Trying to escape...

Last night Cali randomly started trying to take her shirt off. She got this far and then got frustrated because she couldn't get it off:

I guess she forgot that her arms were in the shirt too. :)

Cali's 1st dress of the year!

Today Cali wore a dress that she got for Christmas from her Great-Grandma. It's a cute little dress for a cute little girl. :)

Cali's "CHEESE!!" face:

Aedan was driving his car around all smiley so I added a picture of him too. :)

Potty training...

The holidays are over so since we'll be home for a while the potty training has begun!

Any tips from anyone would be greatly appreciated since this is our 1st try! :)

"I'm watching a movie"

Yesterday Geoff was making dinner and I was blogging and Geoff tried to ask Aedan something only to hear Aedan say "I'm watching a movie Dad!". So, Geoff peeked into the room and saw Aedan sitting on the couch with his legs crossed wearing my glasses watching Baby Einstein. I was sitting right here totally oblivious so when I turned and saw him it cracked me up. Luckily the camera is always on hand for moments like this. We sure love this little guy full of silly moments!

New Year's Day Sledding!

For New Year's Day we were invited to go sledding with some friends of ours and their little girls. They let us borrow some snow boots and a snow suit for Aedan so the kids could keep dry. We were excited to go and so were the kids. I took a million pictures as usual and here are some of them...

Cali all bundled and ready to go:

We had so much fun! Thanks to the Hafen's for inviting us for all the fun in the snow!

New Year's Eve!

This New Year's Eve we pretty much did the same thing we did last year. It's so much easier to just stay home, put the kids to bed and do something low key when the kids are so little. So, Lisa and Wade came over to spend the evening with us watching movies, playing games and eating tons of snacks and junk food. Geoff and I finally joined the real world and got a Blue Ray DVD player for ourselves for Christmas so we wanted to watch something cool on it. We only have 3 Blue Ray DVDs so far so Lisa and Wade brought over some of theirs and man... we have been missing out! It was awesome! :) Then we played some games and got ready for the count down. At midnight we went outside (so we wouldn't wake the kids) and popped some poppers with the neighbors. It was pretty fun and nice to have some adult time. We took some silly pictures of our night just so we'd have some proof that we stayed up. :)

We got some party hats this year and some strawberry & pina colada daiquiri mix for some yummy virgin daiquiri's so we took some pictures with those:

Me with my noise maker:

Lisa and I are HUGE "Friends" fans and totally got our hubby's hooked on it too. Lisa got me this game a few years back and we had fun playing it. Geoff & I beat Lisa & Wade by 1 turn. It was SO close!!

Outside with the poppers:

Voted the best picture of the night

(Geoff's face is hilarious!):

We took a similar picture years ago when we were on the strip for

New Year's (CRAZY!) so we thought we'd re-create it

So pretty!

My kids LOVE my chapstick! Mostly they think it's really yummy and love to eat it and then when I go to find my chapstick it's a big mess of slobbered on gook. I finally taught Aedan how to use it and that it's for your lips but Cali is still learning this. Yesterday she got my chapstick and was putting it on her lips like she was supposed to and we thought it was pretty cute that her whole mouth was covered in pink. She did try to eat it every few minutes but mostly just kept going back and forth across her lips. She thought it was so fun! I had Geoff take a few pictures.
