What We've Been Up To

Well, since January is close to over I decided I better get caught up on this blog and let you know what we've been up to.

We had a fun New Year's Eve this year. My family decided to go out to eat early to beat the crowds and we thought it would be fun and different to try Japanese table cooking. So we went to Sushi Fever and had a fun fiery dinner. Our chef was just hilarious (in fact Cole told him "you're hilarious" at least 50 times) and he was really into lighting fires. Carson was not to keen on the fires but the other kids loved it.

We headed back to our house to play games and eat junk. We had a few incidents (the random exploding light bulb) but had fun.

Towards the end of the holiday break we took the kids to Mt. Charleston to play in the snow, (or Mountain Charleston as Cole refers to it). Dumb me didn't think to take sleds or anything fun to play with so we owe the kids another trip. We had fun eating lunch in the rustic old lodge which Cole informs us was built by cowboys a very long time ago.

Hooray, school started up again after a long and fun break. Cole was excited to go back. It took us a while to get back into our routine. The pictures below depict Carson's crazy bed head he always has when we pick up Cole in the afternoon and Cole modeling a Swedish fish mustache he made from his after school snack.

Playgroups have also resumed again. Carson really enjoys them. Last week's group met in the church gym and everyone brought their kids' bikes, scooters, 3 wheelers etc. Carson loved riding the other kids' 3 wheeler so I think I better find him one for his birthday.

Today we are home relaxing. Cole has been running a fever and not feeling so good since Sunday night and Carson is napping so I decided to finally upload pictures.
And that is our 2009 thus far!

Your New Years sounds toto festive. (And your kitchen is be-ti-ful!)

I love Carson's bed head - lol! The swedish fish mustache is a crack-up too. Funny kid!

I hope Cole feels better asap. :)

Ok, I'm pretty sure you should count the wheels on that again, especially before you waltz into Toys R Us and ask for a "3-wheeler." Cuz I'm pretty sure there's 4 wheels on that Power wheel thing! :) It's been a CRAZY January, and I can't believe we're over 1/2 way thru!
