Our babies growing up

I'm watching them grow in front of my eyes and I can't believe it. Ty has gotten so big, he is so sweet and the things that come out of his mouth are unbelieveable. His memory still amazes us, he recalls things from last year - and remembers them correctly. He is a funny little man and acts just like his daddy. Our church service was put back to 2:00 last Sunday due to more snow and ice. We were all on the floor playing as a family when Aidan and I had to take cover from the wreastling between daddy and Ty. He made us die laughing as he ran around the kitchen for the 5 time, running towards daddy preparing to hit the pile of pillows we pulled of the couch and put on the floor. After his giggling stopped he stood up and said "daddy, this isn't a jungle gym" We couldn't stop laughing, knowing he has especially heard us say that to him when he tries to run on the pews at church. Aidan still adores Ty, anytime we are playing on the floor Aidan just tries to tackle him and give him kisses. She has become our little monkey. She climbs on anything. You can't turn around for a second before she is trying to stand in her chair and climb up on the table. I fear the day that she gets even bigger and tries to climb up on the kitchen counter or something higher off the ground. She still has daddy wrapped around her little finger, especially when she gives him kisses without being asked. However, she is still a momma's girl. She has begun saying words, momma - dadda- Ty- Bailey- baby - and the dreaded - NO. I think yesterday I even heard her say "no maam" which is what I say to her. Yesterday Ty and I both went crazy at the same time as we watched Aidan walk from the ottoman to the couch (about 4/5 steps) She is getting closer, I'm expecting to wake up one day and watch her go running. Still can't believe our babies are getting so big so quickly.

Fun in the snow

On Friday night began a wonderful snow storm that kept our family at home for the weekend and on into this week. The kids loved it, we got out into the snow Saturday and had snow ball fights, slide down hills and Ty and daddy tackled each other in the snow. The weekend was filled with the warm smells of all the cold day comfort foods. Homemade pot roast with all the fixings, hot chocolate with marshmallows and warming ourselves by the fire. Sunday church services were cancelled due to the icy road conditions so we spend the day reading our bible stories, playing in the snow again, and having family time with movies. This was not Ty's first time in the snow so he was prepared for our snow games. Aidan's first time in the snow went well for her. She enjoyed eating some of it, and didn't shy away from touching the snow (even when she took her gloves off) She just giggled at Ty and daddy as they ran around crazy. It was a wonderful weekend of amazing memories.
