A REAL SNOW STORM

We finally got what I would call a snow storm and we were so excited. Of course everything shut down for a few days so John was home one day and helped to build a snow fort.
My little Angels!




Fun stuff! It was worth actually getting bundled up to play in and it covered the grass completely so the kids were thrilled. Unfortunately the hut hasn't melted so we get to go out and play in it everyday!

I love these guys!

Makelle and I had a date and we bought her some fake nails at the dollar store. We glued them on and she was amazed. To say she loved them would be an understatement.Makelle was so proud to have tickle back fingers and we all loved them too!

She walked around with her hands like this most of the day, oh she is cute!
We had a duck find its way to our garage and then to our back porch. The kids loved it and tried to feed it things through the glass!
My early risers are so happy!
This little guy got a hold of one of the markers and decided to eat the whole tip! It sure looks like it must have been good.
These two don't love each other at all!
Lantz has learned to do tricks and he loves it. It is super cute! We say Lantz do tricks on your head and this is what he comes up with.
What a cutie!
We got to go to a Valentine party and the kids got some in the mail from cousins so they were enjoying their treats!
Makelle in her pink shirt for Valentines!
She is all into outfits so she loves to have her picture taken.

They love to get Daddy!
I love this kid and how he stares out the window and wonders about the world.
Two sillies and their tricks!
Happy Valentines Day!
Zak trying to lift Lantz on the couch but giving him a melvin instead!
These kids have so much fun together these days I just love it!
I thought there must have been a really good piece of candy under there and Lantz just couldn't get it so Zak was going to help. It turned out to just be a battery, poor Lantz was so disappointed.

Lantz Year in Review

My Baby is 1!!

I can't believe Lantz is ONE!! This year has flown by and it is crazy to think this little guy is one. It makes me sad and happy all at the same time. Everyone says it, but they do grow up too fast. David and Valynn came for a visit during his birthday so we had a great time. His birthday wasn't anything big, it actually got pushed into twenty minutes and it was done. Oh well he didn't know any different and I'll do better next time. He loved his gifts and played with his cupcake a little and then it was time for bed.

I don't know if Lantz is more excited about the pop up toy or if I am. I guess I had forgotten I had gotten such a great gift for him!
I think this toy won but that is ok because it was from the all of his favorites (us)!
Zak and Makelle were extra good helpers when it came to opening his presents.
Messy but not tooo messy!
Happy Birthday Lantz Pants!! Oh how we love you!!


We had a great visit with David and Valynn but I didn't capture any of it. I had vacation while they were here and that included no pictures! I got to stay in bed and do my own thing in the mornings, exercise, and shower all before noon. It was a great vacation! We were all very excited to have them visit. Lantz didn't even need time to warm up to them so that really made their day. In fact Lantz and David were best buds the whole time! We got to eat out lots with them so that was great. I am not sure if they don't like my cooking or if they were really trying to be nice and not have me cook, but either way it worked out good for me.

Fun time with the crazies!

We get tired of being stuck inside so we decided to bring the outside toys in! It gave us hours of entertainment. Once again it is great to have the big kids doing all the work!
Makelle loves showing off all of her tricks!

Lantz really wanted to show off his tonsils. Can you see them? He does this face all the time and I can't get enough of it. It reminds me of when Zak used to do it all the time!
What a cute silly kid, he loves his glasses!
Here is one more shot of the tonsils if you didn't see the first time!
Cute, Cute, and more Cute!!!!

Best Buds!! (Most of the time)
