Hey Homey

A friend of mine sent us some clothes for the girls (and Jack). Even though they are all too big for Ella, she has tried them all on. This is a hat that Josh tried on thinking he could make it fit him! The rest of us can just look at the hat and tell it won't fit:-)

Taylor's Tooth

Taylor lost her first tooth last Thursday. She was eating an apple with her side teeth and it fell out!

She has a "tooth fairy pillow" that she got for Christmas. She was so excited to put her tooth in the little pocket. As Josh was putting them in bed, he wanted Taylor to put the pillow under her pillow. She said she didn't want to. Then, he suggested she hang it from her bedpost. She also came back with a "no." Josh asked her why. She said, "I want to hang it on the door. That way you and Mom don't have to come in my room to get it." Josh told me later that he must have been the most naive kid that ever was because he was older when he lost his first tooth and he believed in the tooth fairy. To tell you the truth, I think he still does:)
Ella wanted her picture taken too since Taylor got hers taken.

Need I say more...

Yes, Josh made it to the big rally after the Super Bowl. What an awesome team we have!!

The kids are growing up...

...and around! I'm not sure Jack likes his Bumbo as much as I do! His legs are so big they barely fit in it.
The girls are starting to like their dress up a little more. As you can see, Ella doesn't quite have the hang of it. I really don't let her walk around naked all the time. Especially when it's so cold out!
Taylor has her first VERY loose tooth. It won't be much longer before it will be out. It won't be long before we hit the ugly stage - something Micah doesn't know much about:)
Jack's not too sure about his Johnny Jumper either. He WILL like it though! I'm going to make him!

And then there were the kids...

The kids all played really well together. It made me remember being little and going to Grandma's house.

All the kids love Dad. They love him to hold them.
Jackson in the Bumbo! Those things are awesome!
Tickle Me Elmo was the big hit. The kids and adults got tickled over that - no pun intended.
And then there were the big kids. We were preparing to play a new game only Brad B. knew how to play. How convenient!!!

Christmas at the Cabin

Here we are at Brad's parent's cabin. Here Micah is enjoying Olivia.
We were just sitting around talking. Mom is waiting to see which son-in-law is going to make her laugh.
Guess who!! Here's Josh making fun of someone. He's a great impersonator.
And here's Brad laughing at Josh. It was pretty funny!
Hannah gave me a break from Jack. She was preparing for her new little one.
