It snowed!!!

We were so excited when we saw the forecast for snow today! It actually did snow...and snow and snow for hours! It's crazy because yesterday we had a tornado pass through and today we get snow! Daniel was at the fire station today so the kids and I played together. They built their first snowman!

This is blurry but the only pic I could get of all three of us!

This is our little snowman! About halfway through, Jaiden, who was only wearing socks for gloves couldn't take freezing little fingers anymore...poor thing! So we had to finish him quickly. We're still proud of our little snowman!!

We had so much fun playing in the snow! We don't see much of it around here, ya know;)

Austin, TX

We went to Austin, Tx for Daniel's cousin's funeral....so so sad but it was wonderful to get to spend time with the family. We hadn't seen any of them since our visit to El Paso last March so it had been almost a year!

Papa and Grandma with Jaiden...

Anjali had a blast with her cousin Abigail...they played together so well! Here they are playing dress up...

Nicolette (Daniel's niece) and I were pregnant at the same time with both babies so Jaiden had a little playmate too...Hailey! By the way, sweet Jaiden doesn't look too happy in any of these pics because he was feeling awful. But he still had so much fun playing!

These are the shirts again that I made all the cousins for Christmas and we just happened to bring ours so we tried to get a pic with all the cousins there...

I love this pic of Hailey - so sweet...

Valentine's cookies

First of all, look what my valentine gave me!! Beautiful flowers...everyone loves roses and daisies are my all time fav! He also left little surprises all around the house for me...like Reeses cups! Yum!

Anjali *loves* to help me bake and especially when we're baking cookies! She likes to do it all - measure the ingredients, stir the dough, spread the flour, roll the dough, cut out the shapes and put them on the cookie sheets!

She was so proud of how messy she got! You can't see it too well but she was completely covered in flour!

Her finished masterpiece!

Little Jaiden woke up from his nap just in time to eat a cookie...

We always have so much fun making homemade cookies and the great thing is they have the cookie cutters for every holiday!!

Playing in the yard

The weather had warmed up for a few days so we took advantage of it and played outside for hours! We got a bubble machine recently and the kids love it!

My sweet, sweet little man...he melts my heart just looking at him. I can't give him enough hugs and kisses! He only says a few words (mama, dada, hi, bye, etc) but he communicates very well. He's very good at letting me know what he's trying to say. He loves to laugh and be silly and he adores his sister...

Anjali makes me smile all the time. She is constantly coming over to me and gently pushing my hair back from my face and saying "mama, I love you." How can it get any sweeter? She is so sweet to her baby brother and loves to share her food with him. She thinks it's so funny when he eats it straight from her hand...they will giggle forever together!

Our 2nd Christmas!!

Much to their surprise the kids got a huge box in the mail about mid January. Christmas presents from Grandma and Papa!!! They were sooo excited to open the box and see what was inside.

They both *love* all of their gifts and had so much fun opening them! Thank you so much Grandma and Papa!! We love and miss you!!!

Bedtime Stories

Yesterday Daniel had off so we decided to take Anjali to see a movie! This was only her 2nd time to go...her first being with Mica and Poppi and her cousins recently. We went to see Bedtime Stories. She loved it!

Here we are right before we left...

Mica came over to stay with Jaiden...they always have so much fun with her!

We stopped by the Dollar General and got all of this for the price of ONE at the theater!! I know, we went a little crazy with the snacks!

Daddy and his princess...she sat in his lap for most of the movie! Right towards the end she decided she wanted to sit in her own seat.

Me and my baby girl right after the movie...she lasted most of the movie and then had to go potty so I ran her out knowing it was close to the end and we got back as quick as we could only to see the credits rolling...ha!

Anjali and Daddy playing video games...

showing off our guns:)

We had such a good time and she did great in the movie!
