This sweet tiny little handprint made me smile. A sticky reminder of the small ones leaving their imprint all over the house and my heart. Busy and crazy and wonderful all in a rollercoaster every day.
Flare loves to come out of her cage and explore.
Checking each other out
Boo the crested gecko
Monday and Tuesday were holidays but also feeling arctic- in the 20s. So we went one day to a bounce house with the cousins and some friends.
They didn't stop moving the entire time it was wonderful!!
This one reminded me of the Chinese game show Wipeout. Diana would jump from ball to ball.
And by the time she got to the last one she'd fling herself headfirst, only making it some of the time and providing plenty of entertainment for the parents as she ricocheted off the rest of the time.
I finally went to the baby doc. 16 weeks along and this little one is doing great and already letting me feel those kicks and squirms. We have another ultrasound in three weeks and should find out gender then.
One time I got Flare out she decided to peek in on Sunny and was trying to nose her way in. I guess Sunny looked like a good snack?
The kids went to school Wed and Thurs and then a big ice/snow storm came. We had mostly freezing rain and sleet all day long, with a little snow at the beginning and end of it all. The result was horrible road conditions and power outages. We are lucky to live in a great location that since the neighborhood was built 17 years ago only lost power once during an ice storm and only for a few hours. This storm we had no problem and enjoyed sledding down our steep driveway and playing with neighbors.
The best sled we have is a kids snowboard I got for less than ten bucks on clearance at target a few years ago. The other sleds always tear up but the plastic snowboard is always the neighborhood favorite.
Because it was so slippery, Katy got to enjoy the weather inside with me. Hopefully we will get some plain old snow sometime so she can go out and enjoy it.
After two snow days that were just days after the two cold holidays, I decided to bust out the Dead Sea Mineral Anti-Stress mask that Jim got me for Christmas. I am not sure if it worked, but it scared the kids away so maybe it kind of did work :)
Church was cancelled Sunday because of all the black ice (we never got above freezing yesterday). I was slightly terrified of the endless hours and came up with a battle plan. We are halfway through the day and so far so good.
Charades was absolutely hilarious. Diana wanted to be a lion in every one. The kids loved this game!
Singing at the beginning of our family sacrament meeting.
The kids always ask for Christmas hymns. Angels we have heard on high is the running favorite.
Primary singing time.
Nursery with Katy.
She loved all of the attention!
We sang as many nursery songs as we could think of and then topped it off with playing Pie Face. I got some hilarious video and the kids loved it.
Katy watched for the first time. I put a little dot of whipped cream for her to eat and she looked at it like it was going to jump up and hit her face. She seriously was terrified of the little piece of whipped cream! We quickly rescued her from "danger" :) I am grateful for our safety and peace during this big storm and although it can get a little crazy with all this home time, it is a blessing to be with our family safe and happy.
