Happy Birthday Hannah!

Hannah turned 3 this month. 3. Three. THREE! In a couple years she's headed to school. Wow. Anyway, with some of Rodney's FFA trips and this and that, we decided to have a birthday party a couple weeks early since it wasn't gonna happen around that specific day. Invited the folks a day or two before the party. At least they had a few hours notice. :) While Hannah enjoyed having everyone there (and getting presents!), the highlight of the weekend was having her cousins come. Was great to have  you A, D, B, B, B 'n' B!

Play-doh!

Thanks again everyone for coming!

Spaghetti face!

Spaghetti never looked so good!

Growin' up

First time Hannah had a bun (which she requested). Don't think it lasted through meeting, but she was tickled with it!

this look added a few years to her!

*sisters*friends*(most of the time!)

Not sure where the time is going, but these two are growin' up fast. Guess I've blinked a few too many times and forgot that "this too shall pass". Actually, that phrase comes in handy sometimes nowadays. When big sister is picking on little sister. When little sister is aggravating big sister. When big sister is reminding us of her age (terrible twos/trying threes). When little sister is throwing a fit. Yes, she has figured out what to do when something doesn't please her. She's bit big sister a couple times (big sister had that coming as she's bit little sister a few times). Lately she lays on the floor and bangs her head on it. Not sure where she learned that, but you'd think it'd hurt enough she would stop doing that. Then the next minute everything is fine and they're giggling with one another. Just another day in paradise.

Kids. They turn your world upside-down, inside-out and backwards. And you wouldn't have it any other way.

Peeking around to see Jenny

This snow actually stayed around for longer than just a few days. For a little girl with a new sled...was a wonderful time!

Dressed herself in many layers

Need to be quick to get a picture of this one nowadays

Building a snowman...finally!

Quite a few times during the past couple months, Hannah has brought up building a snowman. Winter in this valley doesn't amount to much, as we seem to only get a little snow every now and then. But this time we actually got a "snow storm" (for this area) and were able to make a snowman!

We (heart) huckleberries!

Caterpillar Hannah

At the end of the video she was saying to "lock her in the pen" (caterpillar).

We're going back to Grandma Pat's!

Winter fun
