Happy 6th Birthday Riley Shaw Huber!

It is amazing how fast the years go past! My sweet little dark-eyed baby boy is now a full-fledged 6 year old boy! I love so much about this little fellow - his staunch determination, his love of animals, his gentle heart, his wild humor, his enthusiasm for all things outdoors, his love and sports, and that he will still snuggle up with me on the couch. Riley you are so loved and all that you are make you one special guy!

Riley asked for a Jayhawk theme this year - here's the brownie cupcakes for his school celebration with his classmates and the cake for his home celebration with the family.

Getting ready to open presents. Riley was sweet and allowed little brother to help open a few. Can you feel the excitement?

The big present -  a new bike! Just as cool as dads = )

Gage got a new helmet - the top looks like a shark - this view shows the killer teeth!

Mom had to get in on the helmet fun - I need one like this = )

Me and the birthday boy enjoying some giggles

Say cheeeeeeeeeese!

Make a wish!

(Gage captured this shot by the way - good timing little buddy!)

So, what are two ornery boys to do with new bike helmets?

Play "bull crash" is apparently the right answer. These silly boys had a ball for almost 30 minutes straight rushing into each other and crashing their protected skulls. Silly boys!

We rounded out the weekend with a trip the movie theatre to watch The Lorax which was awesome! I'm not typically a is Seuss fan, but that show was great and had a super message. The boys really enjoyed it, too = ) All in all, it was a great weekend and celebration of one super fabulous big boy!

Fly-by February!

Wowzers. So February came and went in what literally felt was the blink of an eye! I am a little sad as I know we had a ton of fun and I don't have the words or pictures to document most of it becaus we apparently too busy to even take pictures! Anyhow, to prove we were present and accounted for here are a few of the pics we managed to snap = )

Gage had a "crazy hair day" at his school. We called this his "jayhawk hair" -  a little blue and little red - he LOVED it and wants to wear it this way every day now =)

Riley has been quite the animal lover and helper this month. Here he is snugglig up to Katie-girl.

Chillin' with the kitties. They love to snuggle this boy  = )

For Christmas we decorated the boys headboards with multi-colored lights. They also work as great nightlights so we have left them in place. I wish I had a fancy camera with an awesome lens to capture just how fabulous the glow of these lights are and how angelic the boys look while quietly sleeping under them. Unfortunately, this is the best my camera would do without the flash - does not do it justice or even look close to reality = (

Another try with the flash on this time. Still no justice, but the boys are cute nonetheless!

We got our first snow of the season at the end of February - and it wasn't much more than an inch - but the boys were stoked and had a ball goofing around in it!

Mmmmm, the delish chocolate wine and sweet red rose I got from the hubby for Valentines.

Loved the gifts and love that guy!

Fun visit from my sis. We were ping pong queens!

The silly beer drinking glasses came out during Tracy's visit. Interesting to say the least!

The Harley

So, after years of sacrificing more fun "guy" stuff than any of us could count, Corey finally got something for just him. A Harley. And, not just any Harley, his beloved Harley Street Bob. He is one happy fella to say the least - check out that smile! He's also the coolest dad ever if you ask his kiddos = )

Here it is in all it's black cherry metallic glory! 

 Peace.

 Future Harley rider? I see ape hangers in his future!

 Pretend cruising

 Riley cheesing it up!
