While Jaden was opening presents we kept Ashton busy with an oreo. He loved it but was a mess to clean up.

To the Trans... Thanks for the bath towel. I use it everytime I take a bath!!

Thanks Aunti Mandi for the pretty dress!

HAPPY 5TH B-DAY JADEN!

Sorry I'm a little late at blogging. Birthday was March 8th.

Make a scrapbook - it's easy!

We have had quite the snow storm come through here. I haven't heard confirmed amounts but they say we got up to 17 inches. The drifts are unbelievable, you can see Larry's pants in the picture below, where his hand is where the drift in our back yard comes on him. He is 6ft 2 so that gives you some idea. Jaden is standing on our front walk and the pile is almost bigger than he is. There was a drift of snow coming off our roof (Larry knocked it down before it fell but it was neat to look out our patio and the snow just hanging there) I have to admit it is beautiful from the inside looking out. Schools were cancelled yesterday and today. Now we are on make up days so that means school is now out June 16th.
Jaden had fun playing outside and I couldn't resist taking a picture. He looked so cute with snowflakes on his nose and eyelashes.

Also a Very Happy Birthday to Grandma Jenny and to our new cousin Cameron Glenn all the Feb 3. Congratulations Katresha and Aden!!

Today was just kind of a blah day--to start with that is. It was so cold outside that we went--nowhere! So we did get some stuff done around the house that has been piling up. I really should have worked on our taxes but...another day.

There is one exciting thing that happened today. Ashton took his first step or maybe I should say steps. We are all very excited. Not to wish my baby big but I am so ready for him to walk.

Mariah is now potty trained. She just decided that she was done with this diaper bit and that was it. (She still wears a diaper at night or when she needs to poop) I just don't get that. I asked my Dr. if he knew of any tricks to get her to go in the toilet. His response "Gentle encouragement, it could take her up to 6 months before she goes in the toilet" Great, so I'll be cleaning out underwear for awhile. Does anybody have any tricks?

Happy Birthday Boys!!! N--Turned 5 and Alec turned 8. We made these snowman cupcakes for birthday treats. I thought they turned out pretty cute. The kids loved them. (eating them of course was the best part)

When it come to the dishwasher, Ashton comes a crawl'n. He can be anywhere in the house and here the dishwasher open. Not much a helper though. I load and he unloads.
