What's been going on in the Siddoway home?????

The end of December:
(I know... December??? Can she really be that behind? I am, it's true! But I couldn't forget about my little buddies birthday!!!)
Poor Coops will always get a birthday mingled with Christmas because his birthday is Dec 27th. Oh well what can you do? In our case we eat cake, that's what you do!
Sam enjoying a little lovin' from her Papa Flannery
Can't forget my safety glasses...
We took him and all the Sidd/Flan family to Arctic Circle to celebrate Coops party. It was so fun and so neat for him to celebrate with family around him! We love family!

Happy 2nd one my little Coops!

January:
A little bit of sledding and forewheeling in the good old Utah snow! Although it was so fun while we visited and the kiddies had a blast, we were definitely looking forward to getting back to the good old Arizona 70's.

I'm not sure if my kids knew exactly what to do.

With a little help from Dad and Grandma Kris they were zooming down the hill in no time!

February:

Although Sam's birthday was in the end of January we extended her birthday into Feb because we were out of town. Thank you family for all of your support towards Sam even though we are so far away! We love you all!

Sam being the princess she is!?!?

Sam had a Princess/Pirate Party last weekend! We had such a blast!!!

There were Princessess...

And Pirates...

We even had our Princess/Pirate Castle!!

And there were plenty of treats and food to enjoy! Right Talia???

We decorated cookie wands, played some Princess games, played on the Pirate castle and had a lot of treats and pizza!

Sam even had a special visitor come to her party! A real live princess showed up at her party and read them pirate stories! How Magical!

Thanks Princess Alli for your enchanting presence at Sam's 4th birthday party!! We love you!

PRESENT DAY:

Ever since the party Sam had my little Coops has been obsessed with Pirates. He takes his hat everywhere (Park, Fry's, Library) and he found a pirate ship! This box has been waiting to go out with the recycling all week and Coop found it and drags it all over the house now shouting "Awww Matey, my boat, my boat! Awww!" With a little finger hook of course! Johnny Depp watch out... I think I found the new cutest pirate around!!!

AND NOW IT IS FINISHED!! I AM CAUGHT UP! HIP HIP HOORAY!!!!
