Big snow and Big Brothers to a _____?

Landen had a dentist appointment for a regular checkup and cleaning and I was afraid he would be nervous since he got a filling the last time we were there. Suprisingly though he enjoyed being there and seemed to not even think about our last visit.

We had a huge snow, I'm pretty sure it broke records for our area. So of course we had to get out and play in it...

We even hooked the inner tube up to the UTV and man was that fun! I, of course, didn't ride due to being pregnant but Inhad a blast watching everyone else!

Landen and I made our annual Valentine's cupcakes and he did the sprinkles ALL by himself this year.

His new favorite card game is "Go Fish" so we have been playing it A LOT! 

This month we finally got to find out if we will be welcoming a sweet little girl or boy...

We all found out together at our gender reveal party...

And the balloons were pink!!! So the boys will be having a little sister. Ethan is thrilled! Landen on the other hand is slowly warming up to the idea. He kind of had his heart set on a little brother but we have no doubt he'll fall in love as soon as baby girl arrives.

This morning Ethan was recognized during a ceremony at school for achieving distinguished in reading on his 

K-prep test and proficient in math! 

He makes us so proud!!

Landen's Recent Shenanigans...

So this little cutie lost a tooth on January 5th! He had barely been five for a week. He bit into an apple and out it came! I was so unprepared for this milestone as his older brother was at least a year older when he lost his first tooth.

 Landen was very concerned and teared up saying "I don't want to lose my toof!". He calmed down after we explained that it would come back in and he was thrilled about the tooth fairy coming to visit. We can now see two little white spots where the new tooth is coming in and he checks every single day to see if it's made any progress on its journey. Love him!

This boy is a riot! 

He torments our 11 month old lab, Axel, daily. And luckily we couldn't have chosen a better dog to take the aggravation from a rough and rowdy boy. Axel just takes it in stride and never even stops chewing on his bone or toys. Those two are best buds!

Last week after watching Curious George, Landen decided we should make a funny hat from a shoe box. Well we succeeded. That hat is over the top!

We spent one recent afternoon working on writing his name. He's making great progress!

And scrambled eggs are his new obsession. The kid can eat a dozen eggs in less than five days!! I told him he may turn into a chicken, ha!
