Sick kids

The kids have been sick for awhile now- today we found out both of Delia's ears are infected and she likely has the flu. Isaac is getting better except for the nagging cough. Hopefully now that we have some antibiotics Delia will be on the mend, too. Here's a couple of pictures of the kids before they got sick- to remind us of the dispositions we've been missing...

Day of Love

Happy Valentine's Day!

Matt and I did something fun to celebrate this year- we drove up to Grand Junction with our friends Jeff & Danica to see our favorite, Brian Regan. It was awesome! We left the kids overnight for the first time and had a glorious uninterrupted night of sleep. I was sad when we came home and the kids had really no interest in seeing us. They were have too much fun with Oma and Grandpa. The dog was 10 times more excited to see us. At least the kids had a good time! Sheep on the road on the way to Ouray...

Superheroes

I recently made a superhero cape for Isaac- once Delia saw him playing with it she wanted one... immediately! So I fixed a piece of fabric for her to play with , too. Here they are playing superheroes-

Hot Wheels Potty Training

We've been working to get Isaac potty trained lately- I had been dragging my feet, but it's really time for him to give up diapers. We have tried everything to motivate him including a very, very silly "Pee Pee On The Potty!" song and dance. I read about someone using Matchbox or Hot Wheels cars as reward so we thought we'd give it a try. It's working well with Isaac. He is well on his way to wearing his Lightning McQueen skivvies instead of Huggie's. He's also learning a lot about cars- he'll hold up a car and tell me, "This is a GTO, this is a Woodie, this is a Porshe..." Now if we could only find a place to put all these cars!

Adios Mustach-o

Matt's mustache. It was fun for awhile, but we're all glad it's gone now.

3D Superbowl

To Grandma's House We Go

Last weekend we finally made it to Matt's mom's house to hang out. We had a great time. The kids didn't want to come home! Here are some highlights...

Isaac in "The Orange Chair." This is a chair that Matt used as a kid and that his mom, Barb, used when she was a kid.

Both the kids love the piano at Grandma's house, but especially Isaac...

Delia in the car on the way home. I can't say that they were great travelers, but we made it!

Dressed Up Delia

This is the dress I bought for Delia to wear for Christmas this year. It had been hanging in her closet for 11 months, so I was excited for her to finally wear it to church for Christmas. Christmas Eve was super busy and I never got pictures of the kids dressed up. So I stuck Delia in the dress again to try to get a couple of pictures- I had visions of her sitting in a chair and smiling, something like that. Instead she was sprinting from room to room laughing and most of my shots are of the back of her head- these are a couple of her face. She is super cute, no?
