Fun with Grandma & Grandpa

If only Grandpa could come to every game to get Hudson to sit still.

Grandpa, Grandma, Alivia & Ella after the game

The kids always love to see their Grandma & Grandpa. Ella was really excited that they got to see her cheer. Since John works Saturday's I am usually trying to keep Hudson in one area, watch Ella cheer and keep Alivia happy. So I was really excited that Grandpa actually got Hudson to sit still.

Happy Valentine's Day 2011!

Ella saw a picture in one of my magazines for this Valentine's boat called the Love Boat. So she really wanted to make it.

Trying to get a picture of the two of them and the Love Boat. I asked them if they could give each other a hug and this is what I got.

Our handsome little Valentine

We had a great Valentine's day as a family. Ella went to school and had a great party. Then when John got home we had a nice dinner and watched a family movie. Ella & Hudson decorated the table with a whole lot of hearts all over the table and I love you napkins. The kids and I had even made individual heart shaped cakes for dessert but we were all too full to eat them.

Winter Playdate Fun

Jump, JUMP!

She loves to jump and spin.
So cute but look at that ornery smile.

Blizzard 2011

Start of the blizzard

Our driveway that John shoveled by himself. Which we had a snow blower. Next year we might have to invest in one.

Well we have had a lot of snow this year. With a lot, a lot of snow days. But the kids have been having a blast.

Alivia at 4 Months

Her brother and sister feeding her.

Well now that she is almost 5 months here is an update on Alivia at 4 months. She is such a little cutie and loves to smile, sing and talk. Her sleeping is still a work in progress. One day she will sleep through the night. We tried cereal for the first time. Her brother and sister fed her but she didn't really like it. She is weighing in at a 14 lbs 7 oz and measures 24.5". She is turning into a Momma's girl and is getting just a little spoiled. Her big brother and big sister absolutely love her and she loves to play with them and listen to them talk. She also loves to sit on her Daddy's lap and watch sports with him and she loves to cuddle.

Snow FUN!

Look at that sweet little face showing me her snowball. Then after I took this picture she thought it would be funny to throw it at me.

Hudson showing me how big he made his snowball (and No he didn't throw this at me).
Ella decided it would be fun to have a snowball fight. Here Hudson had just been hit in the face by Ella's snowball, but he didn't really seem to mind.

Because he got her back with an even bigger snowball.

Making Snow Angels

Hudson tried making Snow Angels but then he couldn't get back up.

They both loved sliding down the slide into the pile of snow.

Well the kids have been looking forward to having some snow to play in and we now have plenty. Ella has been out of school for the last three days so she has had plenty of playtime. It also helps that one of her best friends lives only two houses away.
