'Olive You!'

Taelyn is our little eater. This girl eats everything! One thing she absolutely loves (just like her Mom) is Olives!

 We were telling her to smile. Have no idea what this face was supposed to be.

 Then she got the 'smile' down.

 Then we decided to tell her to pick her nose...haha.

And then they were 'all gone!'


Taelyn "Olive you!!"

Painting the Snow

I have been feeling a little 'Cabin Fever' going on this last week. So last night Josh and I were talking about things the kids and I could do to get out of the house. He suggested playing in the snow, hiking up the mountain....I didn't think that sounded like much fun, especially with my big belly and it's been FREEZING!! Since we live in a pretty small town there isn't a whole lot to do, so I knew I was going to have to get creative and I was just going to have to suck it up and face the cold weather. :)

But then an idea came to me, what if we painted the snow. Here's what we did.

 We got empty water bottles and drilled a hole (or two) into each lid.

Thanks Daddy for making the holes!

Then we filled each bottle with water and added a few drops of food coloring in each bottle.

 Next we went outside and painted the snow! Not only did Kameron and Taelyn love it, but our little cat, Tom, loved it too.

 We put the bottles into a basket and put them in a sled, that way I could just pull the sled with the bottles. It made it easier for picture taking.

 Then we walked and painted.

 Then we stopped to draw a smiley face for Daddy to see. And so I could take a picture.

 But as you can see they weren't very interested in taking pictures.

 We had to stop and re-fill our bottles and then it was back out to paint the snow.

 We decided to leave Dad a little message.

I think the 'snow painting' was a Success! They didn't want to come inside, but our bottles were pretty much done after 3 rounds of painting.

Playin' in the Snow!

One morning Kameron and Taelyn wanted to go outside and sled. I knew Kameron wouldn't have a problem sledding and walking around in the snow, but I wasn't sure about Taelyn.

I decided to let them go, but I told Kameron to take care of Taelyn and to help her.

I was ready to go out into the snow to save Taelyn because I was sure she would be cold or crying in a matter of minutes, but when I came outside this is what I saw.

 Kameron doing a very good job of helping Taelyn. :)

It was so cute. He really is such a good big brother. He held her hand and made sure she got out of the sled ok and helped her walk up the hill.

 They had such a great time sledding. They would laugh and scream as they went down the hill.

 And every time they got to the bottom of the hill, Kameron made sure to help Taelyn up.

Thank you Kameron for being such a great Big Brother!
