Caught Snuggling

Who Needs Toys?

Why do we buy our children toys?

 

 

Arilynn was also devastated when her "Styrofoam Barbie house" was destroyed by tornado Weston. Her mother was thrilled with the fact that not only was there snow outside, but there was also "snow" in her bedroom and all over the house from said tornado.

 

I've said it before and I'll say it again, "It's a good thing they're cute!"

Snow, Snow, Snow

The great snow of 2016! 23" was the last measurement Wesley got.

The kids didn't quite know how to react when they first went out because it was so high. So, they kinda just "dove" and "swam."

 

 

Camden did not like it! He couldn't move!

 

 

 

Rescued!

 

 

 

 

I like watching Daddy work better.

 

After Wes got a path shoveled, Camden decided he liked playing and knocking snow back into the path.

 

Our vehicle is under there somewhere.

 

The kids have played and played. Mom has painted and painted. Being snowed in is a good time for projects.

Camden Turns 2

This little guy turned 2 on the 6th.

 

 

 

He is busy, busy, busy. Just this morning I came downstairs to find that he had gotten into the pb jar and was having breakfast. It was all over his arms, hands, and face. Who knew I had been doing it wrong by getting a knife or a spoon? Apparently, you're supposed to just stick your arm in and dig.

 

If you sit down for a snack, he climbs up on a chair beside you and sticks his face in yours and says, "Ahhhhhhhhh." He won't leave until he's at least tried it.

 

He says several things, but you'd have to live with him to understand most of them. :)

"Drink, please."

"Pweeeeese" (Folds his hands like he's praying).

"Here it goes."

"Choo-choo." (Is obsessed with trains).

"Wook!!!!"

"Daddy" (That's my name, too).

"Momo, Rae-Rae"

"Cracker, cookie, & cheese"

"Dye-Dye"

"Hi!"

"Cold & Hot"

"Dog & Woof"

"Meow"

 

He likes to point at the little trampoline and have Mommy jump on it. He sits there and giggles. He is still attached to his blanket. After all the things I've caught him climbing on, he has yet tried to climb out of his bed like his brother and sister did. He just stands at the rail and hollers. If you want a kiss, you better snag it while you're getting him out of bed. He is a hard one to get kisses from and he's ornery about it.

 

He wasn't super excited about Christmas presents and got bored fast. So, he wasn't really into opening bday presents, either.

Mr. Smirks

This picture isn't even in focus, but I couldn't pass it up because Camden is always giving me this smirky grin. He's so fun!

 

10 Years

10 years...4 moves (5 for Wes as I was already living in our first place)...3 kiddos...1 pastorate...some sorrows...many laughs...some disagreements...several compromises...lots of lessons...I'm so glad that God put us together to do life with each other.

Christmas Sunday

Arilynn has been dying to wear this "Princess Dress" since Paige gave it to her at IHC. I don't know how many times we heard the word 'princess' today.

Can you just see the orneriness in Camden?! I love it! Ha.

 

We had our children's program last Sunday. They did a great job!
