Loving Family!!

We had a suprise visit from Uncle Tom! We were so excited to see him!
Cayden being sweet after a wrestling match with Uncle Tom:
Cam after pillow fighting with Uncle:
Needless to say, the boys still prefer their animals over anything else, so they were "pulling" him out of the net. They inlisted their Uncle Tom's help to "un-stick" the elephant. What a great day it has been!

Handsome Cowboys!

Our handsome little cowboys! What a blast we had dressing them in their new boots! As big as their boots might seem, they're only one size bigger than their actual shoe size! Growing boys!!

Valentine's Day Weekend

After most of the snow melted, Scott came home from work and took the boys outside for a moment. We're a little hesitant since the boys both have strep throat and all 4 ear infections. Doesn't look like it, does it?? Cayden's wearing blue & Camden's wearing green thanks to the handiwork of Linda's friend Kim.
We usually see a few flurries on Valentine's Day weekend, but this was out of the ordinary. The boys had so much fun! I remember my Dad always being my special Valentine...now I get to be the joyful Mommy of two little Valentines and wife to one incredible husband.

Snow in East TX

Six inches of snow in East Texas. What a breath-taking site!
Sadly, our boys just started antibiotics for all 4 ear infections and strep throat. This is the closest they'll get to snow unless it warms up a bit. They kept saying, "Shoes on! Shoes on! Slide on snow! Papa & Gramm's today!"  Breaks my heart that they miss family so much. But for the smile it brings, here's to SNOW!

Entertainment

Cayden (above) & Camden entertained themselves for a while with Mommy & Daddy's laundry. They are quite the silly boys!
The sky's the limit on entertainment. Whatever keeps them out of major trouble works. I just have to remember my motto: They're not making messes, they're making memories.

BIG BOY BEDS!!!

Yes, the time has come.... our children have been in toddler beds for 2 weeks. They are so proud to tell everyone that they are now in "BIG BOY BEDS!"  Nap-time has been a hard transition as they seem to enjoy their freedom to run around their empty room, but bed-time has been smooth so far. I can't believe how fast time flies. I long for the cribs!

Winter Wonderland at Preschool

Camden bowling with the Penguin Pins
Boys "fishing"
Cayden & Cam cooking and roasting marshmellows over the "fire"
The boys were stacking igloo, then kicking them around. Boys!!
The boys are hanging mittens on the line with clothe pins. It's really great for dexterity!
I think this was may favorite activity! The boys & I were "ice skating" and we had a blast. They chased me around the "rink" and giggled until they were winded. I loved sharing this time with them.
Ms. Teresa's Class: Camden, Cayden, Patton, Bailey, Hadleigh & Reagan.
Here's kuddos to the teachers & their helpers for making preschool a special place for our children. Our boys are ecstatic to be in preschool and love their friends. We appreciate those who have a calling to be in this field. Really....we do!
