Lots of Family Fun this Week

With our Sunday services beginning at 11 am now (before they started at 9 am) Nixon is more of a handful because he doesn't nap at church. During the second hour he has so much energy and he cannot be contained. This last week I took him into a portion of the gym that wasn't being used and started his basketball training

He is a natural

Monday was Martian Luther King Jr. Day so I had the day off to spend with the family. We started the day by going to the church and playing in the gym 

 Then we went to Triple Play and played games and had a lot of fun together. Of course Kim was there with us but she never made it to any of the pictures. 

Lyza got this little kitty and some smarties ("rockets" in the Canadian) with the tickets that we won from the games

 A friend of ours gave us a calendar that has a craft you can do everyday. She knows how much we like crafting in this house! Here is one of the crafts Kim and Lyza made this week - a gnome, of all things!

 Lyza loved her little garden gnome. So much that she HAD to take it shopping the next day and lost it in the store :( She was pretty devastated. RIP little gnome

 Who has such cute hair when taking a bath?

 I had the pleasure of changing a flat tire in the snow this week. Lucky me!

 Our little guy turned 11 months this week! Wow, we can't believe we will be celebrating his birthday next month

 Sometimes we find our daughter sleeping in really interesting positions

Here she must have fallen off of her bed without waking up

Her blanket (which actually has a hood) on her head

 She wasn't impressed with being filmed as she was waking up. Would you be?

Having a fun time cooking

Lyza had gymnastics lessons again yesterday and had a blast

 Lyza helped her mom make raspberry jam yesterday. Lyza's jam is the best! 

 Saturday night bath time is always an adventure around here

Our little boy can be so silly

He loves to play peek-a-boo

Nixon and Lyza played this game for a long time (the video is the end of the game and of course not as intense as their playing before). Lyza would pop up the toy and Nixon would close them as fast as he could. They did this for a long time

Nixon likes to dance. It is hard to catch on camera, Here is a glimpse

I think that is all for now. Take care
