Learning our new toy!!

So, Clayton got a new camera for Christmas, the Nikon D7000. It is SOO nice! BUT, be warned: Nice cameras still do need a nice photographer! Because I took all of these pictures, you get what you get, no promises guaranteed! Still, I had a lot of fun playing around with my kids! Here are a bunch of crazy random pictures since Christmas.

Kaiden and his latest plane that he built.Hannah's "hi-ya'er".

More of the plane.

Our soon to be gymnast, she is so rediculous when it comes to flexibility.

Not even trying...

Kaiden and Hannah made trains out of a egg carton in pre-school. We filled their "cars" with yummy cargo for lunch.

I straightened Hannah's hair just for fun one Saturday. When she showed Clayton, all he could say is how much different she looks and how she looks just like his sisters! I never would have noticed the resemblance until I did this. She is a little Bodkin all right!

All in all, the last couple months have been fun here. These kids just keep me laughing a lot. I am proud of them in so many ways, and so happy to be their mom.

Happy 3rd Birthday Hannah

Ahh, by baby is 3! I can hardly believe it in some ways, but on the other hand she has sure earned her 3 years to claim-and she totally does! If she even hears te number 2, she will quickly shout out that she isn't 2 anymore and that now she is 3.

Her cake and presents.

She was sooo excited when she saw this present that Kaiden got for her. It is a set of fairy wings that she saw at the store that she really, really wanted. Kaiden wanted them too since he loves to dress up with Hannah.

True admiration.

The wings went on pretty quickly, it's only a matter of time before Kaiden has them on. She was also pretty happy to get the coveted Dora panties.

She also got a "Baby and Me" dress from us and a really cute one that Grandma Bodkin made for her. She loves those too!

This is the Barbie that Megan got for her. Yes, Barbie's at 3...we are soo there!

A girl doll she got from her friends Joey and Lilly.

And a new baby from daddy and mommy.

Ahh, she is already a proud mama.

Yes, he is awesome!!

Ok, so I am sure all of you military wives can feel my pain here. Clayton has been collecting old uniforms for, well I'll be nice and say a while now. He has all along been telling me that he was going to use them and "make" something out of them. My thoughts, "Blah!! Before we move I will throw them away one day and hopefully he won't notice. Seriously, who needs this many old uniforms??" Well, then early in the winter he ended up buying a pack frame and tells me that he isn't going to buy a pack because he doesn't really like them and wants to build his own. What?! Am I supposed to be supportive here? Or do I tell him no because I am really thinking he is crazy because I know he'll never do it! I chose to be supportive, though I didn't believe him at all. One month later, with a whole lot of sewing in the evenings, here he is with his pride and joy! AND, it is all the right dimensions, with all the right pockets and loops and everything else he wanted but couldn't find. AND, to my happiness the uniform pile is all gone! Sooo, with my tail all the way between my legs, I am saying how proud I am AND I'm sorry for doubting his mad skills! He really is good at everything he does. Now if only he could share a little of that gift....
