Snow Day

Just like many of you out there, we are snowed in for the day. My friend said it best though when she mentioned that unlike everyone who got off from school and work, stay-at-home moms don't get a snow day! ha!

I took Kaylie to Jeremy's parents yesterday to go sledding. She had a great time! We went out on Mon. night to get her a new sled in case it snowed like they were saying. Needless to say she was very excited to see snow so she could use her sled.






Landon has never seen snow (that he remembers). He has had a cold so I didn't want to take him out for long. I did get him out for a few min. today and he was a little confused at first but then he warmed up to the snow and I think he would have played in it if I would have let him. He didn't have boots so he couldn't get too close.



The reason Landon is wearing pink gloves is because he lost his and I didn't want his hands freezing so he had to wear his sister's old gloves. Sorry buddy!



Since we could not drive anywhere today, Kaylie and I went ahead and made our Valentine's cut out cookies so we can freeze them and have them ready in a couple weeks. She loves to help mommy bake.


Believe it or not I did not pose this picture. Kaylie loves to walk around with her arms around Landon. She is really into playing with Landon these days.


Can you tell which ones Kaylie decorated? Yes, she loves sprinkles.



So the snow is pretty for awhile, but I am more ready than ever for spring and warm weather so we can get back outside for longer periods of time!

Update

Hello, nothing major to report here just trying to stay warm! I am not liking this cold weather. We try to get out at least once a day to have a play date, go to gymnastics, go to the library, etc. but this weather makes it no fun to bundle up and go anywhere.

The kids are doing well. Landon continues to grow and change every day. I am amazed at how much he has changed in the last few weeks. He is talking so much more and comprehends so much. He is pretty much down to one nap a day and decided on his own that he did not want his night time bottle anymore. No more bottles, my baby is growing up too fast!

Kaylie is still enjoying all of her activities and most importantly her social life with her friends. Here favorite phrase when she wakes up from both bedtime and nap time is, "where are we going to go today." She just said this to me after playing with her friends for almost 3 hours this morning.

Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks...
The kids are having fun trying to playing together. They are doing pretty well. Kaylie really wants Landon to play with her babies, cook, build, draw, etc. with her and sometimes Landon will follow along and other times he would rather do his own thing which is typical of this age. When they do play together it is really cute to watch them interact.


I have not taken a bath time picture in awhile so here it is...


Landon discovered pasta and from the picture you can tell that he loves it. When we get it out he says, "hasta hasta."


Kaylie got new boots for the winter. We have not had a lot of snow and it's been so cold that we have not been out playing in the snow, but she likes to wear them when it's wet outside.

Christmas 2008

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! We had a great Christmas and New Year! We enjoyed spending time with all of our family and catching up with some friends as well.

I had so many pictures I wanted to share so I decided to put them on a slide show. If you click on the "view all images" below you can view all of them. (Thanks to my friend Megan for teaching me how to do this). I promise I won't do it like this often, but because it was a big holiday with a lot of picture I opted for this version this time.

These are pictures from Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with my family and then Christmas night with Jeremy's family.

Before Christmas one of Kaylie's good friends came over and they painted aprons together. The kids had a lot of fun and they turned out really cute.

I hope everyone is blessed in this new 2009 and all of your hopes and dreams come true and this year brings you much health and happiness.
