SNOW....... FINALLY!!!!!

Ok so it's actually ICE mixed with snow, but hey we will take what we can get! The snow hasn't fallen like this since our very first year of being married. That is like 6 years! After a really really LOOOOOONG day indoors we had to get outside even for a few minutes as soon as Matt got home from work!

LASIK

Matt got Lasik surgery today!! He was totally excited and also a bit nervous but all went well. He has to wear these funny goggles all day and night the first day and then for five nights after to bed only. He will have about 90% of his vision by tomorrow morning and the other 10% after several weeks. His eyes are a little red in some areas but the stinging and tears have subsided. This is truly a blessing for him considering he use to be legally blind without corrective lenses or eye glasses. It will be really fun to see him enjoy this new outlook on life!

Aliens have attacked me!!!

So it was really cold out last week and the boys wanted to ride their bikes. So I decided that if we were going out we would have to totally bundle up. Well their stocking caps wouldn't fit under their helmets. Sooooo I put them over their helmets. I did Matthews first and after I put it on I looked at him and just laughed and laughed. I then tried to do Kenny's and he pushed me away and said "I don't want you to laugh at me." I told him if he didn't wear his stocking cap over his helmet he couldn't ride his bike. He agreed, let me place it over his helmet and then I looked at him and laughed even harder. These are the moments that make it ALL worth it!!

That Belle!!

So I have been in a state of shock for a few days....Belle has decided she LOVES to climb. I'm a bit surprised because the boys NEVER did this! On Sunday morning while Matt and I were getting ready for church I came out of our bedroom to find Belle on top of the kitchen table in her Sunday dress covered in that mornings breakfast. Which consisted of oatmeal, cheerios, chocolate milk and something with syrup. I asked Kenny and Matthew how Belle got on the table and they both told me "she did it". I couldn't help but giggle, but I'm not laughing anymore.....she keeps climbing non-stop! This picture is her on our little craft table (gma's and gpa's) trying to get to the playdough!! I guess I will have to start stacking the chairs ON the table!

Happy New Year!

We had fun bringing in the New Year with the best of friends! 8 adults, 16 children and a ton of food!

Christmas was so fun this year! Both boys got bicycles and Superhero capes and really enjoyed waking up to the presents everywhere! We were so glad they were feeling better. The day before Christmas Eve they were both on the couch and couldn't keep a thing down all day. Belle was such a sweetie Christmas morning and enjoyed the wrapping paper! We made sugar cookies and had lots of fun just being together!
