Joey...

Joey Joey Joey - the sweetest, cutest little boy around!! Well, he's starting to get into some mischief! His cuteness helps to make it ok... it's just funny to watch him because he gets this little smirk and tries to be sneaky! lol. So what's he up too? Here you go. He LOVES to get into the bathroom and play with toilet paper - he even knows how to open the lid and get into the toilet as well so these days, we just keep the door closed!

He still loves to play in the kitchen. We put the locks on all the cabinets now so he has spent more time in the "play" kitchen. He loves to take the pans, put food in them and stir it around. Or, like today, EAT the food and crawl really fast so Brooklyn couldn't catch him!


And a favorite right now... the garbage cans! He's in them CONSTANTLY!

He also has 5 big teeth now (4 on top, one on bottom) and more about ready to break through on the bottom. Kind of impressive especially since the first tooth didn't poke through until the beginning of December. He's just getting them all at once. He eats everything and his favorite meal is breakfast. He'd sit in his chair for hours as long as you keep cutting up fruit for him. His favorite is blueberries! He waves night night and bye and claps his hands. He pulls himself up and walks along things to get him from place to place. I bet he'll be walking soon! He says Mama and Dada and grunts and lunges towards things when he wants it - especially food! He puts play phones up to his ear and pretends to talk and he always knows exactly what to do with the remotes... he points it right at the TV, it's pretty funny!

He is so sweet, still very sensitive, does not like loud noises and is quite the Mommy's boy - I don't mind one bit! He is one of the best gifts we have ever received and we love him SO much! I'll update more after next week when he goes to the Dr for his 15 month check up. 15 months?!?!!?

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it SNOW!!!

A major storm rolled through so we headed up to Prescott. Only about an hour north, but a whole different world!

We even got to SEE it snow!! So much fun! 

ant the hotel had a pool, hot tub, warm fire and freshly baked chocolate chip cookies! Perfect!

We met up with friends we haven't seen since they moved to Prescott and had dinner together

Watching the snow! So exciting!

The next morning, we bundled up and headed out to find the perfect sledding hill!

She's ready!

Whee!

Joey was perfectly content watching everyone from his sled!

Go Brooky!

We brought the turtle that we use in the pool and it worked great!

Daddy's going to join in on the fun. Brynn doesn't look impressed! haha

The girls made snow angels...


We made a snowman - well, sort of! It wasn't the best packing snow ...


Brynn had a list of things she wanted to do in the snow... Sledding, Snowball Fight, Make a Snowman, Make Snow Angels - and last but not least, EAT IT! LOL.  She didn't miss a thing!

Silly girl!
We love snow!

We had the best time. The kids did great (well, sleeping was a little rough for Joey) - but the only real meltdown was when it was time to go :(... Brooke wanted to stay 5 more days!

Happy New Year! (& Happy February too! LOL)

We rang the new year in in style! Blowers, noise makers and a bottle of champagne... filled with confetti!

Watching the countdown on TV

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Woohoo! Bring on 2016!

Joey didn't totally love the bottle of confetti... but he did like trying on his hat!


Happy New Year! Hope it's off to a great start. We are looking forward to many more fun adventures this year! Love you all.
