January 2016

January is boring for some people, but not for us! We get to celebrate Cole's birthday!
This year Cole turned 3!! His Grammy and Pop gave him a suitcase so he can pull his own weight on our trips to New Jersey! He loved the rocket ships!
He requested a "Worman cake!"
What the heck!?! So get got a dirt colored cake with gummy worms. He seemed happy enough with that, so we're calling it a win!He was so excited for the candles!
Cole has loads of energy and loves to be busy and active.
He has his own mind, for sure!
Cole loves snakes and lizards.
His favorite color is turquoise blue.
He adores his baby brother.
Backyardigans is his favorite show.


The kiddos have figured out some fun ways to combat the slow, cold month of January.
They performed a play and recruited Dad to fill in some roles.
Sheridan designed and built (again, she recruited Dad for help) the Book Hook, a little bookshelf one can hang on their bed--super handy for bunk beds!

She modeled it so nicely!

Sheridan also received an "Everyday Leader" award for  the school.

Micah kept me busy, looking so cute!

I honestly cannot get enough of his handsome face! I love to snuggle him and he loves to be snuggled!
Jack placed in the grade spelling bee and won second place!
Tyler escaped the cold altogether at the end of the month and went to the Rising Star Outreach campus in India to celebrate the dedication of the Ron and Joyce Hanson Hostel. Tyler was so blessed to be a part of the big things at RSO. We had no idea this would be his last trip to India.
This trip he was there over a weekend and had the chance to visit some historical sites. I really need him to remind me where these are!
It was hot and beautiful and quite the contrast to January in Utah!

While he was gone, my girlfriends and I took our oldest girls to BYU Theater Ballet's production of Alice in Wonderland. The dancing was beautiful, but the costumes and sets blew us away!
So grateful for girlfriends who help keep me sane, especially when Tyler's not home!

These cute girls loved the ballet part, even if we all agreed that Alice in Wonderland is a WEIRD story!

We wrapped up the month with a birthday celebration for Great Grandpa! It's always fun with those Limbergs and Martins!
