playing in the snow

i cant pick up anything with these things
i'm a boy!


wowsers it sure is snowing a lot!! daddy went out to shovel the driveway and we decided to help him out, don't you love jax's snow clothes? our shovel wasn't quite as big as daddy's but we tried to some work.

coloring




isabel decided to trace jaxon's feet. but, he thought it would be more fun to run over the paper and dump out all of the crayons... hmm.

snow day #4

play dough cupcakes
are barbie airplanes for girls?
we're in desperate need of our train table
i want to take pictures
jax lasted for about 10 seconds
mommy keeps having these things called "snow days" that allow jax and i to stay at home! we love getting to stay home but tend to get a little restless being stuck inside. today we watched 2 tinkerbell movies, played with the train, made cakes with play dough, and did some coloring. oh, did i mention that we all stayed in our pj's... all day long!!

gymnastics




mommy decided that needed to start a class too... so, he had his first gymnastics class on saturday! they have different stations that you rotate through and learn all kinds of new tricks. hopefully we'll have some better pictures next week.

baking




on our 2nd day home mommy decided to do a little baking. we made carrot cake cupcakes, valentine's cookies, and mickey cookies in honor of cousin emily. we absolutely love to help mommy bake. ok, so maybe we just love to eat the batter.

eating snow

snow angel
we got buckets and buckets of snow last week and got to stay home with mom THREE extra days, and boy was it fun. of course mommy wasn't really into the idea of playing in the snow especially since it was so cold. so, she got me all dressed in my snow clothes and let me play on the deck while she watched from the kitchen. the snow just kept falling and falling! i laid on the deck and made a snow angel while eating snowflakes... i had a blast. when daddy got home that night jax and i both put on our snow clothes and went out to help him shovel. poor jax, he had to wear my pink snowsuit and pink snow boots. mom didn't take any pictures so there's no evidence!

daddy



we sure do love our daddy... he lets us climb all over him, he gives us pony rides, and even turns into "the creature" who chases us around the house. we were feeling especially lazy and just couldn't resist a rest on daddy.

new years eve




we spent a nice evening at home with mom on nye while daddy was at work. the most exciting part of the evening was the fondue... we had pound cake, pretzels, marshmallows, and bananas for dipping. sadly, we were all sound asleep by 9:30.

Bump City



over our christmas break we were able to visit the new GAGE center for some bump city! actually, i spent some time with my nana and jax got a date with mom... they met jax's friend tate there and they had a blast. well, jax wasn't so sure at first and held on tight to mom. after about 30 minutes he finally let go and started enjoying himself. he jumped on the trampoline, kicked a ball around, played in the house, and ran around. afterwards everyone met for lunch at waldo pizza. waldo pizza is our fave!! they even have a lunch buffett which makes our trips there even better... yummy.
