Kids......the real reason parents get older.(but they are so cute.)

Spencer is 4 years old now and Carly will be 1 on April 4th.
Carly just never would pitch a smile, usually she does good but was having a bad day.
Spencer on the other hand would gladly give a smile.

Happy Birthday Spencer!

Well, Spencer is a whopping 4 years old today. It has been a fun day. Started by us waking him up this morning and singing Happy Birthday to him. He was pretty sad that he wasn't 3 anymore, but when we told him that there were presents waiting for him, he decided that it would be okay if today was his birthday. So, he opened up his presents, then we had a couple friends over for a party. Then we took him to Chuck E. Cheese for lunch. It's been a good day and I think we're all pretty exhausted.

New Sunglasses and Couches...

Spencer also looking pretty cute...

And here it is, the moment you've all been waiting for... oh wait, it's what

WE'VE been waiting for, and waiting for, and waiting for.... the couches finally arrived!!

So, after a long 6 weeks, our new couches FINALLY came. Yep, Kyle is

still waiting on the recliner to come... maybe someday.

Don't let this picture fool you, Kyle actually only sat on the couches for

like 20 minutes total the first few days they were here. He's been SO busy

at work. I sometimes forget that I have a husband. What a nice surprise when

he comes home and I remember!

Fun times

The last couple of weeks have been pretty fun. Kyle was able to go skiing for the first time in a few years. We went to Explora (a kids museum), and Kyle's family was able to come down and visit. Here are some pictures...

We played a pretty intense game of Disney Trivial Pursuit. This is Kyle and Katie putting their heads together to try and get the answers... it didn't work because they lost :)

Us at Old Town.

The kids at Explora. This is the elevator. There are also 2 couches and another chair in it, so you can imagine how big it is. Spencer thought it was pretty cool.
