Happy Birthday Thatcher! It is hard to believe that our sweet boy is already 2! Where does time go? He is getting so big and learning new things everyday. We love the sweet spirit he brings to our home. 

Thatcher got his very own fishy for his birthday- a red beta fish named Elmo 


Birthday morning- he went right past the presents to the balloons! 

We had an Elmo Birthday party during Superbowl halftime at Great Grandma Beals house
For our "Birthday Outing" we went to the new Aquarium in Boise. We fed the rays and baby sharks


Thatcher holding the Pansy he and Grammy picked out.


Our DIY Headboard project- a great way to stay warm inside :) I saw a headboard in the IKEA catalog that I loved and thought it would be perfect for our room. So I drew up some plans, let Home Depot do the big cuts and put it together. 


Thatcher wanted to help paint- so he got a bowl of water, his own brush and the scrap plywood. He was a happy camper to be "helping"

Tah-dah! It is perfect and now no more random beside tables. The little shelves are just right and out of sight!


The end of the month we headed to Eastern Idaho to stay in Victor and enjoy some time in the snow! 



We loaded up the car and drove over the snowy pass to Jackson, WY we took a sleigh ride on the Elk Refuge there to see the massive herd that had gathered for the winter. The little boys loved watching the elk and horses.

Thatcher and Uncle Justin watching videos. Thatcher loves that "Uncle Just" has been staying with us. 


Stampede Basketball! Thatcher LOVED watching the game! He was pretty attentive the whole time! 


One of our favorite Nurseries had a "pop up park" in their greenhouse. It was nice to go play in the grass and it was pretty warm in there. 


Bronco Basketball! This kid loves basketball games! He held his own sign the whole time.
