Cold and cough

This week we have been blessed to have the universal cold and gross cough in our house.  Thankfully Ella is doing well and hasn't seem to have symptoms! 

Unfortunately the three boys have been coughing and quite tired all week.  Ty and Cort only went to school one day. We are grateful that it isn't anything major at this point, but we are also ready for it to go away!

Tripp just couldn't keep his eyes open mid-morning.  He fell asleep in the princess couch with all his "bebes" (babies).  He was so peaceful for that half hour!

Ty's gymnastics

After a number of years watching Ella do gymnastics, Ty wanted to give it a try. 

Uneven bars

 Tumbling

 Tripp wanted to give it a try too.

 

 Balance Bean

He had quite a few tries on the vault. They were able to strike a pose once they were on the vault, then jump off.  He seemed to have his tongue sticking out most of the time!  

 

Fun Day!

Fun day!  We took the oldest 3 kids ice skating and they did fantastic!

Cort picked it up very well.  He seems to have a really good sense of balance.

 Ella does fantastic!

Ty was very excited to be ice skating and was trying really hard!  By the end of the time, he was skating a little bit without the bar!

Then we had movie night.  Tripp was encroaching on Ella's sleeping bag/couch space!

Birthday!

Yup, you are seeing the correct numbers on his birthday cake!

Ty special helper

After missing his last two special helper days, Ty was able to make it up!

He likes to play "worker" and was "fixing" the window at play time.

Snow Day

On a snow day in January, the kids made creations with mini marshmallows and toothpicks!

 Oh Tripp, I'm not sure what to say...
