SO much to report...

This is Livy's new face she always pulls. Jaedon had a stage as well around this age, where he kind of pulled the same face. "Silly Livy".



When it rains, it rains out here. Jaedon loves to sit outside when it is raining and watch the lightning and listen to the thunder. But occasionally he likes to take a run in it. It did take just a little encouragement from Dad, but after that we couldn't get him to come in.

I LOVE RUNNING IN THE RAIN!!

Oh, boy... So I hit up some more garage sales this morning, and did I find some STEALS!! I got Livy a little dress up box, and of course Jaedon absolutely loved that! ;)

I seriously worry about this kid sometimes.
Superman!!
Spider Man, Spider Man...Gotta love 2 costumes just for 1 dollar.

So, I have to tell you a little bit of a background to this next clip. Livy has been making some leaps and bounds in standing by herself. She is such a determined little girl. But while taking this clip of trying to show her standing by herself, she actually decided that she would take a try at walking! Who knew!!

So, what do you do all day...?

We build a tower of blocks...,

and then knock them down!

And think it is pretty dang funny!

We love visitors...

This past weekend my older brother Nate and his family came to visit; Rachel (his wife), and Kace and Tydon (his little guys). They came in late Wednesday night, and then left Sunday morning. It was a short trip, but we are sure glad that they came to visit us!!! Here are just a few of the places we hit up:

To start it off we hit up Chocolate World...every woman's best friend!


We had to go to The Bass Pro Shop for Nate...and the kids too I guess.


And of course Hershey Park!!

Nate won this at the Milk Can toss. I was quite impressed, I think he got it like on the 2nd or 3rd toss. Rachel was very happy that Nate won her something, and I think the best part though, was when Tydon, the littlest one, went over and just had a huge grin and laid his head down on it.
Lancaster, PA to visit the Market and see the Amish...and of course hit up the Outlets!! :)

Down time was spent back at the apartment, but of course there was plenty of playing and mischief occurring there.

And this is my Little Buddy. He always wanted me to hold him and would just come running with a huge grin and arms up in the air to pick him up.

We had an awesome time, and enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks guys for coming to visit. And we will see you shortly. :)

Christmas ALL year round!

Any of you that really know Jon, know that Christmas is his FAVORITE holiday. Then once Christmas is over he slips into a deep depression for the rest of the year. Well, with Jaedon around we celebrate it ALL year round!! Now that Jaedon is getting a little older, I think Jon's excitement during the Christmas season has worn off on Jaedon. Jaedon's favorite movies are The Grinch that stole Christmas (that is the ULTIMATE favorite), Polar Express (that one is up there too), Santa Clause, last year it was the Wiggles Christmas, and then just today he wanted to watch The Christmas Story (which in my opinion, if you haven't watched this during the Christmas season, than it just isn't Christmas).Last week we were driving in the car and he really wanted to listen to Jingle Bells. So being the nice mom that I am, I put it on and we have a listen. But he is not satisfied with just listening to it once, we have to listen to it over and over and over again. The whole 30 minute drive there and back!! Like father, like son, I guess!

After do's...

Now that Livy's hair is getting long enough, and getting into her eyes, I have been either pulling it over with a barrette, or pulling it up. On Sunday, I did it in 2 little piggies. And when I took the elastics out this is the hair do which occurred...

Then yesterday, I just pulled it up in one little pony tail. We went swimming for FHE and so when I took the elastic out it was still kind of wet, but stayed in place like the elastic was still there.But it soon turned into a masterpiece...

I think he's seen too much...

And this is about what Livy looks like now-a-days when she eats...

food every where. (I don't think the picture does it justice, but I think you get the idea)
