Way behind again! Another Catch up Post!

In the beginning of February my mom and I and the kids took a little trip to Walla Walla to visit with my Grandparents. We had a great time! We love spending time with them!!!!

Grandma-Great made Valentine cookies with the kids :)

One of the Sundays in mid February was super nice! We decided to take advantage of it and go for a walk at Riverfront Park

While on our walk on the Centennial Trail (on the other side of the river from Riverfront Park) we saw a tree that Beavers had made bite marks on and knocked down. Daddy was showing Kambria the marks :)

So much Birthday Fun!

Saturday, January 29th was full of Birthday fun!!! We had 3 parties to go to, but only ended up making it to 2. The first was Baby George's 1st birthday party. (pics at the end of this post) The second, and the "funnest" party ever, was Kaden's 6th Birthday party. My brother Brandon reserved spots for us to have fun at "Sky High", a trampoline fun center!!! My Dad, Mom, and I were the only ones that didn't jump, everyone else had a blast jumping for an hour! Next time I will definitely join in on the fun, I was taking care of Benson this time. The 3 of us who didn't jump had a lot of fun watching everyone else though!

Eli was so excited that he didn't even wait for Daddy to go up to the trampoline with him!

Kambria and Jon

Kambria jumping in the children's section, she pretty much had it all to herself at that point! :)

They have an area where you can jump and flip into a pool of foam cubes! Everyone had a blast trying it out! This is a pic of Jon helping Eli out.

I wish I would have gotten some better pictures of Kaden! He was Awesome!!!

Jon

Brandon, from the side wall trampoline! :)

Grandpa sat with Benson while Grandma and I took pictures of everyone jumping into the foam pool. Such a happy cute boy!!!

We went to Brandon's girlfriend's house afterward for some pizza and cake

We bought Kaden a scooter. He got a Nerf set from Grandma and Grandpa, and an awesome bike from his Dad!

Baby George's birthday party was earlier in the day. :)

Happy 1st Birthday sweet boy!!!!

Kambria wanted to wear her cowgirl outfit to the party, she planned it days in advance! :) Here she is with Benson! She loves her baby brother so much! I can't believe he will be 8 months tomorrow!!!

A Loved Sick Mommy

The Bronchitis bug hit our house this past month and I got hit with it the worst!!! I am grateful it was me that got it the worst though and not Jon or the kids! Here is a picture Jon took one night when I guess the kids needed their Mommy! :)

A Snowy Spokane Winter

It is almost the middle of February, and I definitely have the "spring itch" and hope we don't get anymore snow that sticks and would Looooovvve for it to start warming up!!!! We have gotten our fair share of snow this year and have had some amazingly beautiful (yet freezing) days. Here are some pictures outside our house of the beauty and the fun this snowy season has brought. :)

Eli's New Teeth

Eli's 2 front teeth became very weak and pieces kept chipping off. In the beginning of January he had oral surgery to correct it and got "new teeth". The surgery went really well and he came out of it like a champ.....at least after crying for a short time as he "came back too". We are so happy to have his beautifully cute smile back!!! We love this kid!!!

Christmas in February??? :)

Okay....so I am a little late getting this post up!!! :) Most people would just forget about it and start on current stuff, but I really want to catch up! I LOVE Christmas time.


Our cute kids all dressed up for church and being good for Mommy while she takes pictures in front of the Christmas tree.



Sleeping Santa Baby




Kambria and Eli decided to try and pack themselves up to be wrapped!!! ;)






Christmas Day~ Benson opening his first Christmas present

Eli got a lot of "Cars" and "Toy Story" things

Kambria wanted a black poodle stuffy! Daddy, Grandma K, and I looked ALL OVER for one and finally found one the week of Christmas!!! Thanks Daddy!!!!

The Game "Jenga" became an inside joke between Rhiannon, Jon, and I about George. We Love you George!!! So we bought it for him for Christmas and had fun playing it!!! It got mighty high!!!

We had a GREAT Christmas this year!!! One of my favorite times of the Year!!! We are so blessed with such wonderful friends and family to share it with!!!

The BIG CATCH (up) of 2 Seasons!

I have been horrible at keeping up with my blog! It used to take priority over Facebook, but now it is quite opposite. Since I have been sick for the last week and am finally on the mend but still don't have the energy to get a lot done at home, I decided that it would be a great time to catch up!!!
Going all the way back to October!!!!

Greenbluff~ a gem of the Spokane area where many go to enjoy something for each season! One of our favorite times to go is right before Halloween for pumpkins and apples. :) This year we went up there with my (Maryanne) family.

Benson looking cute in Daddy's sunglasses while watching his brother, sister, and cousin play in the maze.



Kaden and Kambria showing us where they are in the maze



Eli did not want to get off this tractor! Future farmer maybe??? :)

We went on a hay ride through the apple orchard, Benson fell asleep. :)

We picked LOTS of apples!!!! Here is Kaden trying to get a "high" one!

Grandpa K helping to carry Kambria's pumpkin out of the mostly green pumpkin patch. The weather made for slim pickings this year!

Eli sat and waited on the one that he wanted! :)

A couple days before Halloween we went to my parent's to carve pumpkins. It looks like Eli has been helping himself to the pumpkin guts! :) .....only it is just the yummy frosting from his pumpkin cookie that Grandma gave him. :)

The kids by their finished products. Kambria chose a cat under the night sky and Eli a raccoon popping out of a pumpkin. Thank you Grandpa K and Daddy for helping (mostly doing) the hard work! :)

Our kiddos all dressed up for Halloween! Benson the cute Dalmatian dog, Kambria the beautiful mermaid (she wanted to be like Merlia from Barbie and the Mermaid Tale so she wanted her hair pink) and Eli the adorable Scooby Doo!

In the beginning of November Kambria lost both of her bottom front teeth within a week. She was so excited!!! Especially since she got a visit from the tooth fairy twice in one week! Shortly after, where she lost is where Benson gained! :)

Santa arrived at Riverpark Square the Friday before Thanksgiving. We attended last year and enjoyed it, this year we got there late, but the kids still got to see Santa and we had a good time with Auntie Roo, Madeleine, and Baby George with us too!

Kambria put her reindeer hat on Benson. He is just too cute! :)

Madeleine, Kambria, and Eli having fun on the big gift boxes while waiting to see Santa.

Thanksgiving arrived and brought winter with it!!!!!!! Kambria, Audriana, and Eli had fun playing in it while waiting for dinner to be ready at Grandma Watson's! Eli wasn't sure he wanted anything to do with the snow at first, but as soon as I convinced him to let the girls pull him on the sled, he had a blast! :)

Benson got his first baby food meal for Thanksgiving! Yummy Sweet Potato's!!!

Eli was sneaky and got a hold of the gravy. Before we could do or say anything he had dumped half of it on his plate!

The first Friday of December we went on a date with my parents. We went downtown to enjoy a carriage ride, live band at the Peacock room at the Davenport while eating dinner, and then a stroll around the second level balcony floor where they had a bunch of Amazing Christmas trees displayed!

Benson all bundled up before church in his cute jacket and hat I bought for him before he was born. There are few things that have just been his since he has used a lot of his big brother's clothes.

Eli helping to decorate the Christmas tree. :)

One of the Mondays in December for family home evening we went to the conservatory at Manito Park to enjoy the lights and poinsettias. Kambria was given this exotic/foreign lemon from one of the workers there. She was really excited about it. It smelled so yummy, and later when we broke it open we discovered it to be one of the most sour things we have tasted!

Alrighty.....now that I am caught up to Christmas, I will do a post about that separately. It is nice to finally be getting caught up since I have been thinking about it for a while!
