Left Over 2013

 This kid made a helicopter out of paper.  It was really neat!  He impresses me all the time with his creativity.

 Tater is a dancer.  I hate that these phone pictures are so horrible but I caught him mid move here.  We turn up the music and he will just dance.

 Cole was earning a 4-H award here!  Can I get that kid to look up and smile?  No!

 This was the last nice day in 2013 before it got really cold.  So I decided to take the kids to the zoo. It was really enjoyable.

 There were not a ton of people there and the kids were able to see what they wanted without having to wait.

 Morgan is so cute and expressive.  Love those big brown eyes!

 The boys are at a bank opening up their first saving account.  From the sale of Cole's pig he was able to put a nice chunk of money away.  And Carson is getting one too.  He is a good little saver. Can you tell it was pretty painful for Cole to be there with me taking pictures of him!

 Another horrible phone picture....but this is when we took the family to the Hale Theater to see a Christmas Story.  It was really fun.  I love doing new things with the kids.  Marley the ghost spooked them pretty good but I think they really enjoyed it.

 Waiting for Mike at work and we decided to pull out the phone and take some pictures.

 Cole learning to shoot with the .22.

 Carson..

And Morgan.....

Sometimes its easy to see all the things I am failing at as a mom.. but I know there are some things we are doing right with the kids.  I love them more than I can express!   I hope that we will be able to do lots of fun activities together and build a strong, united family.
