Out and About!

Today was a long day!! But a fun day!! After we all woke up we headed to Aunt Jo and Uncle Sean's house to see the family! We haven't seen them since New Year's Eve! We missed them! The girls had a blast playing together and I enjoyed chatting with Jo and Sean. Morgan and Claire made cookies Aunt Jo style and then Morgan ate 1/2 a cookie to Claire's 4.5 cookies... Morgan is the delicate eater for everything! Morgan especially liked the fact that Claire had princess dresses... above is a 'sad' smile as I had just made her change back into her clothes before this picture was taken... not a happy camper!

We left their house and went to a place called Monkey Joe's. It is a moon bounce palace. Jocelyn had her birthday party there. It was a zoo!! Literally!! I thought it would just be our party, but it was actually five or six parties plus any body would walk in! It was very crowded and very germy... guarantee we will all be sick with something in a few days! I think RJ had more fun than Morgan. Morgan had a good time but she stayed on the smaller moon bounces... RJ wanted to go for the big kid bounces, and was bounced on a few times, laughing the whole time! When it was pizza/cake time we went into a party room and Monkey Joe made an appearance for the birthday girl. Let me back up, before he entered the room RJ was squirming so much I gave up and let him down... straight to the triple chocolate cake he went , sorry birthday girl!! I felt so bad... her birthday cake had a RJ hand print in it. Then Monkey Joe came in and all I heard was Morgan wailing over the group of kids cheering... poor Morgan, she was scared to death of this mascot! RJ on the other hand followed him out of the room and grabbed his leg. When Monkey Joe looked down at him RJ started waving at him. Two opposite personalities!!! By the end of the two hour party I was exhausted! Chasing after RJ, trying to keep an eye on Morgan and keeping my cool in the 85 degree room... I will not go there again until RJ is at least 4 unless I have a second pair of hands! My goodness, I needed a nap!!!

SNOW DAY... again!

Another day off of school... it is nice now (although I am getting more and more swamped with work at school), but I'm thinking about June... we will have to go longer... that will be a bummer!!

RJ's comment about more snow... OH NO!

Morgan decided to help shovel! Double fisted!

Relaxing Together

Not too much to report today. Long day with school then class. On a bright note we got out of class before 7 instead of 9pm! Yea! I got to join MeMom, Pop Pop, and the kids at Red Robin for supper! Boy do I love their freckled lemonades! MMMM! The kids were very well behaved at supper, thank goodness!

Gotta love big slobbery kisses!

How could you resist that face?

More snow to come...

More snow is on it's way! Possibly another snow day tomorrow...

Our snow mounds are beginning to melt,

Bring it on Mother Nature!

New Toy

My new toy... just played with it for a few minutes... Not too good of quality, but it works for $30.oo!

Snaggle Tooth

The bottom Snaggle Tooth is no longer alone!!! RJ's next tooth has broken the surface of the gum and it will only be a matter of time now before it grows and he will have two teeth on the top (for a long time now) and two matching teeth on the bottom! Way to go little man!! That tooth FINALLY cut the gums!!! Yippee!! Hopefully the drooling and the cranky behavior will die down for a little while... at least until the next tooth starts its journey!! ... so that probably gives us what a week before the crazy drooling begins again?

Stair Slider

I don't think I mentioned it before... but for a good month now RJ has been not only an expert stair climber, but a fantastic stair slider! He automatically turns around at the top of the steps and does the belly slide all the way to the bottom. Great job Bubba! One more trick under your belt!

Fat Tuesday!

Enjoy those donuts! Happy Fat Tuesday!

Today was my first day back after a snow week off! I loved my time off, but boy going back to work was rough this morning!

Another donut anyone?

Mountain House

We celebrated Felicity's first birthday at MeMom and Pop Pop's house on Saturday. Happy birthday sweet niece!



After enjoying a big birthday bash we headed up to Dave and Chantal's mountain house. Morgan was excited to see her friends! She played very nicely with Jocelyn and Lydia.

On Sunday morning Daddy went snowmobiling. Chantal, the kids and I stayed home and played. RJ took a short nap. When Daddy came home he brought me a dozen roses (1/2 yellow, and 1/2 peach). What a nice gesture on Valentine's Day! We took the kids outside for a walk. It wasn't that cold until the wind started blowing! Brrr! We went to a place called the Jonas Hotel for our V-day supper. We all enjoyed out meals, and the kids did pretty well. (Side note: two separate ladies came up to me and said how well our kids were behaving during supper). Got home and ate some dessert. Kids went to bed and us adults watched a little bit of the Olympics before we were all ready to crash with full bellies!

Woke up this morning, packed up and it was time to head home. We stopped at a diner for breakfast. We didn't have a relaxed breakfast! The kids were hyper, and fussing, and the food wasn't so good. Make a note to self, do not go back to that Diner again!

We took both kiddos to RJ's swim class. Morgan had a blast. RJ was off and on happy. I think he was lacking sleep and his belly might have been hungry! After swim class we picked up some yummy pizza, and made a big yummy mess at home! I got the kids to bed then prepped for my first day back to school tomorrow. I am soon off to bed!

Snow Clean - up!

Today we went back outside to finish shoveling and snow blowing the sidewalks and driveway. The wind drifts made it a bit ugly out there! Morgan just loves the snow! She can't seem to get enough of playing in it, digging in it, and eating it! She always comes in with rosy cheeks and cold hands! We throw everything in the dryer and a couple hours later she is ready to go at it again!

After RJ woke up from his nap today (p.s. today is the second day in a row Morgan refused to nap and just read books and sang to her animals) Daddy took the kids outside on a sled ride. He struggled a little bit, maybe because the snow was just too deep for a sled, but he tried and the kids held on for dear life!

Daddy loves his snow blower... thanks Granddad for letting us have it!! Men and their toys annoy me a bit, but hey, it was less shoveling for me!

Starting the sled ride...

On the sled and on their way!

Starting to fall...

Really falling off... HELP DADDY!

Daddy, we fell off!
I got RJ, he's ok!!

More snow play!

I LOVE THE SNOW!!!

Strong Morgan!

Happier on dry land...

Wait for me Momma!

The Igloo Daddy made for the kids!
