January Happenings

Here are some pictures from all over the month of January... 

We had New Years Eve movie night with my parents this year. Mom brought over hats and horns. After some very excited horn blowing, the instruments turned into swords. And I preferred them this way. We had snacks and watched Princess Bride. Trevor loved the movie and Ryan fell asleep a bit too early to really tell.

Despite the cold frigid winter weather, we've had a few park outings. Trevor has recently learned how to ride his bike without training wheels and now likes to run off with one of his neighbor friends to ride along the street. Ryan has upgraded to a big boy bike and is pretty excited that he's so big and so fast.

 She likes to hang out but not so into the actual sliding part yet

 Nora has now figured out how to pull up and get around a little bit with the push walkers. Luckily for us she is still working on getting up the stairs.






This is what happens when daddy dresses Nora for church...

We went on a day hike at Red Rock Canyon this weekend. It was super nice out and a lot of fun. Though Ryan argued by the end that it was a bad idea and that he TOLD me that we shouldn't have gone hiking that day. This was about a half hour after his declaring it the best day ever...

Ryan started announcing that I should take a picture of him when we'd approach a good sitting rock.

Lunch break

Nora was really good at spotting the raisin hidden among the pebbles. 

The boys favorite part--they went looking for caves to explore

This was about the point of 'best day ever'
