Crazy Haired Colt

Colt's Kindergarten class earned a Crazy Hair Day at school.  We had pretty short notice, so the best I could do was gather the one piece of sidewalk chalk not buried in the snow and rub it and some spiking gel into Colt's hair.  The effect was pretty good, but poor Colt is color blind, so the red color of the chalk didn't stand out to him.  He wouldn't believe anyone could see a difference until everyone in the family had reassured him his hair was colored.  Everyone except Brandan, who is also color blind and was unable to see any difference in Colt's natural "red" and the red chalk.

BYU Football

Ever since Brandan student taught at Highland High School in Pocatello during Taysom Hill's senior year, he was been a big fan of the BYU quarterback.  Though Dash has a tendency to dislike any team Brandan favors (should we worry about his teenage years?), our whole family has become BYU supporters.  So early on in the college football season, right as the talk about Taysom Hill being nominated for Heisman reached its peak, we decided to look over Brand's Middle School football schedule and pick a BYU game we could attend.  We bought our tickets and wrote our plans on the calendar.  That same week Hill broke his leg.  Two weeks later, BYU's star running back blew out his knee.  The game day forecast was dismal, but determined not to be fair weather fans (literally and figuratively), we loaded up and headed to Provo, the car ringing with enthusiastic cheers and chants, mostly coming from Sis who really likes to yell.   

Watching the kick-off.

Despite the freezing temperatures and wind, we lasted until half way through the 4th quarter.  BYU was up by 20 points, but we still had to promise Dash we would detour behind the team on our way out in order to pry him away from the game.

The boys didn't get to see their heroes play in person, but they did enjoy admiring their larger than life mural.

Sissy turns 2!!

I can't believe it has been two years now since Sissy first started filling our sports balls and Hot Wheel world with hair bows and baby dolls.  We all sure love our Little Sister!

Birthday morning hot cocoa.

Sissy got a play kitchen for her birthday!

The boys had to exercise all their patience while waiting for Sis to open her present from Grandma C. 

Dishes!

The boys "indulged" Sissy on her birthday by playing house with her.  

After two end-of-October-birthdays and a Halloween cake walk win, we couldn't stomach another cake.  I decided to do birthday donut cake tower instead.  Luckily, Sissy didn't mind.

Blowing out the candle.

Sissy facts - Sissy loves baby dolls, shoes (preferably someone else's), Tonka trucks, SuperWhy cartoons, stories, pizza, bubble baths, the color pink (even though she consistently calls it blue), and her brothers.
