Snow Much Fun

We went up to Mt. Charleston to see the snow before Spring joins us. We had so much fun playing in the snow. We brought an old sled that my grandma gave us. Ethan wasn't a big fan of riding on it. In fact, he didn't really care for the snow that much. Taylor had a ball playing in the snow though and would have stayed all day if we let her.

Taylor loved the sled

Ready for Soccer

We just signed Taylor up for soccer. It doesn't start until the end of March so we have some time to get ready. We ordered this goal to start practicing. I'm a little worried about Taylor. She insisted on getting her ballet clothes on to practice.



It's a Girl!!!

We are going to have another cousin! At first Jeff and Kate were not going to find out the sex of the baby. Of course I did not like this idea! I don't like surprises but since it is not my baby I didn't really get a say in the matter. 25 weeks into the pregnancy they finally came to their senses. They took the ultrasound to a bakery and had the baker fill the cake with icing to represent what kind of baby it is. When they cut the cake it was pink icing inside. So, it will be a girl. We are so excited!!!!!!!!!!




Fire Station Visit

Our playgroup went on a fire station tour last week. One of the little boys in our group is lucky enough to have a fireman for a dad so we got an extra great tour. The kids were totally amazed by everything we saw. I learned some really interesting things too.


Most of the group sitting on the front of the engine.

We got to sit inside the fire engine too.

Nikki's Birthday

We had everyone over to celebrate Aunt Nikki's birthday. The kids helped bake the cake and of course do some taste testing along the way. Taylor insisted that the cake be pink.





Roller Paints

The kids got these new roller paints for Christmas. We have been playing with them everyday. Ethan and Taylor are becoming quite the artists. Taylor has finally moved beyond the stage of "everything must be pink" and is now using all colors on her artwork.

Homework

Taylor takes preschool classes two days a week right now. Her teacher doesn't give homework so I bought her some preschool workbooks. She can't wait for Ethan to take his nap everyday so we can do her "homework". I hope this love for homework never ends!
