My Cute Kids

I don't know if you know but my kids are best buds. They play together all day everyday and 95% of the time no one is crying. Jack isn't happy until Lyla wakes up in the morning and Lyla cries when Jack goes to preschool. They are two peas in a pod. So here are some cute pictures of my two cute kids. And yes I know they look a lot alike, and that they look like their dad :)

Playin'

Watching Despicable Me. Lyla will only watch movies if she can sit by Jack.

Lyla's favorite place in the whole house is Jack's room and her favorite place in Jack's room is his bed. She was so excited when she figured out how to get up there herself. Although Jack was always willing to give her boost, he loves to play with her on his bed.

I bought these little snack things for Lyla but Jack loves them too. I don't think we can leave the house without them!!

A Train Ride...

...it's kind of becoming a tradition to only ride the train into SLC during the winter. One of these days we will do it when it is nice and warm outside and I don't have to carry millions of pounds of winter wear!! But we still managed to have a grand adventure!!

Megan, Justin and Henry

Andrew, Rick, Doris and Jack

We rode the train into the city to go to the Children's Museum, which is fast becoming one of Jacks most favorite things to do!!

Lyla and Henry chillin in the baby corner, safe and sound from the complete chaos that was everywhere else!


Jack collecting some groceries, he is looking pretty angry in this picture, I wonder if someone stole his can of fruit or something!

Andrew must be telling a story...

Playing in the water is always the bestest!!!

Although it was a very cold and rainy day we had a lot of fun, thanks Martin's!!!!

Christmas

Our funniest moment this Christmas was when we tried to wake Jack up to open presents. First Sean sat downstairs and rang our sleigh bell for about ten minutes, nothing. Then he went upstairs where Jack promptly told him to stop talking about presents and turned over and went back to sleep. So I went and Jack said he would come as long as I would carry him. As soon as he saw the presents he was gone...

Before

Ten minutes later!

It was a great Christmas and I was completely exhausted at the end of the day! Kids really do make Christmas so much more fun!!

Christmas Eve

For us Christmas Eve starts with a lunch of Fettuccine Alfredo, this year we headed to Olive Garden so they could prepare it for us!




Then normally we would go sledding or build a snowman. Due to the lack of white stuff we settled on sending Sean shopping with my dad while I took a nap with Lyla and Jack played game after game with Megan and Justin!!

Thanks guys!

Sean and my dad got a new TV for their basement!! Such shoppers!!

That evening we had a yummy ham dinner and a especially fun nativity family home evening.

Lyla in her cute Christmas dress, she is learning to walk!


Candy canes are so much more interesting than getting your picture taken

This was Lyla about ten minutes after I put the dress on her and forty pictures later. She has a shoe obsession!

Merry Christmas!!!
