A Real Boy

Ira's feelings on Santa.



Ira has been a busy kid since we got back from Samoa. He is excited to have a new sister, but more exciting is that I can really see his imagination kicking in and starting to grow. After spending 2 days away from him while in the hospital holding a new born, i thought that he was HUGE when I saw him again. There is no question that he is getting cuter with age! the things he does and says are priceless.
 









SUPER IRA




He kept wearing my nursing cover around the house, So I found an old pillow case and made him a cape.
He loves running around the house in it. He calls himself Super Ira, and i'm Super Mama, and Shawn Super Daddy and of course Arvella is Super Velda! 









First time is snowed. Didn't stick too much or stay around long. Huge snowflakes! He was mesmerized




Second time it snowed over night. 3-4 inches! Ira looked out the window and exclaimed "SNOWMAN!". So Arvella was nice enough to take a long morning nap so we could go out and build a snowman.
After we put him together (snow is very heavy!) Ira looked at me and said "Hat!" so I decided he would be a farmer, since spring and our garden are just around the corner!


I let a friend borrow my snowboarding gear, when they brought it back Ira had to check it out.



This hasn't happened ofter, but is so cute when it does. We had been to a baptism that morning and I found him like this when I came in to check on how he was doing with lunch. He loves quesadillas..both eating and singing about them.







Learning how to use chopsticks 



His friend Backpack,
 he goes to church every Sunday with Ira.



One of my favorite Ira moments yet....Before church I added a few dishes to the dishwasher and opened the cupboard to find this little surprise. It still makes me smile!



I have so many stories, and now that I have figured out life with two kids I should be posting more often. Just wanted to get these few things up.
