rudger love

we are so in love with this boy. 

all the cute faces he makes, the bubbles he blows, how observant he is, and how kissable those cheeks are.

 oh, did I mention, how patient he is

 and how much he loves his daddy. 

I sure love my Valentine boys!

sledding

we are loving this snow. what a year.

perfect for a couple days of sledding.

the only problem is trying to control the sleds from crashing

totally gave him a black eye.

worlds greatest mom.

i think all these faces pretty much sum up how it was

but we all agree it was a beautiful day to go sledding.

our school break

we got to sleep in...

in brother's bed.

(which is the tradition every weekend)

 we got to pour over the favorite book from Christmas

and sleep with our favorite new toys

 we played in the snow

we tried to be as cute as possible 

 so that we could wake up extra early and spend some time with mom and dad during their morning time together.

  we cuddled

 we gave kisses freely

we laughed a lot

 after 4 months, we finally got rid of all those paint samples on the wall

 we are loving the results so far

yeah for no more orange beige walls

we counted down the hours until 2013 

6:00 was Levi's

7:00 and 8:00 was Taylor's

9:00 and 10:00 was Corbins

(okay, we actually counted down to the last 10:00 p.m. of 2012)

 we filled out a paper of some of our favorites of 2012 and what we look forward to in 2013

oh boy, it's really light

and oh boy, some kids really need to practice spelling...

love how Corbin's favorite food is romin (noodles)

and the hardest thing of the year was cleaning

love Taylor's favorite food - choklit

and his hardest thing of the year - Rudger crieing and cleening!

Corbin made sure that Levi got his done.

Levi's favorite food - mack in cees (cheese)

what he is most thankful for this year - little pants and short sleeves

I guess next year is all about learning to read for Levi.

(loving the progression of how to spell reading...reding, readin, reading)

 we ended the year with sparkler fun. 

 we pretty much did everything we could during our week off, 

but clean... 

 and it was very nice.
