Mmm Mmm Good!

Jace is becoming so independent, especially when it comes to eating. It's nice for me...until it's time to clean up! Oh well. At least he appreciates my cooking.

More pictures...

Since I always forget to take my camera anywhere, most of my pictures are of the kids at home. Here are just some random pictures we've taken lately.

Scott took this picture of Katie and Jace in the laundry basket. It is a favorite hang out spot.

Katie on her new birthday bike. She loves it, but still can't pedal it herself. We usually end up pushing her everywhere, bent over with our hands on the pedals trying to help her learn. I'm sure we look ridiculous, but at least she has fun!

We've read some of our books so often by now that Katelyn has most of the words memorized. It's so cute to see her 'read' to Jace!

Happy Jace...

Sad Jace.

Fun at the table.

The kids were being funny at the table the other day so I got out the camera and snapped some pictures...

This one is just a cute picture showing his teeth. What a big boy!

Fishy face.

Katie's attempt at a fishy face.

I'm going to pump...you up!

A big bite!

Valentine's Day

We had a great Valentine's Day! I've decided that all holidays are better with kids. There's just that extra bit of excitement that you don't get with adults. Even when the kids don't really get it, I always have more fun knowing that they'll be part of it.

Katie got lots of fun things for Valentine's Day from family and friends, and she loved them all! The heart shaped cake decorating sprinkles in this picture were a big hit. She ate them on her oatmeal...sprinkling some on, eating them all with a small bite of oatmeal, and then sprinkling on some more. They were gone in about 2 days! Unfortunately for Jace, his food police mother won't let him have treats yet...but he was here and had a good day too. : )

Here are my beautiful tulips from Scott. They were a surprise delivery on the 13th so I could enjoy them all day on Valentine's Day. Scott's not too big on celebrating this holiday so I really appreciated them! They made me happy every time I looked at them!

I knew Scott would appreciate this kind of Valentine's Day gift. He loves anything fizzy and cold.

Good Friends...

Here are some pictures of the kids together. They get along pretty well...as long as Katie isn't trying to pull Jace around by his head and Jace isn't poking Katie's eyes. They are becoming pretty good friends and it's so fun to watch them play together!

Katie is a cleaner upper and can't help but pick Jace's snacks up over and over again when he spills them.

They sat in the laundry basket loaded with animals and books. Not comfortable, but they seemed to have a good time.

They were so excited to see each other in the morning that they kept putting their faces together and laughing.

Say Cheese!

Katie loves giving Jace hugs, and he is usually okay with getting them!

Jace

I couldn't leave Jace out on our first day of blogging, so here are a few pictures that I love!We're at Cook Park in Denver for playgroup. He was so content to sit and watch everyone play!
Jace and his cousin Easton. They are pretty funny to watch together. They are either staring at each other or trying to poke each others eyes out. Being only a few weeks apart in age I think they'll be pretty good buddies growing up.
Jace is our cute little man! He's a pretty easygoing kid, but we've recently found a streak of feistiness in him. Look out!

Katie's 3rd Birthday

Katelyn recently had her 3rd birthday. I can't believe she is already 3 years old! She got a lot of neat things for her birthday, but I think she loved her pink cake and Barbie breakfast cereal the most. She carried the boxes around the house the whole week before her birthday! I don't think she even liked the taste of the cereal very much, but because it was 'Barbie' she loved it!
As a family tradition growing up we always got to choose what we had for dinner on our birthdays. I wanted to do the same with Katie. When I asked her what she wanted, she told me rice and chocolate (I think because we had just had rice for dinner that night). Maybe 3 is a little too young to be making menus, although she is constantly reminding us that she can do things because she is a big girl. We compromised on dinner and had pizza and chocolate milk. She was perfectly happy and had a great day!
