Happenings around the House in January

We've been busy around the house.  Here are a few pics from my phone to recap.

Randy has moved a majority of the legos into his office so that Zach doesn't destroy them and so that the boys have a bigger area to play with them.  Zach knows the legos are in there and is constantly trying to sneak in.  If the door is ever open, he will make a run for it before I can catch him.  Several times I've looked for Zach and found him in the office, giggling because he's made it in.  If the door is shut and the boys are in there, he's normally like this waiting to come in.

When he does get to be with the big boys, Zach LOVES driving the train.

Boxing on the Wii has also come in very handy when it's been cold outside.

One night Josh came down and said he needed a snack, however he had to eat it with his sunglasses on.

 Waiting for cookies to come out of the oven!

 One day during rest time, Josh came down and I asked him what he was doing.  He came over to me, looking like this and said, "I'm not tired so that means I'm not taking a nap!"  Ok mister...

 Zach decided he didn't need his shirt or pants, but had to wear his shoes.

Snow in AR!

Over winter break we got a little bit of snow and the boys were ready to go out and play!  Zach had fun in it until he took his gloves off....then it was downhill from there.

What is this stuff?

 These guys played in it for a while.  They had a big snow ball fight, built a snowman, and tried doing tricks jumping over a big snow ball.

Our attempt at a snow man.  That was basically all the snow in our backyard.

 Santa has nothing on Josh's rosy cheeks!

DSLR Flashes

I'm always amused by how the kids react sometimes when the flash is on on the camera.  Sometimes they can handle it like champs and it doesn't bother them.  Other times the results are what we have below.

Oh no, Mom, what are you planning on doing with your camera?

The Flash?  Really Mom, is that necessary?

 Come on Mom, you are killing me!

 Maybe if I cover one eye, it will help.

 If I take my hand off for a second and smile will you stop?

 Ok, I'm smiling...time to stop Mom!

Christmas 2012

Christmas this year was fabulous.  We were all healthy (unlike last year when Randy and I had the worst sinus infections ever!) and happy (except for Zach who was cutting teeth...ugh).  

The fam Christmas morning.

 Josh loved the bows.

 Josh's turn to open a gift.

 Will got shot!

 Handsome dude.

 Pure excitement over getting legos!

 This little guy is so cute.  He LOVES wearing the Madagascar 3 wig and coloring in this chair.

 The boys with the elf.

 These Thor hammers were a BIG hit in our house.  Luckily they are made out of nerf material so they can't be too destructive with them. :)
