Wednesday

It is pretty obvious that I am not able to keep up with this blog. I want to have these small memories in a few years so I decided to try and keep it up once a week. Hopefully on Wednesday. *****NOTE: I CAN NOT GET THE POST TO PUBLISH CORRECTLY. I ALSO DON'T HAVE TIME TO KEEP TRYING TO FIX IT. SORRY~I KNOW IT IS ANNOYING******* 1. Birthday Party The house has been pretty crazy lately. As the boys reach their 18th month milestone they are changing...A LOT. Busy, busy, busy. Last weekend I had a small break in the craziness and had a small get together at my house. Shelby got people together from work to celebrate my and Amy's birthdays. She got here early and we cooked food, had some drinks, and watched Butler get into the Final Four...AGAIN! Here are some pictures of Shelby starting a fire. I haven't had a fire in the fireplace in years. Yes, actually years. It was a nice change (though my house still smells like a fire.) Anyways, grateful for the time spent with friends.

**Shelby was wearing all black so all you can see was the skin from her ankle.

2. Outside "Out"

The boys LOVE LOVE LOVE to play outside. There are no tantrums, no tears, no fighting (usually).....it is great. They just walk around, play with balls, and enjoy the fresh air.

Sort of sad that it is snowing outside right now...but still they LOVE being outside.

3. Owen

It has been crazy hard to get pictures of Owen looking at the camera. Yesterday afternoon he actually let me get one...and boy is it cute!

4. Apples "puls"

The new, WONDERFUL, thing that we do in the house is eat whole apples. The boys walk around and eat apples, sit and relax to eat their apples....they just love to eat whole apples. Maybe it is because the apple is in the shape of balls or maybe it is just because they are so yummy. Either way, it keeps them occupied for awhile with a healthy snack.

5. Sleeping

The boys both slept 20 minutes longer this morning. It was a nice surprise and much needed little break. So just to review, the usually get up around 650 or 7am. This morning 720!!!
