Fri. Feb. 11th

Yesterday Londyn had a Valentine's Party at school. This is her all ready to go!

Of course Jackson had to get in on the action!

He's not too happy I made him get off the arm of the couch and sit next to his sister.

Later that night he went pee pee on the potty for the 1st time! I was pretty impressed given that he's only 18 months and 1 week old.
This picture is a reinactment of the actual event! He was in the bathroom. He pointed to his diaper and said, "wet." "Elmo." We have a potty seat that has Elmo on it. So I asked him if he wanted to go potty and he raninto the bathroom and found Londyn's old potty. So I sat him on it and sat next to him on the floor for about a minute. Then he started to get wiggly and wanted to stand up, so I thought, "oh well, we gave it a good try." But when he got up I looked in the potty and there was PEE! Yay! Crazy what we get excited about, but I was so afraid he'd be hard to potty train. I'm not sure I'm ready to really potty train him, but atleast we're off to a good start!

Kitchen

So last summer Cody and I painted our kitchen cabinets, added molding and added hardware. I never got around to posting a picture of here so here it is!

For fun

On Monday Londyn got herself dressed and wanted me to take a picture of her.

Love my girlie! She is so much fun!

King Cake

While we were in Louisiana I really wanted a King Cake. I didn't know if they would have them yet, but they did! Mmmm!
I wish I could have brought one home with me!

The kids liked it too!

Family pics

The night before we flew back we decided to take a last minute family picture. We had everyone except my brother's wife Michelle, she lives in Houston and had to work. = ( Not too bad for a very impromptu photo shoot!

Hodge's Gardens

One day while we were down there my dad Cody, my brother Caleb and his wife Nikki went to these gardens in central Louisiana.

Not many flowers this time of year, but still pretty.

Park

On our 2nd day in Louisiana we took advantage of the warmer weather and went to the park.

Park cont.

Jackson loved being outside. It was a nice break from the snow.

I love how his hair got a little curl to it from the humidity.

Christmas Morning

SaNta CaMe!!

Jackson FAVORITE toy is his toy Dyson. He Loooves vacuums.

He also got some tools that he thinks are preety cool.

Londyn got a new baby doll and a crib and high chair for her. She also loves her new Rapunzel doll and her new books.

After dinner...

...Jackson decided he didn't need to keep his pajama pants on.

Daddy thought otherwise!

After the gift exchange game Londyn and Charlie played with some of their new toys.

Christmas eve dinner

On Christmas Eve we had a big dinner at Cody's parent's house with all of the family; aunts, uncles, cousins, grandmas... It's always so yummy. Ribs, potatoes, bread, salad, desserts, etc...

I guess Jackson wasn't excited about dressing up!

I wanted a picture of all of us, but this is all we got.

Christmas Eve in the snow

We headed up to Cody's parent's house in the morning on Christmas eve. That afternoon Cody and his dad and the kids played in the snow.

Jackson in a snow bank!

Charlie and Londyn having a snowball fight!

Cousin time!!! Carson, Londyn and Charlie

Yep, Cody jumped off the deck into the snow!
