I should have known Maryn was being too quiet

1.30.11

Another snow storm's coming--and it's supposed to be a big one! The store was super-duper crowded...just check out how far back I had to park!

1.29.11

A beautiful day in Tulsa, with a beautiful woman (inside and outside). My mom and I had a great weekend in Tulsa, where I had a conference to attend. The weather was too nice to be inside, though, so we snuck away for lunch and shopping in the afternoon!

1.28.11

I am thankful for sunshine, 50 degree weather, and melting snow!

1.27.11

Getting a little lovin' from Daddy as he walks in the door!

1.26.11

I am thankful that my child willingly eats healthy lunches every day!

Broccoli, red peppers, yellow squash, carrots, milk, grapes, turkey, cheese, whole wheat crackers and a few conversation hearts for fun :)

1.25.11

We are thankful for the fun trinkets Grammy sends in the mail every week. Every Tuesday, like clockwork, each kid (plus Brandon and I) get a letter/card/fun stuff from Grammy. Recently they've been getting these fun "pocket pets." Kohen has an alligator, a frog and the dino he got today. Maryn has a boy baby, a girl baby and a butterfly!

1.24.11

Kohen and his cousin, Grant, have a great time together. Here they were enjoying a little Sponge Bob, which is totally forbidden in our house. But...it was keeping him quiet during my grandma's visitation, so I gave in!

1.23.11

Maryn watching our neighbor "play" in the snow (he was actually plowing his driveway with his tractor but she insisted he was playing!)

**Oh, and you might be able to see, just above her head, where she licked the window. Gee...wonder why we're sick with everything under the sun?!?

1.22.11

One of Maryn's favorite toys---the latch board!

Maryn rocking and reading books with Elmo, Stella, Baby Jesus, Scout, Georgia and Baby Lindsay

And the snow keeps on falling...and falling...and falling. Snow day tomorrow!

Maryn, Endsley and Emmalee having fun at the Grove at Zona Rosa!

1.16.11

Brandon, Kohen and Grandpa, all checking their watches.

1.15.11

Kohen and his cousin, Isabella, celebrating her 4th birthday at Wonderscope!

1.14.11

They've been playing together a lot lately...and we're all loving it!

1.13.11

No better way to unwind at the end of the day than with a warm bath with your best friend :)

1.12.11

Snuggling in for our *THIRD* snow day!

1.11.11

It was a loooong day home with my sweetie today. We are working with her on cleaning up her messes and it's NOT going well!

1.10.11

Meet the newest member of our family. Nebbie the Nebulizer.

We went to Fun Run as a family today. I think this picture says it all!

1.7.11

Enjoying the first of the Girl Scout cookies!

1.6.11

The one Christmas gift I just can't part with. I'm not sure what we're going to do with it, but it just doesn't seem right to put it away or unwrap it.

1.5.11

Unexpected surprises are the best!

1.4.11

Croutons and Jello--it's what's for snack time! (Gross, huh?)

1.3.11

Every picture has a story, right? Any guesses?

Tonight Maryn decided she'd rather mess around than eat her dinner. She kept pushing her chair back with her feet so that she couldn't reach her plate. After the third time, Brandon said, "Maryn, do you need to go sit in your room while the rest of us finish?" Of course, the little punk said, "Yesh." So off she went.

1.2.11

Brandon and I are making the conscious decision to spend more time with Kohen during his "rest" times working on writing his last name, doing math, writing numbers (I didn't realize how poor his number-writing skills were), etc. Kohen LOVES the attention and loves to learn, so it's win-win!

1.1.11

Looks like Maryn's excited about her New Year's resolution to ditch the pacifier ;)
