Enjoying all the new things!

The last week or two, we've just been enjoying all our new things and toys! My new toy was an air fryer, which we have really enjoyed playing with. We've made chicken tenders, burgers, fries, veggies, etc. and other than forgetting to spray the basket with pam and things sticking, everything has been super quick and tasty! I'm enjoying trying some new recipes.

Today I used my new bookmark from Kyler as I read through my devotion book from Lex with my sweet new nail stickers that have lasted 8 days so far!! Love love love!



We made pizza the other night and used the cooking science kit Mimi and Pops gave the kids for Christmas! So fun!



We've made several trips to the park....Kyler skateboards the whole time, Levi rides his bike, Katelyn rollerblades....and we used their new tennis balls and my old rackets and started learning a few basic skills. We've had beautiful weather to be outside and play!



We've also played all their new games they received and pulled out several from the closet we haven't played in a while. Here Katelyn and I are playing Bananagrams!! I won both times ;)



Levi is becoming our little tech guru. He knows way more than I do already. I have a feeling he's going into computer science or engineering one day! Thankful he can help me when Lex is at work!


New Years Eve....

We taught the kids how to play spoons....everyone, except Kyler loved it! It's hard being the littlest!



We toasted in the new year with sparkling drinks and fireworks too!











At 10:00 Lex and I were ready for bed, but these three were determined to stay up until midnight! They played games (just the three of them) until midnight. I believe this is the first time Kyler has ever stayed up that late, I was impressed he made it!! I ended up staying up too and we all stepped outside to watch the fireworks along the horizon, it is amazing how many big fireworks we could see just here from our driveway. It was amazing!


New Years Day....Lex cooked us his good luck dinner.....black eyed peas, greens, & ham! Delish as always. Let's just pray this years works out better than last years :)


Levi cooked us up some Mexican street corn too. He used the cookbook Lindsay got him and made these all by himself. It too was delish!



Building his erector set with Lex....


Katelyn's growing up too quickly these days....she came out dressed like this and thought she was hot stuff! Haha....luckily she doesn't dress like this out of the house yet! Cutie pie!


And I am totally impressed with these nail stickers from Ulta, they have lasted 8 days now with no chips!


Happy New Year!! Here's to a year of hope and love! We are looking forward to see what all God has in store for us this year!
