Alot of Tid-Bits

Wow! This took me forever to upload all these pics. I haven't posted in a while and there's a bunch of random stuff.

First of all, we all have serious cases of cabin fever. I was almost angry with Kent because he got to go to work the past two days. How long has it been snowing??? 20 some days, AND school was cancelled these past two days. I know, B only goes to P-school for 2 and a half hours, 2 days a week, but still, it is a break!

So what is a crazy mom to do? Well today, we went sledding with some neighbor friends. I didn't take my camera, because I knew I wouldn't be able to handle that and three kids. Luckily, everyone helped out and carried a girl or two up the hill over and over with me! They really are unbelievable friends, even the husbands who didn't know me. Sledding was fun and the best workout I've had in a few months!

When the girls took their nap today Brayden and I worked on his Lava Bugs that Great-Grandma Wagener gave him for X-mas. What a project! It was an ooey gooey mess, and they have to dry overnight, then we get to add more colors tomorrow. Wonderful, thanks so much G-ma! B does love it though.

Shelbi, our baby-sitter who also works at Papa Murphy's brought us FREE pizza and bread sticks! We were all thrilled and devoured most of it pretty quickly! When does Weight Watchers start again???.....maybe tomorrow, or the next day, or the day after that........

YAY! Cousin Keegan turned 4 on X-mas eve! They had his party on Saturday at the YMCA. It was so fun! We had cake and then ALL of us went swimming! I wasn't too thrilled to put on a swimming suit the week after X-mas, but I didn't realize they had a twisty water slide! It was great, I took Ellie down in my lap and she screamed, "WEE" the whole way with a big smile on her face.

Kent came down with Dani next, and she had her serious look on her face, and wasn't sure what to think. As soon as I let her know she was having fun she smiled and laughed. It took Brayden a good 20 minutes to work up the nerve and trust us enough to catch him at the bottom. Then we were hiking up the stairs to the slide constantly after that. Thanks for a great party Keegan!

Cake faces!

No, we aren't officially starting potty training yet, but Dani told me she had to poop and I took her in and she did it! Pretty exciting, then of course Ellie had to have a turn. (Cousin Sandy, I think we do need two toilets in the same bathroom, potty party here we come)!

I don't know why my pics. don't line up how I want them to, but these are the adorable outfits Cousin Sarah got for the girls. I feel like such a hip, chic mom when they wear them. Everyone always comments on them. Thanks Sarah!

On one of the safer snow days, my friend Sara came over with her son, Johhny, and her new twin babies, Molly and Ryan. It was so fun to see her and her kids, and know that I never have to go through that stage again. hehehe. Sara is incredible, and I couldn't believe how calm and together she was, plus she's lost all of her baby weight and looks amazing! (It's been 9 weeks). I know, I really don't know if I can be friends with her. :) I didn't get pics. of the babies, shoot, they were either eating or sleeping most of the time, and when they were awake I was just staring at them and didn't think to take a pic.

The girls got strollers from us. They love them and play with them non-stop. The first night they had them out, they thought it would be fun to push each other in them. It was so cute, I had to take pics. But sure enough the strollers ripped and I ended up sewing them a few days ago. Hopefully they'll hold for at least a few more weeks!
