Happy Birthday Steve!

We celebrated Steve's 40th b'day the week we arrived in NY. To surprise him, I had his siblings in to visit, which is very special to him! We did some silly games and just hung out. We also went to a fun park where we did rock climbing, bumber boats and the reverse bungee! Steve even outdid everyone and did a forward and backard flip on the bungee. Hopefully he had lots of fun and realized turning 40 isn't the end of the world, or the end of fun either!

Singapore Air Rocks!

Okay, so some of these newer posts are going to be out of order in the sequence of events. But, hey, at lest I am getting them up in a reasonable amount of time.
So, these pictures are of the amazing new plane by Singapore Air. This plane only flies busines class, and let me tell you, it is worth every penny when you are flying that long with children! The service is amazing, the food is identifiable and totally edible, the movies are endless and the seats are huge, and, they lay completely flat! I was even more blessed to have an empty seat nearby, so Cate could have her own when it came time to sleep. Only thing is when you train a child to go to sleep by themselves (or the child is just realy nosey), it's quite difficult to get them to sleep on a busy plane. So, she slept for a grand total of 6 hrs on our 18 hr flight. At least she was pleasant, for the most part. As you can tell, the boys made themselves right at home, and the only time we heard from them is when thier movie was over, and they asked "Can we watch it again?" At which point it's always "YES!"
I love Singapore Air

Snowball Fight!

At one of our favorite playgrounds by gramma Wilson's house there is also an ice rink. The boys love to go there not because of the cool playground, but because they dump the ice right outside into a big heap. This means one thing...SNOWBALL FIGHT!
This was Cate's first experience with snow, and she didn't hesitate a bit. She wanted a piece of the action, it didn't take her long to learn to throw snowballs at the boys. Watch out Cate, they show no mercy!
