January Happenings

January is usually a pretty quiet month around here...not a whole lot going on after the busyness of the holidays.  Here are a few random things that happened this month.

First we checked out this cool thing from the library.  In addition to books and movies, the library has puzzles and other educational toys to check out.  Bree was really excited about this one that shows her organs.  I'm not sure she understood that those things are actually inside our bodies, but she's always a sucker for a good dress-up! 

Miles looks great as well.  (I don't think Tess ever tried it on...)

Miles got a few new Lego sets for Christmas and also ordered a few more with birthday money.  I'm so glad he's getting into Legos...for a while he wasn't too interested, but I think they're cool and they are a good way to get away from dang video games!  Here he is showing off a Batman set with a villain (don't ask me his name...I can't ever remember.)

And lastly, here's Bree sitting in her laundry basket.  She got it all set up with comfy blankets and pillows.  She calls it her couch.  And if she's hungry or needs to make a call, she's got her cell phone and a cheeseburger nearby.

Birthday Boys

Bryan's grandpa had a big birthday this year.  Grampa Gee turned 90 on Jan 9.  That is a big deal!  And he is healthy as ever.  Gramma Gee needs some extra care so they live in an assisted living facility.  We were happy to go there and celebrate with them and with most of Bryan's cousins on his mom's side.

Here are all the Utah Terrys (Bryan's big sis lives in Ohio so they couldn't make it.)  These pictures make me laugh a bit.... you can tell there were several different cameras going off so everyone is looking in different directions, some smiling, some not smiling, because they were looking at different photographers.  Oh well!  As least we have some good photos for posterity.

And we have another very special birthday boy in January...Bryan turned the big 3-5 this year!  Here he is at breakfast getting ready to open gifts (and humoring me for a minute with his birthday hat.)

One of the things Bryan loves to do is hunt.  Here he is elk hunting a few weeks ago.  He hasn't had the chance to draw out for a bull yet, but he usually gets a cow tag each year.  We love the meat too so it works out well.
