Apollos turns 6!

                                            Apollos got a bow-n-arrow for his birthday from Solomon and me.

                                             Playing at Apollos' Ninja party.  They loved these balloon sticks.  They could wack each other really hard and it didn't hurt!

                                            Ellie getting in on the action of playing with all the sticky stuff.

                                             My attempt (with mom's help) at making Ninja cake pops.

                                      The weather was gorgeous on Apollos' birthday.  We took him to the park for lunch and got happy meals.  

                                     Ellie wasn't too sure about the tire swing.

                                       A train even drove by while we were there!

Brothers wrestling...I know this is only going to get more intense as they get older!

I can't believe my baby boy is now 6!  Time is going by so fast!  He is such an awesome kid!  He can read and do math problems.  He loves school and loves to learn.  He is in to robotics, dinosaurs, Ninjas, and anything with super heroes.  He also loves to draw.  He likes to design his own bat suit that he one day wants to build.  He is such a joy to have as a son!

Snow, presents, and trains!

   In the beginning of December, we got hit with a HUGE snow storm!  We got around 8 inches of snow, and Apollos was out of school for 7 days!  It was the first real snowfall we've had in a long time.  It was too dry to make snowmen though.  We came up with a lot of activities to keep the kids busy.  Playing with clay, making power balls, going to the movies, and just having fun around the house!

                                        The kids playing slot cars with Daddy!
 

                                          Ellie fell asleep eating one of her favorite foods....salsa. :)

                                                Apollos playing video games before we went to see Frozen.

                                                 My little Ninja Warrior!

                      Despite the snow, we made it to the Christmas Train.  The kids loved riding on the train!

                                          Eating snow ice cream for the first time.

                                       Opening St. Nick's Day presents.  Thankfully, St. Nick planned on movies this year as part of their presents....helped entertain them with all the snow!

                                        Ellie wasn't too sure about the snow.
