Our Favorite Things

Here at our house we are waiting patiently for spring to come. We've been cooped up inside far too long and my kids can't wait to get outside and have some fun. Here are just some of the fun things we do to pass the time.

London is my little artist(you should see her masterpiece on my wall) and loves to color!! she is getting really good at using her words and asks everyday to color. she will sit there and just scribble for as long as it takes to cover a complete page. The only time she will stop is to get my attention to show me her newest creation.

The kids love to help mom cook. whether we are making sandwiches for lunch or sugar cookies, they have to be involved in the process. We are still working on the cleanup process!

making messes, is another one of Londons favorite things to do.

Hunter Loves to play pretend and everyday we are building something new. It can be anything from a mountain, a castle, a fort and even a spaceship. He cracks me up with all the new adventures he drags me and London into.

'Tis the season

I promised myself that I was going to be a great blogger during this holiday season and give up to date posts. Well here we are, the holidays are over and now I’m trying to catch up and share all the wonderful things we did over the holidays. We had a wonderful time seeing family and friends, making memories, and enjoying this wonderful time of the year. I’m a little sad that the holidays are over, but excited to see what this New Year will bring for our family. here are just a few of my favorite pictures.

Hunter was so excited for Santa to come this year he couldn't wait to see him and tell him what he wanted for Christmas. London on the other hand wanted nothing to do with him she had a complete meltdown when we tried to sit her on Santa's lap the only way she would even get close go Santa is if Dewight was holding her.

We spent Christmas at Grandma and Grandad Lee's house. We were so excited for Christmas morning that neither of us slept and all the adults were up by five just waiting for Hunter and London to wake up. We finally couldn't take it anymore and we woke them up. Hunter couldn't believe Santa had finally come and just stood there for a good five minutes looking at all his presents.

Cute!

Recently London got to model for my sis-in-law's new blog http://www.myuniqueb.blogspot.com/. Sunni crochets these amazing headbands and bows, and they are absolutely adorable. I can't wait to order some for me and my babygirl. Great job Sunni!

Family Pictures

Its that time again for family pictures!!

Hunter is at the perfect age and he loved smiling and posing for the camera.

London had different plans for picture day. I'm amazed that we got pictures of her smiling because she was not a happy camper.

Snow Bunnies

We had our first snow of the year on Monday and the kids were so excited. Hunter woke up and as soon as he realized it was snowing he got really excited and yelled "its Christmastime!" The whole rest of the day he pleaded and begged to go outside and play in the snow. After naptime, I finally gave in bundled them both up and sent them outside. It was hilarious watching them play in the snow! Hunter spent most of the time trying to teach London how to make snow angels, even though she wanted nothing to do with it! I had a blast watching my kids find the simplest joy in 1" of snow and I'm so excited to have many more days of making snow angels, building forts, and drinking yummy hot chocolate afterwards.

Halloween

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays of the year. I love the change in the season, having a good excuse to dress my kids up, and eating Halloween candy all month long. We had a weekend of fun attending trunk or treats and playing with cousins at grandma’s house.

Hunter turns 3!

We had a wonderful time celebrating Hunters B-day. He was so excited to have the day centered on him! He got to make all the decisions even down to his choice of birthday cake (he wanted strawberry!) I let him and London help me make the cake and of course lick the bowl. As I was frosting the cake both Hunter and London were watching me and Hunter kept saying, “London that’s my birthday cake and you have to sing happy birthday to me before you get some.” It was so cute he wanted to make sure she knew that cake was his. For dinner our little family went out for pizza, his choice again, came back had cake and opened presents with grandparents and friends. He was so excited to open presents and every time he ripped into a new one he would say “what is it, what is it” just building the moment up with every present. After everybody was gone and all the cake was eaten, I was putting him to bed and he asked me, “Mom can it be my birthday tomorrow?” I love that little boy so much he is my world and I can’t believe he is already 3. HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUNTER!
