January in Pictures

Here is a quick rundown of January.  

Liz watched Norah dancing . Liz is becoming more and more engaged with everyone.  I love it.

I found perfect snowflakes on my car one morning.  Needless to say, Annie was late to school because I had to take pictures.

  More Norah in dress ups.  All day every day.  It has since calmed down.

 I love this picture.  Landon is the best baby wrapper in the family.  I'm so proud.

A lot of performance by this trio.

More maternal love.

Two babies in a crib.

 Liz didn't love it as much as Norah.

 ...and MORE dress ups.

 Norah will spend hours playing in the toy room.  Usually in dress ups.  Of course.

 Fight Club.

 Hilarious.

 Also hilarious.

 SOOO much snow shoveling. Annie is always Landon's little helper.

 BFFs.

 Also more BFFs.

 With the snow comes sledding.

 If you were wondering, Landon and I had the longest sled run of the down.  NBD.

 Beach chairs while sledding.  Brilliant.

 Snow boarding.

 The final result.

 While I was taking engagement photos for Mike and Jenn, this lunatic ran through the frame exclaiming, "I'm Jack Frost!".  Weirdo.

 This little love turned 6 months.

 She's gorgeous.

Beach Partaayyyy!

It is 10 degrees outside.  10.  T-E-N.  It's cold and it's dreary.  And I'm pretty sure Landon's Bakersfield brain can't even handle the days upon days of cold.  Every day he comes home from work amazed that it is still winter.  Needless to say, we needed a break.

And so, today we cranked up the space heater, put on our swimsuits and had a beach party in the basement.  It was awesome.  The kids thought that I was amazing. A complete success in my parenting book.

I made an amazing mango coconut smoothie.  Delicious!

 Who is this kid?

 My little tattooed beach bum.

And these two lounging with their feet next to the space heater.  Who even needs spring?

Happy 143 Days to Liz.  I'm in love.

I was getting her ready for bed last night and, as usual,  I was completely overcome with white-onesie cuteness. Seriously, I am complete sucker for babies in white onesies.  Hands down best baby outfits in the world .

Apology

Around Christmas time I feel like I am always looking back over the last year's pictures for one reason or another.  This year as I did it I was reminded of Norah's ups and downs.  She was REALLY grumpy from April to about October.  Not a pleasant child at all.  Truly a pain to be around.  But she has returned to her sweet, wonderful self and it has been so much fun to get to know her again.  So to all of you that happened to run across her in her "grumpy time", I'm very sorry.  You really should come see her again.

This is a good representation of her grumpy self.

And her grumpy behavior

And proof that she still has some cuteness in her.
