Silly Kiddos...

Well we've still been stuck in the house lately because it seems like when it's not cold and does warm up enough to be outside the ground is so unbelievably muddy I don't want to deal with the mess... I'm going to have to learn to get over that. Not much has been going on, but we have gotten a couple of cute pictures and videos of the kids.

Aubrey is really starting to like her walker.

I said "smile." I guess I got what I asked for :)


Caleb is really into dancing right now...We like to call it a form of "interpretive" dance. He has a few moves he really likes to show off :)



Aubrey keeps trying new baby food...Some of her facial expressions are priceless, and she's also developed a cute "scrunchy" face when she smiles at you :)



Brownie time :)


Scrunchy face!

Final Christmas post of 2014 :)

One of our last Christmas gatherings was at Great Grandpa Ron's house on Saturday December 27th. We arrived early because we had another Christmas to get back to in Northwood. Caleb loved playing with mommy's cousin Dawson. He enjoyed showing Great Grandpa Ron some of his new planes. Aubrey enjoyed meeting all of mommy's "crazy" :) family. It was so much fun. We were sad to leave before the party really got started, but we had to get back for Grandma Teresa's family's Christmas party. So we said our good-byes, took some pictures, and forgot our camera!...


Showing Grandma Linda his new airplanes...

Notice the "buzzing" in the background...I think it's grandpa flying airplanes with Caleb :)

 Here's what happens when you forget your camera at the Ramthun family Christmas... Thanks for the memories Ramthun family :)









Like I said, we had headed back to Northwood to celebrate with Matt's mom's side of the family, but needless to say we don't have any pictures because we had forgotten our camera. I guess there's always next year...

Christmas at Great Grandma Ruth's!

Friday the 26th, we celebrated Christmas at Great Grandma Ruth's house. We didn't have much time to spend together, but the time spent together was wonderful! The more the family grows, the more difficult it becomes for everyone to get together, so it was really nice to see everybody.

Aubrey and Alanna

Being silly with mommy...

kisses :)

Grandma Ruth was a good girl...she had lots of presents :)

After the day at Great Grandma Ruth's, Caleb and Aubrey were ready for a story from Grandma Marjean and then headed off to bed.

Christmas Day at Grandma Marjean's!

We arrived at Grandma Marjean and Grandpa Dale's house around 3:00...Caleb and Aubrey enjoyed naps on the drive, and Matt and I enjoyed the quiet :). Uncle Adam, Aunt Sarah, Nolan and Landon were already there, and Great Grandma Ruth showed up shortly after we arrived. We had snacks, the kids played, and we got to open up our stockings. Supper was delicious! Then it was time for presents... What a wonderful day!

I think Landon is ready for a little sister of his own :)

So we tried to get a good picture of the kiddos...and this was the result...





Ready for Christmas day fun!

Nolan's looks ready to be a big brother again :)

Stocking time!

Wow, a tractor :)

Enjoying time together.

More presents!
And then the camera died...so we didn't get any more pictures at Grandma Marjean and Grandpa Dale's.
