December Part 1

Meeting Santa. Gage freaked out. He would only go up if Dave took him

Stickers! One of his new favorite things.

Gage and monkey reading books

Sorry for the bum shot, but this was to funny. Gage couldn't get in to "help" so he climbed up on Dave to see.

Gage was taking his shovel and scooping up snow and throwing it on Sydney.

Ugly sweater christmas party. I made mine with ornaments from the $1 section at target and a DI vest. Dave borrowed one from his mom

Snow Angle

helping dad trying to finish Sydney room for Christmas.

This is just a few. I can't find my cord to down load the pics off my camera. So as soon as I find the cord more will come.

Shumway Christmas Party

Stitches

WARNING NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART

Short story: Gage fell head frist down some stair. Yes both Dave and I were there. No neither one of us actually saw how it happened. He cried for like 3 minutes and then was fine. We took him to the insta care where it took both Dave, me and a nurse to pin Gage down to get the stitches in. When he was getting them out he was so brave and didn't even cry. He still wants to wear a Buzz Lightyear bandaid on it all the time and he checks my forehead to see if I have an owie.

after the nurse came out to put numbing stuff on his head and she was walking back he yelled "THANK YOU!"

Tramatized but ice cream will help

Side note: Gage had a friend over to play and they were running around I hear a thud and Gage comes over and I check his mouth and sure enough he has chipped a tooth. It is fine and it doesn't bother him but I am starting a Gage medical fund.

A year ago

Remember this photo??? Neither could speak English but they understood each other

Now look at them!  I tell Dave that they had to be best friends in the life before and they are so excited to be reunited. Seriously you should see how these two are together.

PS Notic how there hair styles are the same in both photos! :)

Snow Cave & Snowmen

Zoo

This was seriously the coolest part of all of it. It was so awesome to be that close to a polarbear.

Airplanes, Helicopters, Jets

We bought him a little airplane and this is him having it fly

We went up to the Hill Air Force Base Museum to check out all the airplanes, helicopters and jets. It was free but you could make a donation. Dave came up with the idea and I knew they had a museum but I didn't think it was going to be all that great but really it was pretty cool. Gage loved it. He was quiet for an hour and just walked around and looked at everything. He loves airplanes and helicopters. We can be inside the house and he will hear them and run to the window and look for them. He sees them way before we do when we are outside or driving. 

Trick or Treat

Gage loved Halloween, but what kid doesn't. I think he could feel the excitement in the air because he was bouncing off the walls all day. He recieved so much candy. Houses were giving out drinks, full size candy bars, glow stick bracelets, toys! Everyone let Gage just take whatever he wanted because he was little and he figured it out really quick to take a handful. When I was walking around with him he would carry his pumpkin basket and would say "heavy, heavy" as we walked down the street. It was so much fun to go out with him.
