I haven't been very good about pulling out the camera these past few months. We have been busy. Here a few pictures I did manage to take. Enjoy.
We celebrated Gordon's birthday in January. The poor man was stuck in bed with the flu. This is the sign the boys and I made for him.
We have been doing a bunch of fun homeschool activities. See the Titus homeschool blog on the top left of this page to see what else we have been doing for school. Here is a picture of the boys playing with a bucket of beans I put out for Lincoln to practice scooping and pouring with. All young kids love sensory bins and tubs. They like to find little objects I hide in the beans.
It has been a really cold winter this year. We had a couple nights when it reached -16 F which killed all of our bee hives. So sad! So between the really cold weather and our family getting the nasty illnesses that went around for two months (strep throat, head cold, stomach flu, croup, bronchitis) most of our activities have been indoor. We went went cousins and family to the Jump Zone in February.
We went to the Circus in February and bought cotton candy. The boys LOVED the candy. The circus was just ok. Too many immodestly dressed performers and a bit slow. I guess that it what you get when you attend a small sized circus for such low ticket prices.
Lincoln picking up pompoms with salad tongs and placing them in the muffin tin.
We did go out at least once to play in the deep snow. Gordon and Alexander had to pull the snow off the carport to keep it from crashing down. Lincoln was loving the snow.
William sitting next to where I shoveled the front walk. This gives a better idea of the depth of the snow.
Winter Wonderland. I loved all the snow!
Made our own snow cones with some freshly fallen snow. The first time my boys have had these.
During the winter this is everyone's favorite spot. The large heat vent in the living room. Even mom sneaks a 10 minute nap next to the warmth sometimes.
Always thinking of games to play at our house. Here Alexander is bowling. He stacked empty vegetable cans and then rolled a small ball at them.
I gave in and let them have learning computer time during the week days. Normally we only watch movies or play on the computer on Friday or Saturdays, but being stuck indoors for so long was getting old.
A typical look at my home on a week day. William making designs with flat shapes, Lincoln staking and Alexander playing with Legos.
Being creative with boxes.
William decided to give himself and his little brother a hair cut. This is his fine work.
Mom buzzes their hair. New style.
I took Alexander and William to a boy party that the Library put together. The kids had so much fun!
They got to decorate cupcakes and place a superhero ring on top as decoration.
They also designed and decorated their own super hero capes.
Made elephant toothpaste and slime for science at the party.
Lincoln being his fun self. His nursery teachers talked about bugs one Sunday and gave him these glasses. So fun. Our boys have such great teachers at church.
Me attempting to take a picture of all three handsome boys. It is always a fun time trying to get everyone to look and smile at the same time. These are my two favorites...well the only ones where everyone was looking at the camera. They crack me up.
We had the chance to visit my Grandpa Johnson in Colorado at the first of March. I didn't have my camera charged enough so I didn't get a chance to take a multi generational picture. I'm so bummed. But we are so glad that we got to visit Great Grandpa and see my mom, dad and brother. That makes 2 times of seeing my Dad in a 3 month period. What birthday present for me!
Grandma Kim bought these bird house kits. They built and then painted them. They love activities like this.
For this past Easter weekend we spent Saturday up at Uncle Greg's house. He prepared a wonderful lunch for all the family who were able to come. The kids colored eggs, rode horses, played with cousins, and searched for eggs at the park after the adults hid them. It was a beautiful spiring day. I even sat and listened to a meadow lark bird sing. It was lovely.
I think this is Lincoln's first time to ride a horse. Thank you uncle Greg for letting the boys ride. It was a wonderful day.
