January - March 2013

Snow, snow and more snow!  It surely was a snowy winter.  Which, by May, I'm definitely sick of, but I was a little sad last winter when we hardly had any.  Jocelyn loves to play outside, even in winter.  They go out quite a bit at daycare, and we tried to get out at least a few times every weekend. 







 Poor Carla wasn't dressed at all for the weather....
 She asked practically every time we were out if the dogs could pull her in the sled.  She finally resorted to pulling other things as we don't have sled dogs.
 Our first Lite Brite experience...not sure who had more fun, her or me....



Here's our other new nephew - Elias!  We haven't met him yet - these are pictures from Mom & Dad when they went out in January.  We're going to visit in a week and a half, and I can't wait!
 Poor Abel broke his leg while sliding.  From what we hear he was pretty good about figuring out how to get around despite the cast.
 Isn't he sweet?  I can't wait to hold him!



 Who doesn't love a playdough birthday cake?  This one Jocelyn made for me all by herself!

 Kailee got her braces off!
 Dad's first knee replacement
 Disney on Ice at the Target Center.  What a great show that was!  I was really impressed, and Jocelyn thought it was great too.  I'd definitely recommend this show.

 We spent the next day helping out Grandpa - Jocey thought the walker was pretty fun to play with.
 4 year olds shouldn't be allowed to use nail polish by themselves....

 Jocelyn's very into wrapping presents lately.  This is one she did - all by herself!  She is available for rent if anyone needs some presents wrapped.  Be sure to have quite a few rolls of tape available though - she likes to make sure it's good and secure.  So far the presents have mostly been toys or books of hers that she graciously shares.  But sometimes they are beautiful artwork - those are my favorite.  We went to Target a few weeks ago and she wanted to bring some of her own money.  We hit up the dollar section, and the first thing she picked out - wrapping paper!  What a goofy kid.
We now have an official teenager in the house!  Kailee turned 13 in March, which seems entirely too old.  We had a nice time having cake and opening presents - she had a friend party a few weeks before her birthday.



 We also celebrated Calvin's birthday - I won't tell how old he is.  He requested a DQ cake - I hadn't had that forever!


 Jocey and I going to Henry's 2nd birthday party - the theme was yellow!
 We went to Govin's this year to see the lambs and chickies.  We skipped last year, so Jocelyn didn't remember it.  She had a blast and could have stayed all day!  It was really cold and rainy that day, so it wasn't crowded at all, which was great.

 The chicks were her favorite - she would grab them and hold them so nicely.
