January Just Zoomed On By!

I've been slacking lately!  We are so caught up in our day-to-day fun and hunkering down against the snow and rain that I have completely forgotten about keeping the blog up-to-date!

As usual, we have had our fair share of playdates, library visits, and playtime.  A favorite right now is Lego's and coloring.  Kylie also loves to dress up as a princess! She creates her own crowns and everything!

Also, in the past two weeks, Aunt Chantel and Uncle McKay came back from Taiwan and decided to move down to St. George!  So we have had them over a few times for dinner and games and even attempted a very cold and blustery day at a park.

Kylie and Hayden are always asking when they are going to come over again and can't get enough of them!  They are fun to have over!

Another favorite way to pass the day is the ever-entertaining Snapchat filter, which even Hayden is not afraid of anymore!

Kylie's next tooth is SO CLOSE to coming out, and she's already having troubles with saying 'f' words because of the one she already lost.  She loves school and loves writing sentences at home.

Hayden loves beating up the cat and goes to time out every ten minutes because of it (not really... but some days it feels like it!).  He loves playing Batman or Spiderman and talking to whoever is on the phone (it doesn't matter who it is).

February is already gearing up to be a busy month, so hopefully I can stay on task and get the blog out in a more timely manner!

Winter Fun

Not much has happened this week.  Normal, normal stuff.  Library, walks, playing with friends, art projects, and shelf building.

Some fun things that happened: had a sleepover at Brandon's house for the first time.  Apparently it went very well and they kids were super happy when I came to pick them up on Saturday.  Always happy to hear that they enjoy their time with their daddy.

Today, Sunday, Hayden was still fighting going to his Sunbeam class.  I left him in tears because I had to teach my own class, but everything turned out ok thankfully.  Also I am no longer Kylie's teacher.  (Which is actually a good thing haha).  Things got shuffled around and now I teach the 7/8 year olds!  They are a fun class.  The best part is when we all came in to sharing time and I see Kylie sitting with Hayden on her lap and she is totally taking care of him.  It was the cutest!!  Then, during singing time Kylie finally pulled out her tooth!  That thing has been begging to come out for the last week.  Now she is super excited for the Tooth Fairy to come tonight!

Let it Snow

After our fun Christmas trip it is nice to be back home... if only so we can keep to our sleeping schedule!  New Year's week was spent cleaning out the old toys to make room for the new toys and catching up with our friends.

We also got some snow down here this past week!  It started off as a rain/hail storm, though, so under our dusting of snow was a lot of ice.  But that didn't stop Kylie and Hayden from eating it!  Up in Cedar City they got way more snow so Brandon took them sledding last Saturday.

There were also lots of baths this week to warm up from the cold weather!

On January first Hayden officially became a Sunbeam!  And he officially does not like it!  He's been struggling the past year going to Nursery, so I knew that Primary would be even harder to convice him to go to.  It didn't help that I had to teach that day... my new class: Kylie's class!  So Hayden came with us and lets just say that the two of them in class together is not a good combination.  So the next week I had to teach half of the class (because of circumstances), and then the last half I went and sat with Hayden in his Sunbeam class.  He ate a few pretzels and got him dancing by the end, but in sharing time he was on my lap again.  Sigh... this is going to be a long transition!  He did just barely turn three, though, so I can't be too surprised by his behavior.
