Let it snow!

We finally got enough snow to bundle the kids up for the first time to go out and "play." It took us longer to get ready to go, than to actually play. :) Landon wasn't quite sure what to do with the snow and he hated the mittens! He did like his ride on the "sled," if that's what you want to call the piece of plastic we have. I think the boys spent more time in the snow, than on the sled! Emerson just went out to watch and she seemed to enjoy being outside.
Happy Holidays everybody!

Thanksgiving to Alicia Day and all the days inbetween

I've got about a million excuses for not blogging in a month, but we won't go through those now!
Thanksgiving was a huge blessing with Steven and Kristina coming home for a few days. It went way too quickly, but good news that they'll be home soon again for Christmas break for 2 weeks! YEAH!!
Emerson has done the most changing in the last month. She's gone from mostly stationary to a mover! She wiggles and rolls all over to get to what she wants. For the most part she's happy playing on the floor and watching her big brother. I don't want to jinx it, but she's also slept ALL night for 2 nights in a row! That might not sound like much, but it's huge when you've been up every night for about 14 months in a row! :) She's also enjoying her veggies (well not really :)). She likes sweet potatoes a lot, but not really green beans or squash! We'll keep trying. She had her 6 month check up and weighs 16.4 lbs (50th %) and is 27 in. (90th %). So she's growing well. I really thought she'd weigh more because she's so chubby! :)
Landon is doing great as well. He had his first big crash last night, where his sippy cup met the linoleum which then met his top lip and sliced it open. He bled for quite awhile, but has been fine since. He's quite the trooper! He's walking around and into everything. Amazingly, he's left the Christmas tree alone, but he absolutely LOVES the lights! :) It's so cute. He points and gives a huge smile when he sees the tree! He also got his first haircut. So he doesn't have a mullet any longer in the back! It was quite difficult to cut his hair since he had no interest in sitting still, but I think we did pretty well.
Emerson also had a visit from Parker Smith who is exactly 1 month younger than her. He's much more active and I think about the same size. She absolutely LOVES him too. See below!! :)
And the last thing I'll post about in this already too long post is Alicia Day. What is that you may ask? Well it's an awesome surprise day where your two greatest friends take you away, treat you to lunch, and spend the afternoon painting pottery with you. AND buy you gifts to tell you how special you are. I think everyone should have a day and two friends like that. Thanks Jessicas! Love you both so much. Thanks for the great day!!
