Time for a blog picture dump!
On Monday, January 8th, the kids once again began 4H shooting sports, otherwise known as B.B. gun shooting. This is Noah's third year and Evie's first, which is mostly due to Moses' sister and her friend Abigail also taking part. This photo is from the second week with Moses modeling the standing position.
A couple nights later on January 17th, Samuel finally lost his second loose tooth. A week before he had been yanking and pulling with all his might to pull it out, but it just wasn't ready.
So after later inspecting it and discovering it was hanging on by a thread, I insisted he pull it out. It came out incredibly easy.
The tooth fairy left him this note and a dollar!
The following weekend brought another pizza movie night, which we do every week. Have I talked about this before? Probably. But this night Terry was teaching Samuel and Ezra to play chess while I was busy in the kitchen.
Since Samuel and Ezra have been gluten free for a couple months, I've been making Bob's gluten free pizza crusts. I discovered that night that the boys like the crust better if it's thin like this.
They found a more comfortable location to continue another game.
The boys' first thin crust pizza.
And our pan fried pizza. DROOL. It never gets old. I do hope I don't have to go gluten free. Pizza night would be the only hard part.
A selfie with Samuel during school the next week.
Evie shooting animal crackers January 22. She's actually doing very well.
And Noah. Sitting is his best position.
We went on a walk every day during the second to last week of January since it was actually pretty nice and sunny. This the kids' favorite path to take, the "secret way."
I thought Ezra was just so darn cute skip counting by tens on January 25.
After lunch that day we drove down the road to the nearby park because I didn't have time to walk and go to Sams afterwards. The kids love going there with Luna because she's the Lava Monster they all run from. I think it's funny that she runs up the stairs and then down the slides.
Luna won't go down the spiral slide so that's why they're all huddled together on that one while she's on the landing sniffing around.
That Lava Monster is scary.
That night I kept running in and outside to watch the sunset. First it was all golden light...
...and then beautiful pink.
The following day, January 26, was a Friday and we sort of sat around after breakfast and the Price Is Right. Daddy went through the box of old childhood things that his parents gave him while cleaning up their basement and storage room. Here's his college full marathon medals! He's even bought a metal engraver to put his times on the backs. :D
Also some adorable early elementary school class photos. He's SO cute!
I think he was able an eighth or ninth grader here...
High school basketball.
A few weeks before we had gone through a box of old things in our closet and came up with a few oldies. My parents at Spearfish Falls after tree hunting when we were dating or engaged; so around 2002 or 2003
We couldn't even read the letters that we had written each other back then; they were way too mushy and gross, like this photo. When we visited me at SDSU in 2003 we went to a garden and took pictures with each other. Boy I was young though.
This was the day after we got engaged, April 20, 2003.
And finally, I have several videos, the dates of which I cannot remember, but are cute and fun.
Ezra wanted to make a video with me and surprised me with what he wanted to say.
Luna has been learning to do tricks each night with Daddy. This is actually the pinnacle of her training thus far. At first she could only roll one way. She was an ambi-turner like on Zoolander. HA! But now she can go both ways.
Evie pushes and spins those littles with what seems endless patience.
Staying and Shaking were two of Luna's first tricks.
Next came Lay Down, which seemed to take forever for her to figure out.
