Merry Christmas!

Our Big Boy and Little Girl

We are so blessed by them!

Kaitlyn (our fabulous babysitter) got them to both smile! I love it!

Ice Day(s) Fun!

 We didn't leave our house for 3 days but enjoyed all the family time during the cold winter ice storm!

   She didn't mind being bundled up!

 

 She has 2 bottom teeth!

 It was solid ice!

 Cody had fun stomping in it to make foot prints.

  Karis just watched Cody play.

He even brought some ice in for a snow cone!

Ice Day

We stayed in our jammies all day and enjoyed the winter weather! We did venture out a little bit to explore the ice. Cody thought it was funny to see his breath and make snow cones with the ice.

 

    

Making Cookies

 Cody LOVES to bake! We had funny making cookies on this cold icy day.

And we got a really good laugh when he turned on the mixer too high and the flour exploded all over him.

Life is good...

Fixing his truck with his tools...

Karis trick or treating...

Rolling around everywhere these days...

Last bath in her baby seat...

First bath in her big seat...

Helping decorate the tree...

Sleepy boy fell asleep watching the music video for 10,000 reason by Matt Redman...he really likes watching worship videos and listening to music.

Cutest little turkey ever...



Thankful for these two blessings...and that (for now) they adore each other!

She loves her jump-a-roo...

She is happiest in an upright position where she can see everything that's going on.

Happy!!

She's a thumb sucker...although its super cute I have a love/hate relationship with it. 

Saying good-bye to daddy's truck! It's gone forever (the engine died) and lived a great 10 years with us. Cody was very sad but excited for the new truck that will come in May. 

Parks

 Cody LOVES parks and play areas!  They are his happy place and could run and place for hours! He has recently really wanted to swing...a lot! He will swing with one of us pushing him for 30 minutes and just relax and talk about everything he sees.  I love it!

Karis is just big enough to swing now and she enjoyed it too!

Thankful for my family!

Pumpkin Carving

 It's so much fun watching Cody figure things out and make connections with different things.  He wanted to buy a pumpkin and asked Jason to carve it with a spooky face. He had seen jack-o-lanterns and wanted one of his own and figured out how to do it. He is covering his eye because we had told him that it was yucky inside.

Karis was getting sleeping but was very fixed on watching them work on the pumpkin.

He wanted to make his own face on the pumpkin. He also helped me pick out all the seeds and bake them to eat.

I love how she reaches for everything and is always so curious!

Could she get any cuter?
