little helpers

We made pizza the other day. I have such good helpers!

They loved it! (And each other!)

18 months

Wow! I can't believe my baby is already 18 months!

He is so much fun!

He is talking a lot...repeats everything you say!

I can't wait for this summer to spend more time with him!

I love you sweet pea!

You have such a loving spirit and we are truly blessed to have you!

wrestling

This happens ALL the time in my house!

Aaron was a wrestler...Eli can't wait to be a wrestler.

Cole...he just joins the fun!

It makes for a crazy, loud time in my house, but I love it!

It's kind of nice to be the queen of my house!

snow day

We had 2 snow days this week.

This NEVER happens!

So, we got to hang out and do whatever we wanted.

Here's a little bit of what we did!

A little bit of reading!

Bubba climbed in too!

A little bit of Spiderman!

A little bit of running around, almost naked!
And a little bit of watching the blizzard outside! Wishing they could play out there! But it was below zero outside!

I loved the time at home with my boys. However, it was starting to get crazy since we couldn't get out at all!! It was a nice break!

love

These 2 have a love/hate relationship!

Cole LOVES Paco.

Paco LOVES that Cole feeds him!

Cole HATES when Paco follows him around when he has food.

I'm pretty sure that Paco HATES it when Cole is all over him! (But he lets him do it!)

And me...it drives me crazy!!

Typical: Paco following Cole around since he has food!

Cole: teasing and Paco watching his every move!

Yep: Can you tell? Cole has dropped some. Paco's on it though!

And, the rest went to Paco. He always seems to win in these situations!

Oh well! Paco does do a nice job of cleaning up after dinner!

teething

I had forgotten what the second year of a child's life can be like!
Eli was not pleasant when he was teething...but Cole, whew!

Let's just say he's made Eli look like a walk in the park!

And for those of you who don't even know your children are teething, I don't want to hear from you! :)

This is just a little bit of what I saw most of the day!

Bless his little heart! At one point he had 6 teeth coming in all at once...4 of them being molars. Now all of them have at least come through, so there must be more! Yipee!

Good thing he's so cute and I love him with all my heart, or I might lose my mind!

too early?

Aaron got Eli a Red Rider BB gun for Christmas.

He'll be 4 in April. I had some hesitations about it!

But, he's been very good at explaining safety to him.

And, it's locked up in our gun safe!

He's only shot it this one time...maybe in a few more years he'll be more interested!

I don't know what was being said, but I love their faces!

Then, Aaron was shooting the BB gun and Eli a water gun!
