
Colt was content playing with his new Dusty airplane all morning long!!


 My favorite gift for the kids were these costumes. I love Gunner's astronaut outfit!!
