Very snowy days that have kept us in the house (well, the boys got all dressed to go out several times, but it was too windy and cold...it didn't last long!). We decided to make some pretzels for a snack...Yummy!!

(Kellan's "K")

Tomato sauce dip...MMMM!

Playing

Kellan and Sean had a lot of fun at the community center today with Gramma Denno. Thank you Aunt Dianna for planning such a fun filled aventure!
XOXO G'night,
Us

The boys got a new toy yesterday (on clearance at TJ Maxx). Momma looked at it around Christmas, but when we saw it on sale...we "needed" it. Kellan and Sean have been playing for hours and love it. Kellan keeps saying..."I love my new toy!" I know that we are going to get a lot of use out of it and can't wait to use it outside!
XOXO Katie and the boys

The boys were able to get out on the driveway for a while the last couple of days. It has been a crazy winter...not a lot of snow to make playing outdoors fun, lots of ice to make things slippery, and really cold! It was fun to get out and burn off some energy (while Momma sat on the steps with a soft pillow and a hot cup of tea : )

The boys had so much fun with the Bishop girls at the pool. We sure are blessed to have such wonderful friends. You sure do know where all the fun stuff is hiding!

Kellan was so brave and really had a wonderful time!

Sean was a total escape artist...doing his best to get away from the kiddie pool and dive into the deep water! He kept Momma running!

Here is a link to a VERY short video clip of the boys at the pool...

Yup...that IS a firetruck in front of our house. Last week, our Carbon Monoxide detector sounded an alarm and Gramma and Great Gramma decided that maybe it was really a problem (Momma was at school) soooo...the fire department and gas company both came to the rescue!! It was lots of fun for us and the fireman were very kind to let us explore the fire truck. The event brought out all the neighbors ; ) Never a dull moment!

This is how we create our fun around here...a whole houseful of toys and the best fun is messing with the sofa pillows...

Kellan and Sean love working on all the projects that have been sent from their Aunts and Uncles!!

Kellan woke last Friday with a very sore knee. It turned out to be nothing, but he would not walk on it for almost a full two days? Here you can see our little patient recovering in his recliner while he practiced his numbers. (Love the new markers Auntie Jennifer and cousin Eve! Thank you!!)

XXOO Us

Well, it is our first day of vacation - but like clockwork...the boys were up at 5:15am...errrr...
I guess it gives me a chance to post some pictures that have been sitting on my computer.

Love to all!
XOXO

Hope your Valentine's day was special...
...the boys got balloons that really took a beating ; )


Kellan had a fun party at school....isn't he HANDSOME!! : )

He had lots of fun opening his Valentines!

He was also the leader on Valentine's day and got to bring home Barnaby Bear...he and Barnaby had lots of fun together...

and slept very well...

Dear Auntie Jennifer, Uncle John, Eve and April...

Thank you SO MUCH for the WONDERFUL GIFTS! It really was too much as always! We had such fun opening the boxes! Momma's camera battery stopped working while we opened Sean's box, so we don't have many pictures of his goodies. We promise that we have used all his toys (and worn the wonderful hats) non-stop!

XOXO Thank you AGAIN AND AGAIN!!
Love, Kellan and Sean (and Momma too!)

That was Sean's box...then the battery quit...oops!! They would not wait for it to charge?! GO FIGURE!!? ; )




Kellan had SO MUCH FUN~

Snow day #2 today (in a row!)...and before a long weekend?! What a blessing...


Really enjoying our Kindle Fire - - Thank you SO MUCH Bee!!

Success!!

Wistfully looking out at the snow falling...really beautiful!

This kid makes me work for EVERY PHOTO!! He sure is handsome though!!

Thank you Gramma Denno for receiving about 100 phone calls today from this little man. He really is precious...and very excited to spend the night with you! Until tomorrow then ... ; )

It was a long day and I'm amazed at how much more work it is to be home with these kiddos than to be at "work!" We spent a whole lot of time in front of the window this morning...watching a squirrel eat the sunflower seeds and rolling a train back and forth on the windowsill. We made it outside in the snow for a bit, but it was cold!!

Sean was rubbing his eyes a whole lot while I shot these pictures, but these sure do look beautiful! I am no expert, but it really looked like he was trying to rub away the "double vision" as his eyes defied him and did their best to work together. It may be just a mommy story, but it sure did look hopeful! I'm proud of this kid!!

A VERY BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISH FOR GRANDDAD BARRY AND HAPPY ANNIVERSARY WISHES FOR AUNTIE DEE AND UNCLE CIARAN!! Feel free to blame Momma for the delay... ; ) We love you!!

XOXO Kellan and Sean
