Ellie and her friend Micha at her class valentines day party, I got to help host. They are such a cute class!

They ate a plate full of cookies and snacks then they did all of these silly songs and dances they know, this is where I was introduced to the song a "tooty ta a tooty tata" I don't think a day goes by that we don't sing this totally crazy song I sing it Ellie does the dance, Ethan cracks up and Eli begs us to stop. It is one of the highlights of my day!

Baby Chloe finally joined our family, Ellie was very excited about her, there will be another girl around!

Valentines Day

Ellie and Daddy went to their first Father Daughter Dance! As you can she see was Very excited. She started the day off with an ear infection and by the end of the day she was ready to go dancing, When she got back she said dancing is easy just watch what everyone else is doing and then do that.


Granny sent them a cookie bouquet and Pops and Nana sent them a card they were all so excited!

Of coarse cookies are Eli's favorite thing ever!

O he is just too cute for words!

It took us a while to get into the cookies, however 3 seconds was to long!

Wow where to start this has been a crazy two months we have been pretty busy sice Valentines day! So we will start there.

Only in Oklahoma! Last week it was Ice and snow everywhere, then this Sat. it was mid 7o. It was great we were so excited we didn't know what to do so at the last min we decided to take the kids for a hike. I didn't think they would make it very long so I didn't bring Ethan's hiking pack all I had was the sling. And to my surprise Elle and Eli did great they hiked a good hour and for their little legs that's amazing. They didn't complain one time and Sunday after church they were ready to go again! I am soo ready for Summer Now!

Baby Chloe

Baby Chloe entered our family Jan 29th weighing 6lbs 11oz, 20 inches long.

During the ice storm he had lots of inside time. I some how talked them into helping me clean! They were great help and I can't wait for them to start chores!!(hahahhaha evil laugh)
There was lots of play time, steam rolling, and daddy attacks!

Playing outside!

Okay this hat is his fav and definitely a grandma grabber, every grandma within a ten mile radius tells him how much they loooove his hat. Now imagine it with his green rain boots. That is his everyday wear.

Please mommy.... you said we could go outside!

Ice storm

Warming up by the fire, they played outside until they were red and could'nt play anymore!
Playing in the snow, this is th first real snow/ice they can remember playing in.

Getting ready to play outside.

Every morning Nick takes Ellie to school and Eli stands at the door watching like this. Unless daddy forgets to hug and kiss him bye(even though he comes right back!) then he will stand at the door crying "daddy didn't kiss meeeeee". Eli is lost when Ellie goes to school he follows me around instead of her.

And this Ellie comming home she alwasy comes home in a bad mood but she loves school and Eli is soo happy for her to be home, they usually argue for the first ten minutes she is back and then they are best friends again.

At home in Jan.

Ethan is sitting up a little and he loves Eli's monkey!

Unlce Matt has been grounded and we love when he is grounded he has more time to come and play with us!

Ethan spotted his toes! However Hwhen he sits in the bumbo he gets stuck , it is so funny. He is getting to big to fast!

Grammy spent a week with us and Ethan loved it he was held the entire time! I enjoyed the following week because he wanted to be held all time. On the other hand nothing got done!
