Four Months Old

 Our Cabbage Patch Kid

Praying Mason will give her some peaceful rest.

 Madelyn loves tummy time

 She really likes whatever Mason is playing with.

 Not to be outdone Mason has taken to climbing things

Probably enough for now, we are tired.

Christmas 2013 Trip to Crystal Mountain

Our Armstrong family, the Kraft cousins, and the grandparent Kendricks stayed in a Crystal

Mountain condo for four days at Christmas. 

Grandma Carol sewed ninja pajamas for the four boy cousins based on the Lego Ninjago characters that they really like.

The boys opening their Christmas ninja pajamas.

 Practicing their karate moves.

 Whenever they were inside they played in their new uniforms.

We ate big breakfasts!

 Mason was the Red Ninja whose power is fire. Here he lights the fireplace (with a little secret help

from dad).

The whole outfit included a hood and nun chucks

Mason took ski lessons (above) and learned how to do a "pizza" or wedge. After help

from grandma, he could navigate the easiest hill.

 Madelyn was adorable on the trip and really enjoyed having the four boys around for

entertainment. Here she poses with Hudson.

 Caleb just loves her and was always checking on her.

Grandma took Mason outside to build a snowman. Somehow he still found mud. Look

at his hands...........
