Ranger Rides

Yesterday we took our kids out for a ride on the new Ranger. For those of you keeping track, we sold the Rhino and bought a Ranger so we can fit all the kids without having to ride anyone on my lap. We were babysitting our neighbor boys so they came with us. The kids all had a great time! Shalise has had croup too so we thought it would be good to get her out in the cold air. It seems to have worked because she's not coughing anymore. So who says you can't have fun and cure croup at the same time? :)

Pretending it's warm enough...

Today we thought we'd pretend that it is warm enough to go out for a walk. It actually didn't end up being that bad with the sun out. It was nice to get out of the house and the kids had a great time. Carson got tired of walking towards the end so who says a wagon can't fit 3 kids right?

Rainy Days

So the 4 inches of ice that we've had sitting in our parking lot melted into water this morning and the kids couldn't have been more excited! And since it was rainy a little bit they broke out the umbrellas they got for Christmas and jumped through puddles. They got pretty wet but had tonz of fun!

Going to the potty--backwards

So today Marcus told me that he had to go to the potty backwards, so I said Ok, whatever that means, just go! So I go to see if he's done and this is what I see:

He really was going to the potty....backwards. Silly kid!

Big Girl Bed!

Here is Shalise in her new big girl bed! She loves it!

Happy New Year 2010!

On New Year's Eve, Jake and I didn't really do too much. We watched a movie with some friends and I think we were both asleep by 11! New Year's Day Jake and I went to go see a movie with some friends and then we told the kids we would have a slumber party in our front room and watch a movie. Really that means, you can all lay here till you fall asleep and then you're going to your own beds... It was really fun, we blew up the air matress and all piled on it and watched a movie. Shalise was funny cuz she was all over the place for a while and then came over and laid on me and never moved again! Dead asleep! Marcus was asleep soon after and Carson watched the whole movie. Then we put them all in their own beds. It was a fun little slumber party! And I don't have any pictures because my camera wasn't working that day... The following day we decided to take the kids out to Jake's parents house and ride the Rhino and pull sleds behind it. The kids ended up not wanting to ride on the sleds so we just did Rhino rides instead. Carson loved watching the snow kick up off the tires and just laughed and laughed! And every time I looked back at Marcus and Shalise they had big smiles on their faces, they love going for rides!

My kids also love to dance, so here is their Happy New Year dance! 2010 is off to a fun start for our family and we hope it is for yours too!
