It's been awhile since we've had a tooth come out in the Strasburg house! Kadence had been obsessing about her wiggly tooth for a solid week! She finally let me pull it out tonight and was very excited to use her new tooth fairy box that she got for Christmas. I sure hope the tooth fairy comes tonight...
*I had a mom ask me why Kadence's tooth fairy often brought a toy when she came the SECOND night because she was too busy the first night. The mom told me that her daughter had said she sure hoped the tooth fairy was too busy the first night like her friend Kendallynn's friend Kadence so she could get a special toy, too! No comment.
It was a fun weekend at home this weekend. Everyone is finally healthy so we had a weekend full of fun.
We kicked off the weekend with some serious spy training. Landon was very excited to play his new game. I think we all had fun playing it! Kenzie took this video of one of my turns and I thought it was too hilarious not to share. Good times.
Saturday evening Clinton and Tara came over for some snacks and fun. They brought their pups Charlie and Oskar which means we officially had more dogs in the house than kids! We practiced some more spy training and they brought their Kinect over for the Xbox where we had a serious dance party! The kids had so much fun! The above picture was actually after the kiddos went to bed and we played. This was me kicking Ryan's butt...amazingly. We also saved the world in a game of Pandemic. We are pretty awesome for old people.
Sunday after church we were all ready for the BIG GAME. I really thought they had finally pulled off a play off win...what a joke! I found this cute video on my phone and had to share it. It was during the Vikings game. It really shows Kadence's personality and when she introduces her baby "Clara" at the end it made me smile. Her teacher who she adores is currently on maternity leave after having her first baby-Clara. She just visited the class last week...
Kadence was so excited to see Mrs. Krumwiede and Clara. I think Mrs K. was pretty brave to bring her newborn into school with all those germs! She's such a great teacher and Kadence is counting down the days until she returns!
Landon had his very first basketball tournament today and his team took 1st place! He has had so much fun this season with this great group of boys. They have all grown so much both individually and as a team. They played three games and won them all by a decent margin.
So proud of Landon and all his hard work!
Little sisters were pretty excited for big brother!
Landon was beyond excited to have his 1st place medal! Pretty big deal when you are 9. Congratulations West Fargo Bison!
Happy Friday. This post has no point other than to brag about this handsome dude. Because after he got ready for school he looked grown up and handsome as ever. Such a sweet boy. GO BISON!
Kenzie has been practicing hard at gymnastics all season. I can't believe the progress she has already made. She seems to really like it and have somewhat of a natural ability. It is a lot of time at the gym-5 hours/week but she seems to handle it just fine.
I stay and watch most days but usually can not see a thing. This place is insane in the evenings between all of the gymnasts and their parents. I was excited they were practicing up front and I was able to watch a few things before taking big sister across town to dance. I snapped the above video and it turned out beyond adorable with all the girls giggling. I'm so proud of Kenzie and how well she's doing with all of her activities at such a young age.
Happy Birthday to our sweet little Emma who turned 11 years young today. Emma has had a rough couple months but seems to be back to herself and doing very well! It was so nice outside that we were even able to take her for a birthday walk! She was very excited and loved using her wooly mammoth coat for the weather. 31 degrees in January?! We'll take that!
We spoiled the princess with a cup of whipped cream and even sang her Happy Birthday...
Emma had endless birthday snuggles...even Bella joined in. I can't believe this sweet little pup is 11 years old! She is SO loved!
Happy 2016 from our family to yours! 2015 was a busy, fun year for our family and we can not wait to see what the next year will bring. Each year seems to be going by quicker than the last so Ryan and I are trying very hard to be present in our daily lives! I explained what New Years Resolutions were to the kids and they each had one: Landon-to whine less -Kadence-to stop talking back -Kenzie-to not cry at gymnastics and dance. I was pretty proud of their grown up responses! :)
We decided to kick the New Year off in the pool! We had a relaxing day and were able to spend most of the day with Ryan, too! May God bless you all in 2016!
