Go Cards!

So I found some cheap tickets to the Cardinals game.  Obviously, we had to go.  The boys have just started getting into watching football with Dad, so they were excited at the chance.

We won, we had some hot dogs, and everyone was happy! McKenna did a great job, she only needed to be held the last half hour.  She was a big hit with everyone around us.  The boys are anxious to go back.  The SuperBowl is here this year, but I don't think our Cardinals have a chance.  

I love that the boys got some Cardinals hand-me-downs.  They looked great!

McKay turns six!

With McKay, the smaller the smile the more excited he is.  Sometimes he doesn't want you to know that he is happy.  But those dimples don't lie!

He decided he wanted a bigger family party rather than one with friends.  We had Julie and Annette over for dirt pie, steak and shells and cheese.  He got some panda stuff, lego sets, and light sabers.  He was in heaven. Rather than an activity (bowling, swimming, etc.) he chose to play video games.  So we bought him Mario Kart and we had a family race off.  Needless to say, the boys are amazing at it.  I am not. 

I have to include this because Logan is sticking his tongue out, which he does when he concentrates.  It reminds me of my grandmother, Violet Kueffler, who did the same thing.

What?  The force I have.

Loren and McKay went on a special trip, just the two of them, to pick out a special gift. McKay picked out the crossbow. He has had a great year, and (finally!) grew two inches.

McKenna loves the bullets.  Happy birthday my sweet boy!

School Pics!

Rather than having the same old boring school photos, my friend April at talkstoryphotography.blogspot.com took some pictures of the kiddos. 

Logan has been on a reading kick lately.  McKay is not a fan, and keeps on trying to interrupt so Logan will play with him.  So I keep hearing, "McKay!  I am reading!"  I caught him with a flashlight and a book late one night.  I didn't have it in me to stop him.

McKay has been a huge fan of origami lately.  We have got him a ton of books and have paper scattered everywhere.

I have become quite adept at making cranes and flapping birds.

McKenna is scooting all over the place.  She is a very fast army crawler, but doesn't seem interested in crawling.  She is already pulling herself up on furniture, and has gone up four stairs.

She likes to sleep on her hands, so everytime she wakes up she has a palm print and individual fingerprints on her face.

She also has two new teeth!  She is a great teether, I didn't even know she was teething until I saw them.  I hope the rest of her teeth are as easy.
