Happy 10 Months Beautiful Jocie

 My beautiful baby girl turned 10 months 3 days ago. I thought I would post a couple of her along with a couple of Tanner at 10 months to compare both of them. What cute babies :) Right now Jocie will give you kisses when you ask, give you a hug and pat your back, fold her arms when you say "fold your arms," likes to dance, LOVES to give big smiles, does patty cake, peek-a-boo, does "so big", crawls everywhere and gets into everything, puts everything in her mouth, loves to talk on the phone and put it up to her ear, likes to play with her brush and brush her hair, LOVES to take baths and splash in the water and is now FINALLY sleeping through the night - YAY! She loves her brother and watches every move he makes. They have such a cute bond. I love her so much and am so blessed and lucky to have her in my life. I love you baby girl!!
Loves her binky just like her brother did :)
I can't believe he's grown up so much. This seems almost like yesterday.

She loves to lay on Tanner's army beanbag chair. I'm noticing when I compare the pics that her hair is a lot straighter than Tanner's was. He already got that top curl at the age she's at now.
What a cutie!

Columbia Trip

So this post is a little late but I had to post it! A group of us went to Columbia on the 23rd. It was crazy because there were 4 of us and each one of us has 2 kids and we all fit in two cars. Yes, we were crammed and every seat was full but it was a blast. Kari and Kristen had the four big kids and Ens and Ash and I had three babies. They all slept on the way up which was awesome because we got to dance it up with our own music rather than kids music......a VERY nice change. We had a lot of fun and the kids were able to let all of their cooped up energy out at the Kidz Court. 
Noah, Tanner, Addy & Bostyn

They had SO much fun running up and down this long bench

Ash and I - there was a real cool major close-up of this shot but Ashley wanted to keep it for herself because we looked way too hot...hahaha, j/k!!

YAY - A day OUTSIDE at the Lake!

Finally.... a nice day and a chance to get outside. It was 56 degree's and sunny so we went with some friends to the lake and had a picnic. Tanner had fun with his friends playing on the playground and throwing rocks in the lake. Half of the lake is still frozen but there were patches of water. It really made my day to get out of the house and to see the kids having fun too. This makes me more excited for spring and summer. BOO YEAH!

Valentine's Day

I LOVE LOVE Valentine's Day because I have such a sweet husband that I get to spend it with each year along with two beautiful kids. Nate had his block tests in the morning and then came home in the early afternoon. He brought home Jocie and I a rose and a card and me a cute headband and brought Tanner some of his favorite chocolates with sprinkles. He is ALWAYS so thoughtful. I love him SO much. When I read the card he wrote for Jocie, I got teary-eyed. Seriously, cutest thing ever. I had to post a pic of it so you could read how cute it was.
Daddy and his baby girl. She looks so proud. Her first Valentine's Day and she got a rose from her daddy. Aww.... precious!
Tanner with his Valentine goods ready to dig in
I will always give my boy kisses know matter if he likes it or not. It's just what Mom's do :)

Happy 1st Valentine's Day to my baby girl
Later that night we went to Ruby Tuesday for dinner.... yes with the kids too. It was a wild, crazy time but still very fun.

Happy Valentine's to my family. I love you all so much. ***MUAH***

Snowed In

At the beginning of this month we got like 18" of snow and I forgot to post the pics. ATSU even cancelled school because there was just too much snow. It was crazy. We had to go play in it the next day. Tanner had a blast and Nate definitely got a workout shoveling it all :)
Tanner LOVES to throw snowballs - but who doesn't

I made him his own little hideout

I actually really like shoveling. It makes my arms burn - YEAH :)

What a man! (MY MAN :))
Had to go out and enjoy the storm right....
