More Fun in the Snow

By this afternoon, the snow was just about melted away. All that is left are the snowmen in the yard. We got outside for one last play this morning. Goodbye snow, we will miss you.

Another Snow Day!!

Today has been the snowiest day ever in North Texas history. Just one more snow record we have set this year. The snow was wet and heavy so it was great for making snowballs & snowmen. It was fun to see all the families in our neighborhood out enjoying the wintry weather.

Not to be outdone by the other houses in our neighborhood, we had to build an entire family out of snow.

Darren's workout lifting the snowballs. He looks like he is doing the atlas stone lifting contest in the World's Strongest Man competition.

The Rest of January

OK, I am trying to catch up so here is everything else exciting that happened in January...

The family went to another Stars game. The kids are such good fans. Aidan is pointing out the players to Kiersten during warm-ups. Aidan's sign
Obviously there is something more exciting going on than looking at the camera.

Cutest fan ever in her leg warmers, excuse the drool Kiersten couldn't stop watching the game to eat. Kiersten had her first illness. She got to do breathing treatments for about a week. Thankfully, she didn't mind them and eventually found them so relaxing she could fall asleep.

Darren & Aidan had boys night at the Allen American's game We enjoyed cheering on the Vikings. We were sorry to see them lose but at least they had a good playoff run.

It has been so rainy lately, I have had to find plenty to keep Aidan busy. He really likes building models. This is a bulldozer.

Lastly, here is Aidan entertaining us with a puppet show using his hands and feet.

Water Babies

Kiersten went swimming for the first time this weekend. She looked so adorable in her swimsuit. She seemed to enjoy it. Aidan loves it too. Better to splash around in the pool instead of soaking the bathroom from swimming in the bathtub.

Happy 1/3 Birthday!

I can't believe baby girl is already four months old. I finally remembered to take pictures of her on her actual month birthdate (which has not happened since month 1) even though she was already in her jammies ready for bed. Poor second child. She has really turned into a happy baby. She still is not a good sleeper yet but we are getting closer. At her doctor's check-up she was just over 13 pounds and 23.5 inches long. She is our little peanut.

Kiersten and I played hair salon the other night while the boys were busy. I think I am going to need some lessons when we get a little more hair to work with but she cooperates with me and enjoys the attention. Here are her beauty shots...

And here is how she wakes up in the morning. That is one bad case of 'bed head'.

She also tried rice cereal for the first time. She was not a fan but who could balme her?

Kiersten's First Day of School

Look at this big girl on her very first day of school. I went back to teaching at the preschool today, so Kiersten now gets to come along. She is in a newborn class with 4 other babies and she seemed to have a great day. Her schedule said they worked on shapes and colors and had chapel & music time. I peeked in on her during the day and she was happily playing on the floor.

Happy 2010!!

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!!

Here are our party animals at the stroke of 8:00pm. We celebrated a bit early this year at our house with some good friends. Aidan made both his & Kiersten's hat.
