Been Out Of Town...

We sure do! :) For the past week, we have been in California celebrating my oldest niece's (1st of 20 1/2 grandchildren) wedding. Upon returning last night, our pet sitter left us a few notes. Apparently "We LOVe JonEs" is all he could spell out with Evan's magnetic letters but we got the point. :) Thank you Jones for watching our pets and for the commentary on our grocerie list below... :)

A couple days ago, we were in this weather, 82 degrees, tank topped toddler on a trampoline.

This morning we were playing on snowy side yards and sipping cocoa. :)

blogging of california trip to come but it may not be till next week. i had horrible internet coverage while there so you only got snipets from my phone. so sorry. :)

SNOW!

We woke up this morning much to our surprise to SNOW!! ;) Evan had been up for 'awhile' so as soon as I saw the snow, I ran towards Evans room, calling to Michael to throw me some going outside clothes as I busted into Evan's room yelling, IT'S SNOWING! :) I threw the first clothes I could on him and slipped my camera over my shoulder as I dressed myself going towards the back yard. Evan didn't know what was happening but he liked it cause it involved going 'outside'. ha ha ha. So here you go. After awhile I repeated the process for Cora only I pretty much woke her up, slapped a huge jacket on her and Evan's old hat and let her experience her first snow. She was too sleepy to really appreciate it but Evan loved it. Mommy loves snow too. I'm a Californian, so sue me. xo

100th Post!

The last Winter storm before Spring (likely).

It SNOWED today! I was so happy that we finally got snow on a day I could actually enjoy it! I usually have to work the day's it's snowed really well here in Tennessee. So, it was enough that with our minimal snow accumulation in TN, we aren't prepared for caring for the roads = church was cancelled for us this morning. As much as I would have liked to go to church I was shamefully excited because this meant I'd get to make my first snowman in all of my 35 years! Seriously, I've never made one before even when I lived in Provo Utah for 1 1/2 years. So here it is...

more pictures:

Predators vs. Chicago Black Hawks this past Tuesday night. Matt and Michael got to sit with a friend in really good seats with perks (food) so our TN nieces got to come with Nanci, Evan and I in our regular season ticket seats. We are bummed we weren't at the game Saturday night when we 'killed' the Detroit Red Wings 8-0!

We're finally using our High Chair we bought at IKEA 4 1/2 months ago! Obviously Evan loves it and is displaying his newest adventure: eating rice cereal. Last week, he tried Bananas and pictured is Carrots he tried last night for the first time. He likes them both but really, I mix them with the cereal that I know he already likes so to get him used to it. Eventually I'll give them to him straight. This week I'll introduce a new fruit then a new Vegitable. I'm thinking either Prunes or Pears and the vegi, Green beans. So exciting experimenting with your kid! lol. Also, for your pleasure, you can see, he enjoys eating as many fingers as will fit in his mouth. ;) This causes many smiles from us and drool from him as he's 'teething'. I don't see or feel any teeth yet and don't anticipate any for a couple more months but still, he's definately chewing to bring them in. I'm pretty sure I won't be putting my fingers in his mouth when he does, without a little prayer first. :) Ouch! That can hurt

Finally... Bath Time! He loves it! Here he is in one of his 3rd most favorite place, a tub of water! (third after his bouncer and exerciser)He only gets a couple inches but he loves to splash splash splash in it! Also pictured is his favorite Pirate rubber ducky that tells if the water is too hot but Evan loves to stare at it. :) Thanks again Melody!
