Getting Big, Bowling & Bed Buddies!

Doesn't Jenna look so grown up in this picture? She's just one of the kids now, off playing all day long. She's such a sweetie - just growing up way too fast!



We went bowling for Birgitta's birthday. This is the first time we'd ever taken the kids. Ashton was especially fun to watch! He, of course, had to do it all by himself. He'd carry the ball over, throw it down, stand there frozen until the ball made it down the lane (sometimes this took quite awhile) and turn around with the biggest smile on his face! What a cutie!



Good form Cole!





While we were off on our cruise, the boys were very impressed with Grandma Birgitta's bed buddies she would warm up at night and put in bed with her. So what's a good grandma to do? Take the boys to the store to pick out material and make them their own bed buddies. Okay, so they are cute and all...but not at 1:30 in the morning when Ashton is crying for his bed buddy to get warmed up again. When we are driving in the morning and it's cold Ashton wants his bed buddy, when he sits down to watch a movie Ashton wants his bed buddy. As I sat in the kitchen at 1:30 in the morning waiting for the microwave to ding, I decided that we were going to have some bed buddy rules - bed buddies get warmed up one time just before bed and they stay in bed all day until it's bedtime again. So far so good - we haven't lost anymore sleep over bed buddies. Thanks grandma! ;)
