Sean being "Papa"

Sean:
The birthday boy had a great birthday this year! Thanks to everyone for making it so special! Graham and I make a cake every year for his birthday. This year he wanted a Monster Truck cake. I found a great pan and followed a picture online...didn't turn out as a truck, more like a Monster Car. Thank goodness for Auntie Amy and her skills! She made him the biggest and best Monster Truck Cookies and Cupcakes! She was able to save the day :)

He loves being 4, and loves telling everyone that he is "bigger now!" I woke him up that morning telling him I think that he grew...his legs and arms looked bigger, and his teeth looked sharper...Now he tells this to everyone he meets ;) Still can't believe he is 4!! I look back at pictures and remember holding him like it were yesterday. Now, he tries to rationalize with us and says the cutest things. Here are a few famous Sean phrases;

1. "Why don't you think about it, Mom."
2. "Oh, rabbits!" (instead of 'darn it')
3. "You're going down, and I'm going to the top!" (when wrestling with Daddy)
4. "Isaac Jones" or "Andrew Jones" (after one of his favorite books 'Skippyjon Jones')

Isaac:
Loves to be able to climb and stand on anything and everyone. Loves to be under tables and pounding with his hammer on the wall and/or floor. He has two teeth and the best smile! Loves to cuddle and explore!

Andrew:
He is standing on his own and letting go of things. I really think he will be walking soon! His cousin said his teeth look like "Mator teeth," and we think he is right! He is so cute and loves to "talk" and chase his puppies! He just sits and laughs at them as they chase around the room.

Hoping there are no more snow storms! We want to visit Mankato and see all our family and friends again soon :) Spring can't get here fast enough!

Life is good!

Andrew is finally feeling better after being sick this last week!
Amazing how they can still play and smile when they feel so crummy.
Isaac loves to bang his hammer on the tile floor!
We think he has a natural talent inherited from his daddy!
Here is our artist working hard on his Valentines!
He loves to draw, color, write letters, and numbers! Learning is so fun!

Took the boys for a Valentine treat at DQ today! Sean and Isaac LOVED it! Andrew, on the other hand, gave a sour puss look at how cold it was!
Now, date at home tonight with my hubby now that the kiddos are all tucked in, can't wait :)

Happy Valentine's Day!
