Who needs a fork?

When you have fingers!

Love him to pieces, but he is such a mess maker!

She's got moves

Practicing her moves the other night!

Goofy Girl!

Egg Hunt

We did a little Easter Egg hunt on our dangerous, unfenced lot with all the little kids.

Easter Dinner

Betty Crocker, I mean Cody, shredding the YUMMY ham!

Jackson slurping up Aunt Taya's delicious "frappe" I think she called it. (pineapple sherbet, frozen mixed berries and sparkling cider)

Some of the group. We had my parents, Cody's parents, my brother Brandon, my brother Caleb and his wife Nikki, and my Aunt Taya and her hubby Fred and their 4 kids. It was a party!

The desserts. Cupcakes by me and sugar Cookies from Kneader's- thanks Carla!

Easter Baskets

No carrots, so the Easter Bunny got asparagus and powerade!

Sooo excited for ANOTHER Barbie movie!

Easter Kids!

This is the only picture of the 2 of them, both looking at the camera, on Easter.

Londyn could pose all day!

Jackson could not be bothered to sit still!

He NEEDED to go play in the dirt!

Cabelas

Last night Cody had to work late. So we brought him some dinner. Then on the way home Londyn saw Cabelas and was "dying to go." So I said, why not. Cody wasn't going to be home and we've only been there 3 times in the year and a half we've lived here.

1st stop- look at the fish.

Next- world's biggest camping chair!!

Then, they tested out this camo golf cart thing.

Finally we went upstairs to test out all of the tents and camping chairs. And we got Icee's from the cafe.
Who knew Cabelas could be so fun?

Farm Country

Last week when we had such nice spring-like weather, the kids and I went to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point.

We went on a "hay ride" pulled by 2 horses. Both kids loved it, but Jackson refused to sit down. So he kept falling!

Jackson loves playing in the "jail."

While we walk around Londyn collects dead leaves, pieces of hay or whatever else she can find so she can feed it to the horses and ponies.

Isn't this peacock pretty? It was all white. Hopefully we will have more nice days to go the Farm!

Latest House Project

So 1 thing we didn't like about our house was that there wasn't a living room that opened up to the kitchen. We have a front formal living room but you can't see our kitchen from it, then we have a bedroon right off the kitchen that we've always had as an informal living room or family room. So just before Christmas Cody decided to start a new project- tearing out part of the wall from the family room to open it up to our kitchen.

This past Saturday we finally got one of the hard parts over with. We had to put a beam in the wall, up near the ceiling because the wall is a load bearing wall. A good friend of ours from our old neighborhood came over to help us.

And now it looks like this. We think we want to put french doors on so we still have the option of closing to room off if we want.

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!
