Basketball season begins!

 Let the games begin!  Both girls are signed up for basketball and it has been fun, but busy!
Kimber has practice M and Wed. While Holdyn is Tues and Thurs. with two games on Saturdays. 
They have both gotten so much better!
 Kimber loves practices, but isn't into the competitiveness of the games so much.
Maybe because she is the smallest one on the court.
 She is, however, always excited to get her treat at the end of the game :)
 I love my two little girls!  I didn't get any good shots at Holdyn's game, she was so fast they were all fuzzy :)    LOVE THESE GIRLS!  Cody isn't much for being a still cheerleader, he REALLY wants to play with them and not sit on the sidelines :)

Holdyn's Valentine's Party

  Holdyn has been BEGGING me to have her friends over for a party since before Halloween. Since she has a summer birthday, and we always moved just before her birthday, she hasn't ever had a friend party. So I promised her we could do a Valentine's party.  It came up quick and she didn't forget.  So she made invites and we had 12 girls over (All the girls in her class).  I wish I had taken more pictures, but it got crazy. She had so much fun painting, jumping, playing Pin the lips on Lady Love, and Funny Bones.  She gave them all a red rose to take home.  It was a huge success and now she is already asking about her next party :)



HAPPY VALENTINE'S Day!!

Silver High Dance Camp

 These girls had a weeks worth of Dancing with the High School Drill team.
They LOVED every minute of it!

 They performed at the HS Girls Varsity basketball game.

 They did such a great job and had so much fun!!

Andrus' visit Silver/Science night at Jose Barrios

 Jessica and Cody sharing some popcorn while the older kids play spoons!
 We love having visitors!!!   The Andrus' stopped by on their way home and spent a few fun filled days before heading onto TX.   We enjoyed every minute and the kids ask when they are going to come again!
 We had a fun trip to the City of Rocks.




 JB Elem had people from EXPLORA in Albuquerque come for a fun science night.
We had lots of fun with the different things set up....Cody wouldn't leave the fans.






Always love the family activities they do at the school!!

Dr. of the Day visits NM State Legislature in Santa Fe

 So Proud of this guy!


Mr. Cody enters the Terrible 2's!

 This was such a fun morning!  Cody wasn't expecting the fun surprises in store on his birthday morning!  Daddy being there was one fantastic bonus! Cody loved the decorations!
 He got a fun remote control car that he LOVES! 
Especially when he can get it to chase after his sisters!


 He currently LOVES Thomas the Train and anything to do with Cars.
He loves to make the 'vroom vroom' noises.
 Later in the day we got to spend some time at the Rocko's!  
This is one of the kids' favorite places!  The girls love
the horses and Cody loves to play in the barrels and with the dogs!




We are so blessed to have little Cody in our family!  He is most certainly a daddy's boy.
He loves his sisters and will wait at the window for the girls to get home from the bus.
He loves to help me wake up the girls in the morning.  He also is a huge helper!  He will sit on the edge of the kitchen counter for hours while Ben or I cook, clean and everything else.  He loves to be up and helping!  He especially loves to stir the eggs before we scramble them, and pancake batter before we cook them.  He loves to watch the toaster until it goes 'pop'.  He loves popcorn and will wait by the microwave dancing and signing "Popcorn" with his hands,  until it is finished cooking. He is a snuggler and LOVES to be involved with whatever is going on! He loves to smile and make others laugh.  We LOVE this kid!!
