Winter Woes

Christian calls these goggles his glasses and insists on wearing them.

Funny, but cute picture if Collin.

I know I have complained a lot about this winter but really? Will it ever end? Really? Right before the end of February, I had such high hopes because it was sunny and sort of warm, 50 degrees one day! Spring!? My friend Mandy and I were so excited we decided to celebrate with a Goodbye Stupid February Party.

But alas March has betrayed us. We trusted March. First with a whole lot of snow and lots of overcast days. Now it's sunny but bitter cold.... It was in the negatives yesterday. :( But okay there are some good things that have come from March. We finally got to use our snow blower. We ordered it back when we got dumped on back in December. When we finally got the snow blower, it stopped snowing... at least not enough to break out the snow blower. But yay, we have been able to use it three times. Jesh and I were also able to sneak away and go skiing with my dad and brother. Very fun! Thanks Mom and Auntie Jade for watching our kids! And this sunshine... is awesome! I can sit inside and pretend that it is a sunny summer day...

Collin

Can you believe Collin is ONE!? I feel like I just had him. He is walking, pretty much runny after Christian. He goes around the house grunting and babbling. And he is become his on little person. It has been so awesome to watch. I love this little guy!

We couldn't get everyone together on one night. So, we ended up having three parties.

Johnson family party: It's a duck if you cant tell! Not my best cake!

Collin wouldn't dig in like Christian did. But he eventually ate some of it.

Poteet Party: Collin knew a little more what to do with this cake and was more comfortable with digging in.

Barlow Family Party: Collin was really comfortable this time and dug right in.

Thank you to all that celebrated our sons birthday with us!

6 years!

WOW, we look like kids in this picture.
On February 14th, Jesh and I celebrated our 6th anniversary. The time has flown by. But at the same time, it seems like I have loved him always!

My Little Helper

Christian has been very into helping me do things lately. He helps me with the dishes. He unloads the utensils and sprays down the dishes. He makes a giant mess with sprayer but I am just glad that he is learning to help out. He also helps me set the table. And he loves to be the dumper when I am making cookies.
