A week ago we had over 2 feet of snow with drifts much higher.  After the digging out there was a hill of snow to be conquered and they took advantage of it. 

 

Wacky Wednesday

 Trevin had Wacky Wednesday at school and this is what he chose to wear.

Birthday

 My birthday was a couple of weeks ago and I got exactly what I wanted.  Nathan, Stacy, the boys, Carrie and Dave came over and brought dinner and we played games.  Couldn't ask for anything better.

Right at Home

 It doesn't take very long for these guys to make themselves at home.  This was the scene minutes after they arrived on Valentine's Day.

I am glad they feel so at ease here.  

But it is also a good feeling that as soon as they hear their parents coming to pick them up they all make a dash to the front door to meet them.

Valentine's Day

We had Valentine's dinner with these guys while their parents went out to dinner.

Kaiden enjoyed the kid friendly menu of corn dogs, chips, carrot and celery sticks.

Trevin helped peeling the carrots.  When he graduated from Kindergarten he said he wanted to be a cooker when he grew up.  He still has great interest in learning in the kitchen.

Gavin was excited about something that was going on during dinner.

 Rylan stole my corn dog and seemed to be very proud of himself.

We had a great evening.  Love these guys.

Twelve

 

We had a family celebration for Kaiden's 12th birthday the Saturday before.  

We do not know what we will do for our day we spend just with him.  I asked him if he wanted to wait until it was safer in the pandemic or to just spend a day with us at our house playing games or watching movies.  He said both.  😀

 This is Gavin blowing his Bugle snack yelling toot toot.

I have a couple of cute things about him I wanted to write down before I forget them.

At Christmas he would sing "Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Hear all the way, What fun in the ride".

He says his name is Gavin Blee.  It is Gavin Lee.

When we were lighting candles for Kaiden's birthday he asked if he could blow one out if he promised not to spit.

Whenever Rylan is really upset and crying alot he will bring him a stuffed animal to cuddle.
