Let's Go Fly a Kite

It was kind of a chilly day but a perfect day to fly a kite!  I don't think it matters how old you are, flying a kite is fun to do!

Celebrating at Grandma and Grandpa Houghtons

 Adyson really LOVES her little cousins and they LOVE her!

Celebrating some March birthdays at the Houghtons!

Our #4 turns FOUR!

Being the youngest and the last of the March birthdays, Drake had to wait it seemed like FOREVER to finally have his turn at being the birthday boy and boy was he excited!  We woke him up before Bryon left for work (it's a tradition that the kids get to open their presents before school) and Bryon didn't want to miss out.  He is really into Thor and was so excited to get this costume.

Cutest--Meanest-- Thor/Drake

His birthday happened to fall on a preschool day so we got to celebrate with all of his preschool friends too!

That night Grandma and Grandpa Vigil came over for Drake's favorite dinner Quinwa tacos and more gifts from them:)

 Grandma found the "real" fire sword-- Now our Thor is complete!

He wanted a hulk and Thor cake so this "creative" Mom gave him just that!!!

Happy Birthday to our wild and crazy four year old!  Everyday I thank Heavenly Father for this little guy, I'm so thankful for everyday I have with him, he our little miracle!  He teaches us A LOT of patience but also shows us so much love and makes a laugh.  Some things that Drake likes at FOUR: Thor, swords, guns, TV, Wii, friends, brothers, Ady, wrestling with Dad, cuddling with Mom, playing with Grandma Vigil.  Love you Drake the snake!

Adyson Turns 10

 

I can't believe my little Ady is in the double digits. She is growing up into a beautiful young lady inside and out.  This year was her year to have a friend party.  So we set to work trying to come up with the perfect party.  We found a really fun murder mystery readers theater and decided to go with it!  We assigned each girl a part and encouraged them to dress their part.  Her friends were awesome and all came dressed adorable.  She asked Cassie to help with it as the host of the show.  She got to have her party on her birthday....  we set up a big table downstairs and made it look fancy  each girl got a menu but it was all a "mystery" to what they would get... from unicorn poop to zombie brains pixy shovels.  Grandma Rienie made her a darling cake and came dressed to help serve.

We are so super lucky to have this sweet girl in our family, she can keep up with her brothers and play dolls.  She wants to make everyone happy and tries to make good choices. She is very responsible if I ask her to do something she always follows through.  I'm so thankful for her she is my best little friend. She tells me everything and loves to go shopping.  Some things she likes to do at ten:  giggle, play with friends, hang with her brothers, ride her bike, have sleep overs with her grandma's, tease her Dad and make us all HAPPY!  Love you sweet Adyson!!

Broc's Birthday 7

We always let the kids open their presents from us in the morning before school, they wake up to streamers hanging in the kitchen and the Birthday sign on the fireplace.

Adyson is so thoughtful she made this lacrosse stick card for Broc (which he still keeps in his lacrosse bag)

Broc's primary teachers came over and sang Happy Birthday to him and brought over his favorite candy bar. So sweet!

Grandma and Grandpa Vigil come over for dinner and more gifts!

Broc got two remote control cars, Drake was super jealous.

Happy Birthday to our "B" we love you so much! You bring so much happiness and laughs into our lives.  Some things you love to do at 7: play outside with friends, play skylanders( Wii), play with your brothers and sister.  Make his Mom happy, you love little notes left on your bed and you are so sweet to leave little notes for the rest of the family.  You love to sing and listen to music.  You love to wear basketball shorts and t shirts and you are just starting to play your first year of Lacrosse.  Love you Broc the Rock!

Basketball #18--- BROC

The pictures are a little fuzzy but he was FAST! It was so much fun watching this cute team start from all first time players to become a GREAT little team.  I don't think they won any games but they all played awesome and learned so much.  Broc absolutely loved every minute of it.  Most of his team were are boys from our ward, so fun to be able to play with your buddies!
