Enjoying the Winter

I love this picture of Jensen

Coming home from the holidays is a big adjustment. We went from seeing everyone all the time for a couple of weeks to knowing that we probably would not see family for a long time. I tried to make it really fun for the boys back here in Ohio so they wouldn't miss everyone too much. This is our first fort that we made in our front room. They loved it.

Lennix loves to be told stories. This is Jay telling him one about airplanes before he went to bed. The next day, Lennix was running around the house telling me the story and holding his hand the same way and flying his airplane around the house. They listen more than we think.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAY BABY! He does not like a big deal made out of his birthday. But I had to post at least one picture. That was such a good cake!

This is how I found Jensen when I came back into the room after just a few minutes. He was so zonked so I just wrapped him up in a blanket and let him take his nap right there.

The first real SNOW DAY. So we all bundled up and went outside to play. Oh, I can't get enough of that smile.

I love this video. It puts a smile on my face everytime I watch it.

I am so glad I capture a picture of this. They were absolutely enjoying the snow.

I felt bad. I did not have any smaller boots for Jensen. I decided to buy them a little bit bigger so that he could grow into them. Well, he couldn't even take one step. He actually stayed in that one spot the whole time we were making our snowman and throwing snowballs. As you can tell, he didn't even care. He was just enjoying his time outside.

Lennix was so proud of his snowman. The snow had no moisture in it so it was so difficult to pack. You might laugh at how small it is but we were pretty impressed that we built it up so high. All in perspective!! Plus, I think it's the cutest snowman I've seen. Good Job Lennix!

The perfect "eating snow" picture

If you are dressed for an Ohio winter, it is actually quite pleasant. Me and my little buddy.

I know I say that other pictures are my "favorites" but as my kids get older I have new favorites. I love this picture because there is nothing better than a clean happy boy running around in his diaper.

This picture will make my parents laugh! Jensen had a fetish with their garland. Every time Jensen was not in our sight and was not making any noise we knew where he was. He would climb up the stairs to the landing and sit there and eat my parents garland. By the time we left they just had to take it down because Jensen had destroyed it.

When we got back into Ohio, Jay had a couple of days before school started so he took us to the Dental school and gave us a tour. This is where the lectures are held. Not too bad.

His locker
The clinic. Looks like some people are getting a head start.

After the tour Jensen was out. Lennix just wanted to be like Jensen so if you look closely you can tell he's faking it. :)

One thing I love about my mom is that she always comes up with something so fun for the kids to do. Ash and Lennix really wanted to play outside in the snow so my mom brought the outside in. They had so much fun. Lennix just kept on eating anything he made.
