The Wonderful Outdoors

Believe it or not but it was in the 70's and beautiful today. No one was happier than Momma to get these kids out of the house. They enjoyed it too.

Beautiful little girl.

Jayden playing with his remote control boat that Santa brought him.

Oh, what is this?

Does it taste good?

Tayler took off for Momma and Jayden noticed and started yelling, "No, no Tayler, you will fall in the water!" Then we notice he is dragging him back to the blanket. Tayler didn't seem to mind. He is such a loving and caring big brother.

Tayler watches Daddy and Jayden.

This is Hadley's new smile. Nose all scrunched up. Love it!

Relaxing and enjoying the weather.

We tried to get a picture of all three kids. They weren't very cooperative. Maybe next time.

Another Jayden Day...Monster Jam

It seems that Jayden is getting "Jayden Days" all the time lately. Tonight Momma and Daddy took him to a surprise...Monster Jam.

We don't think we have ever been prouder than when we looked down and noticed that Jayden had put his hand over his heart during the National Anthem with no direction from us. Momma had to take a picture of it and then got told by the three year old, "Momma put your hand on your heart". He is such a great little boy!

First Surgery

We had a first as parents as Tayler had to have surgery today. He had to have a circumcision revision. It was the most scared as parents I think we have been thus far. However, Tayler took it in stride and only cried once and that was when we were dressing him to leave from the hospital. He is such a strong and resilient boy and we have to say definitely the easiest baby ever.

Yes, we let him play with a plastic bag beforehand. He pretty much could have done anything he wanted this morning. If he had asked for a candy bar, we would have given him one. Ha! Ha!

Here are a few pictures from before the surgery.

Happy Valentine's Day

Tayler is getting around more and he is starting to get into more and more. Momma busted him this morning with a pack of wipes.

First Valentine's Day!

Mirror, Mirror!

Tayler also started pulling himself up on stuff this week.

Snow Sliding

We had a ice/snow storm a few days ago so Daddy shoveled the snow off the ice and made two very large fast slides down the hill. We invited Aunt Ashley and cousin Jacob over to share in the fun.

Sliding down.

Aunt Ashley having fun too.

The boys enjoyed some hot chocolate after coming inside.

Changing All the Time

The kids are changing all the time. It is exciting and sad to Momma and Daddy at the same time.

Tayler is officially on the move. Watch out!

Our boys!

Heading to his big brother's room.

Since Tayler is getting around, the gate has become part of our living room.

This is a common scene now. Tayler crawling on Hadley and Hadley grabbing his hair, ear, or whatever she can grab.
