Snow Throne

This January we have gotten a huge amount of snow fall, which of course, is a dream come true for Marley.  She LOVES playing in the snow.  Her face will bright red from cold and she still wants to continue to play in the snow.  Kevin made her a little snow throne to sit on.

Scary "Wolves"

Grace keeps going on and on about these "wolves" and how scary they are. I have been trying to figure out what she meant.  Then we were looking at these pictures she had taken with my iPhone of the movie "Lion King" while it was playing.  She pointed to the hyenas and said that these "wolves" were scary.  Sometimes I forget how impressionable my kids can be with movies that I think aren't scary at all!

Graffiti Artist

One day, while picking up the kid's playroom (for the umpteenth time!), I noticed some graffiti on our play table...some of which is very incriminating! Although our cute little neighbor girl denies it (probably for fear that I would get mad at her), Ashlyn decided to label her artwork (although some of the other marking could very likely be one of my children).  It made me laugh when I saw it!

For the Love of the Washcloth

Bathing babies are just as adorable as sleeping babies.  Hendrix LOVES bath time! When he sees us get the tub out, he gets really excited!  He loves to splash his little leggies and suck on the washcloth.  He's so adorable!!!

Bath Boy

Hendrix loves the bath and loves to chew on the wash cloth.  He's such a wonderful, fun little baby!

The Trouble with Telescopes

I asked Marley how she received a small cut underneath her right eye.  She said that it was caused by the telescope. Then I realized that she was using this "Dora the Explorer" play telescope to look at things as she was walking around.  Apparently, she ran into something in the midst of walking with the telescope up to her right eye, causing the small cut!  She's such a goofy kid!!

Marley the Builder

We went to Josh and Maren Larsen's house for dinner.  Marley decided she would dress-up Mack's construction outfit.  I'm surprised she put on the goggles because she can be so particular on how things fit.

These Boots Are Made for Walkin'

We were having dinner over at the Larsen's house and Grace managed to dig up these cowboy boots of Mack's and put them on.  There's a 50/50 chance of putting them on correctly, and it seems like she almost always puts them on wrong!

Cowboy Boots

Our friends, Josh and Maren were nice enough to invite us over to their house for some delicious chinese food and fabulous company.  Grace makes me laugh because she came upstairs to show us the cowboy boots she found and put on.  She had a 50/50 chance of putting them on the correct feet, but didn't quite do that!!

So Cute!

My friend Susan Oddou sent these adorable pictures of her son, Luc.  He's one of the cutest little boys that I know!!!

Let's [eat] Salsa

I was eating salsa (which was kind of spicy) with my eggs and Grace decided she wanted salsa as well...but only the salsa.  She's such a goof-ball kid!

I Hope that's Chocolat!

I held a baby shower for my neighbor, Holly, and I used my mother-in-law, Ruth's, chocolate fountain. Kevin started cleaning it for me and then he thought that he would be really funny...

Sit Ups

Even though Hendrix can't quite sit up yet, it doesn't stop him from trying.  When he is laying down, he is constantly lifting up his head!

Sick in a Sweat Suit

Kevin isn't normally one to get sick but since Marley is in preschool (and drags home all sorts of fun germs) and the flu is horribly rampant this year, Kevin ended up sick! He spent several days living in this sweat suit of misery!  Being sick is so horrible! Especially when you have little kids to care for!!!

Singed

Our lovely friends, the Coopers, who live in San Antonio, TX sent us BBQ for Christmas.  It was from a place that we ate with them while we went to visit the Coopers in Texas.  So we invited some friends over to enjoy the delicious brisket with us.  Kevin had to warm the brisket up on the BBQ grill...but he got a little more than he bargained for.  He went to check on the brisket that was on the grill and a rather large flame came up and licked Kevin in the face!  Kevin's hair got singed!  It even got one of his eyebrows and some eyelashes!!!

Quite the Outfit

When Marley picks out her outfits, you never know what combo will come of it.  Today she picked a polka-dot tunic, a floral top, grey stripped leggings and pink socks...pretty interesting!

Color Me Mine

Instead of giving our kids Christmas presents, Aunt Alece took each of the girls on a little outing.  Alece took Marley to Color Me Mine where she was able to do some ceramics and paint a Hello Kitty jewelry box. Of course Marley was thrilled, as she loves anything creative and crafty!

Tummy Time

I try really hard to give Hendrix tummy time, but like when Marley and Grace were babies, he really doesn't like it.
