Happy early birthday to me... a day early

The kids really wanted to eat my birthday cake, so we ate birthday cake and ice cream Friday night.

Saturday we had donuts for breakfast and then after naps we headed to Kokomo to meet up with Matt's family.  We had dinner and then played at Chuck E Cheese.  The kids were very worn out.  They had a blast at Chuck E Cheese.

More fun in the snow

 Ally took it upon herself to make a snow man.

She did a great job and let the kids help out as well.

 Josey kept yelling "mom, moooommm, mooommmyyyy" then she'd giggle and do it again.

A snow fun day

 These girls love having the big kids at school.

 There are major perks to the big kids (and daddy) coming home.

You get to play outside in the snow. 

Ready for church

 Matt is coming home from New Orleans tomorrow afternoon.

I am excited to have him home. I think these crazy kids are excited as well.

Dancing their way out of February

Jo and Lu

Silly faces

Girls Girls Girls

Jo blows me away everyday by how smart she is and how well she can talk.

During the night last night she was naming animals and was doing a phenomenal job.

She is 19 months and talks as well as most 2 1/2 year olds.

 This pretty girl needs to stop eating her top lip!

But she went #2 on the potty twice today.  And she went in and did it all by herself.  Then yelled for me to come wipe her.  After she got done, she informed me that daddy has to buy her a puppy now.

Funday Monday

 These girls are so fun.

Things are definitely different when Ben's at school. 

The house is much quieter.  Lots of giggles and princess voices being heard.

 This little girl is OBSESSED with the computer desk.

I haven't come up with a good way to keep her away from it.  

So I just try to keep the computer turned off so she can't delete anything.

 This happy girl lost her 8th baby tooth.  She now has her molars left to lose and that's it.

Gotta love 'em

These 2 crazy kids can be the best of buds or the worst of siblings.  And it can change in a blink of an eye.

 Miss Ally stayed home from school Tuesday and Wednesday.  After going to the doctor on Tuesday and finding out she is negative for strep, hand foot mouth and a uti we decided she was dealing with a basic cold and serious constipation.  

We went to church with Grandma Horn and left Ally home with Papa.  

Ally wasn't feeling well (more on that later).
