Spring Break and the week after!

We had a great spring break, the last week of March. We worked on potty training with Andrew. He is getting the potty part down, we are continueing to work on the other! Katie was also very interested and hopefully will be easy this summer!!! On Friday, March 27th, the kids and I went to Twin falls and picked up Josi. She was with us the entire next week. We all had lots of fun while she was here. Brian was gone for 2 days during the week, so it was nice to have someone home with the kids and I. On Thursday, I took a day off and we went and toured TVCC, the college in Ontario, and went to Boise. I treated her to Thai food and her first pair of 4 inch heels!! We had a great time. Brian, the kids and I took her back on Sunday, April 5th, to Twin falls to meet her friends. Every day she went and got the kids from day care around noon. She said her favorite part of the whole week was how excited they would get when she would knock on the door. Both kids had a great time with her, Andrew told her he loved her and would say "OK Josi". Katelyn learned her name and would call her Jo.

Happy Spring!!

Hope everyone has survived the winter! It was an eventful winter for us, we didn't start getting sick until the last few weeks, and it has hit us hard. Katelyn is a full fledged toddler now. She is 19 months going on 13 years! She is quite sassy and has her own ideas about things. She is also quite the talker, a new thing comes out of her mouth everyday. Her big saying right now is "it's mine!". Andrew is good. He had soccer clinic last weekend. He enjoys kicking the ball into the goal and running around. It should be an intersting season! Games start in April.

Winter Time

Katelyn just got over having an ear infection and croup, it was not a very fun week in our house. Andrew had a bit of a cold and runny nose, but so far nothing else. This week is parent teacher conferences, then 3 weeks until Spring Break!! Hopefully Josi is coming out during SB. We are looking forward to it getting nice out as well. Andrew starts soccer in a few weeks, I will let you all know how that goes!

Picture Time

Andrew has been very into making funny faces lately and his picture taken. He love to pretend that he is Diego and Leo from Little Einsteins. Katelyn's hair is finally getting long enough to put "pretties" in. She loves to have them in, and loves to take them out!

Funny stuff

We are all doing well. Katelyn finally started walking! She has been super stubborn about it. We are all very excited,well except for Andrew. She is always getting into her things. She is very strong willed and he is very kind. Things will get better when Andrew figures out he just needs to do what every Kate says! Andrew loves numbers, his favorite book right now is Chicka Chicka 123. We read it almost every night. He can recognize the numbers to 100. It seems to just tire him out!!

Hair Cuts

We all got hair cuts last week. Andrew of course hated his, he only cried when she buzzed him this time though. Katelyn on the other hand loved hers! She thought she was the prettiest princess. She just sat in the chair as still as she could and watched the lady cut her hair. It was so funny. Katelyn is the girliest girl, she loves to wear anything that might make her extra beautiful, hats, glasses, brothers scoobes! I have a feeling she will be pretty vocal about what she wears!

Brian's hair cut was normal and I got a cut and color.

Also, I posted a picture of a dresser that Mary and I (Mostly Mary) refinished over Thanksgiving when they were here.

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year to everyone! Hope your year is going well. We were home for 10 over winter vacation to see everyone. Andrew had a great time and understood the meaning of Christmas- Presents (well the meaning for a 3 year old!). We stayed with Jim and Amy and their kids. The roads were great both to and from MT, but in between it was a nighmare! We are happy to be back where it is not so cold.

Since we have gotten home Katelyn has been pulling herself up more and more and starting to walk, finally! Andrew hates it, she is always getting his stuff. We had a great trip home and it was fun to see everyone. We can't wait to come back this summer.
