sometimes you just get a sweet picture...

Just found these pictures and noticed how sweet they are. This is the kids with their daddy watching Disney World YouTube videos..... we watched videos of the rides every night for a couple of weeks before we headed off to Disney.

some things we have been up to...

snow days!! the kids had a lot of fun playing in the snow. Hutch was kinda cranky about wearing gloves...so he wore socks...got them wet...more socks....repeat. Santa brought the kids a sled this year and we were so excited to have it on hand for the snow! Hutch still has his pacy and sleeping in his crib. We are in no hurry to change either... He is funny! He runs and hides when I try to change his diaper, doesn't like to wear socks, LOVES all tractors and trucks and will point out everyone we pass while driving. He likes to flip his bedroom light on and off repeatedly until he gets sleepy enough he will finally lay down. He doesn't cry just flips his light and jumps in his bed....oh, and kicks the wall. He also very very much likes to JUMP off raised surfaces and stick his landing....and yell "yaaaawwww!"

Tess enjoyed a very pretty princess tea dress up party at her friend Abbys house. They had tea served, drank out of real tea cups, ate fruit and princess crown shaped sandwiches. Tess loved it!! Tess has really come into her own lately... She is amazing. (Im just gonna brag on her for a minute but this is really for Tess to read one day).. Tess, you are the sweetest thing! I love you so much! You have the sweetest most thoughtful disposition of a 5 year old I have ever seen. You are a wonderful big sister and Hutch loves and looks up to you tremendously. You think of others before yourself almost all of the time. Really, the only things I have been having to get on to you about are interrupting me when I am talking to someone or on the phone. You are a very obedient child. You are also very playful! You love to play pretend and do crafts! As long as I have energy I will play as much as I can with you!! Today we played "pet shop" you sold me lots of animals for 1 cent or 2 cents....lol! Love you and Hutch!!!
