Update on the kiddos

Kayla:
Here are a few fun things that Kayla is doing right now that I want to always remember...

*When we tell her something she often replies with an innocent, high pitched "OOOHHH!"

*She says "okay" in the sweetest way.  My favorite is when we repeat her request back to her and she says, "okay" as if she is saying, "well, since you asked."

*After she gets done crying she likes to tell us, "I cying."  She had a pretty nasty cold on a day we were suppose to go to MOPs.  So Papa came and stayed with her wile I went with Joshua and Levi.  She so sad about it.  Later that night when Daniel asked her about Papa coming over to play with her she told him, "I cying. 'Mama'" 

Joshua:
*Joshua continues to love learning and impresses us daily with his vocabulary, creativity, memory, problem solving skills and the way he thinks things through. 

*He has recently gotten into dinosaurs.  He often wakes me up in the mornings by coming into my room roaring like a t-rex which is his favorite dino.

*He is in the very early stages of spelling CVC words. 

* He is really into rough and tumble play these days.  He loves wrestling and playing dinosaurs.  Although I think playing dinosaurs is just another word for wrestling.  Daniel is constantly impressed with his new moves.

And now for some pictures...

Our Valentine's Day Celebration.  I love Valentine's Day (all holidays really) and kids make it that much more fun.  We celebrated all day with decorations, heart shape pancakes, heart shaped pizza for dinner, heart shaped yogurt dots for dessert, eating and dirking with special heart plates and cups. and of course chocolate.

 

We've had some unseasonably warm weather this month.  We always do our very best to take advantage of it because you never know when the snow will come.

 Since both kids are so fascinated by bridges we went and played on one that is close by our house.

 

 

Watching the cars go under.

 

Running to the other side to see the come come out.

 

  

Here is that snow I was talking about.

 

                                             

                             

And when that snow comes we get creative around

here in order to burn off some energy.

 

Taste testing our homemade peanut butter.

                                                     

Kayla has officially entered toddlerhood.  She wants to do everything herself.  She tells us, "ME!"  She spends a very long time in the mornings trying to get herself dressed and refuses any sort of help.  Once I put her in the stroller and she promptly got right out just to turn right back around and climb in HERSELF!

 

Playing "guitar" like his cousins Noah and Giovanni.  

 

And speaking of Noah, he is Joshua shipping him his b-day package. 

He was so proud of his strength.  He asked me to take

a picture so we could show Daddy.

As I was drawing myself a bath I stepped out of the bathroom

 to get something and a sweet little boy snuck in and gave me some toys to play with.

  

We celebrated Omah and Uncle Andrew's b-day at our house with brunch.  

                           

Juice time with Omah. 

Silly Kayla girl, this pack and play is for your dolly.  

Kayla loves anything that can double as a purse.  Here she is at a restaurant with 2 "purses."

I love catching these 2 playing so sweetly together.   

When they wont stay in timeout.  Disclaimer: He wasn't really in timeout. 

We were just goofing around. And by that smile on his

face you can see just how much fun he was having.
