Growing Everyday

Beka and Daddy went out Sunday afternoon and made a snowman. Beka was determined that the snowman had to have arms. She even stayed out after Daddy came in to make sure that the snowman was just right.

Jared started out with them but then he came inside where it was warm and played with his robots. He loves playing with them.

Some people down the street has this beautiful snow sculpture in their yard. I just had to have a picture of it.

Beka turned five today. She is now a whole hand. She has been on top of the world all day long. She took cupcakes to school and lollipops. Beka’s teachers are great at making her feel special on her birthday. She received a card and a beanie baby from them.

To celebrate as a family, we went to Chuck E Cheese for lunch.Also, she picked where we ate supper last night. Of course she picked her crab legs place. She has such expensive tastes somedays.

I can’t believe she is already five and going to start kindergarten next year. She is intelligent and kind-hearted. I think the most shocking thing today happened at supper tonight. She informed me that M____ is her boyfriend because he is sweet to her and gives her hugs and kisses. Now I thought that M_____ already had a girlfriend at preschool. Beka told me that he does but that he likes her better so it doesn’t really matter. I am soooo not ready for this yet.

The kids recently got their first pets. Two cute gerbils. Beka named her tawny gerbil Cuddly. Jared named his Batman. They enjoy all their antics. Mom bought an open-top cage so we could play with them without fear of them getting away.

Well, apparently I am not a good gerbil mommy. Cuddly died on Tuesday, January 16 of what I assume was a stroke. We did end up getting a new one and once Whitey holds still long enough to get a picture I will post it.
