Just Lounging...


The dynamic duo have been begging to share a blanket lately on the couch while watching a movie. Surprisingly, they share quite nicely.

Late Valentine's Post

We spent Valentine's Day with the Gerschutz family. We had a wonderful time visiting and playing... thanks for having us! We decorated cookies...Cole's masterpiece!

Heidi and cheesy Andy enjoying their meal.

This picture is just priceless...Heidi and Andy used their fingers to decorate their cookies. If you look really carefully they are both concentrating so hard that their tongues are hanging out!


Cole and Clara in progress...now Cole thinks we should decorate and sprinkle cookies at home. Easter baking could be interesting this year!

On The Way to the Party!

Not everyone can pull off this upside down glasses look!

Three happy campers heading to church!


Parties

During our party celebrations, G-ma Meyer decided she wanted a picture with all of her grandkids. Mommy was very impressed with this picture considering Cole is the oldest at 5 years, then comes Heidi, Andy, and Jesse (all at 2 yrs.), Jack (8 mo.), and baby Samantha.


This was too priceless, what do you suppose they are all thinking?

We celebrated Cousin Jesse's birthday this weekend. He turned the "Big 2" ten days after Heidi and Andy's birthday. He was very into unwrapping gifts. He made quick time of doing his business then he broke into the good toys!

Jesse waited very patiently to blow out his candles. He had the most serious expression on his face while we sang to him!

Heidi was being "Little Miss Social" this weekend. She let Uncle Brandon visit with her.

She even posed with Aunt Natalie. Mommy and Daddy really like when Heidi likes people other than them!


Cousin Samantha was also baptized this weekend. Here is the happy family!

Another Snowman




Cole and Daddy worked on making a snowman in front of G-ma & Papa McCool's house. They followed the snowman up with some sledding and then a snowball fight. After being outside two hours, Cole came in to tell me how Daddy and he went "snow surfing" down the hill, too. Daddy claims that he didn't know that Cole was watching when Daddy tried it... duh... an observant 5 year old doesn't miss something like that! Now that is all Cole can talk about... who do you suppose will be next, Andy?

Miss Hollywood



In the excitement of the evening, Miss Heidi used her potty for the first time! She has been willing to sit on it in the evening, but tonight she actually did her deed in the potty! We all cheered for her and by the look on her face, she now thinks we are all crazy... oh well, we will take any baby step possible in order to get two children out of diapers! Hooray for Heidi! You wonder about Andy? We had to force him to sit on the potty....aka....he believes that his parents are torturing him! Nothing is every easy with Andy!
