Happy 9th Birthday, Xavier!

Happy Birthday, Xavier!  I am continually in awe at the amazing young man you are growing into.  I love how hard working, organized, and determined you are in your school work. I know you are often given opportunity for frustration and difficulty because of your dyslexia, but you always choose to press forward and work through your challenges so you can be your best self.  I love how you want to choose the right every day and think deep thoughts on living a good life, looking ever forward to your future and the joys of a family of your own one day.  I love your goofy sense of humor and your perfect laugh.  I love your hugs and your brilliant smiles.  I love your million questions about everything so that you can be an expert on all of it.  I love to watch you grow and press forward as you grow into the fine, young man God has sent you here to become.  Thank you for being such an awesome son!  I feel blessed every day that you are my son for eternity (especially when I go through your spotless backpack at the end of a busy day).  ;)  I love you, Xavier!

For Xavier's birthday celebration he got to take a friend to Altitude Trampoline Park for the evening.  We had a blast jumping on millions of trampolines, taking turns on the trapeze, knocking each other off the balance beam, doing trick jumps off the walls and into foam pits, and just generally tiring ourselves out with all of that bouncing around.  :)  Happy Birthday, Xavier!

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
