Paige's 1st Tea Party

Record Breaking 12 inches of Snow!!!

After 24 hours of unbelievable snowfall, us Texans are left with a record breaking 12.5 inches of snow and fun for days. With school out it has been so much fun watching the snow fall, playing with family and friends and coming in to get warm with a bowl of warm soup. We were not able to make it New Mexico this year to ski so this was a nice band aide for that wound.

Paige thought Mommy needed a bite of snow too.

The Girls.

The neighborhood kids building a huge snowball.

Pure frustration, slamming the car door shut after getting her car stuck in the
snow.

Paigey Paige

She loves her dolls. She now must have one of her dollies go with her when we leave the house. she will spend hours covering and recovering them with a blanket. She also likes to rock them and pat their backs and the dollies receive lots of kisses. A new thing is that she has to have her dollies tucked in with her at night. Last night she finally tried to feed one of her dolls her snack and milk.

She loves to color and stickers keep her content all through sacrament meeting.

Miss Diva in her car and collecting rocks in her pockets.

Every time you put Paige down for a nap you can hear her playing around for a while until it goes silent. I had to wake her up one time to go and pick Matt up and this is what I found.

Loving the jewelry.

Miss Paige, Miss Paige has such a strong will. We tried for a couple of days to potty train and I just stopped out of frustration. The last couple of days, a couple of times she has just put herself on. So I guess she will just do it by herself. She loves playing games, her favorite is Perfection and she is really good at matching up the pieces. She also loves to pester her brother. All of the sudden she started pushing and hitting Matt at times when she is frustrated. We are still trying to nip that one in the butt and don't know where she picked it up. She will place her finger over her mouth and say shh when she wants him to be quite. She says bad girl to whom ever is not pleasing her at the time (picked it up from Matt). She loves the Wiggles and her favorite movie is Bolt. She likes to pull chairs around in the kitchen to watch and help out.

Matthew

Matthew has really taken to his skateboard and still talks about going to the skate park at Grapevine Mills (he will have to improve a lot before he can step foot in there).

This was a picture of Matthew on his first field trip. They went to the Elm Fork Education Center at UNT.He told me that I need to pack him everything that he needed for his long bus ride and that I need to put extra food for the long trip. I packed his lunch in a gallon zip lock bag because I did not have a brown paper sack and he was concerned that someone would steal his food because they could see what he had and would like it. He was truly excited about this and sad that I couldn't attend because they did not allow siblings to come along. He kept talking about his first bus ride and going into space.

Matthew's first ER trip.I got a call from school saying Matthew had a 103 temperature and that we needed to come and get him. Once we got home he fell asleep on the bathroom floor while waiting to get into CareNow. They checked everything, They swapped him to death, took blood from his arm, chest x-ray, the works. Then the doctor comes in and says that you need to take him to the ER right away because we think his appendix is about to erupt because Matthew was complaining of severe stomach pain. I was freaking out inside, I really did not want my boy to have surgery. We rush to the ER and after about 2 hours they decide that it is a virus and he needs to drink plenty of water and take Tylenol for the fever. Really not cool CareNow. Matthew is still talking about the blood they took from his arm.

Matthew has become quite the reader. He is one of the top readers in his class and is doing really well at school. He had a problem with rhyming and we had to work extra hard on it, but he finally grasped the concept and went from a 0 to 100 in a four day span.

Matthew loves his legos. His new thing is taking apart the lego creations and putting it all back together with the help of the manuals. Hours upon hours of fun. The only downside is when one small piece is missing and searching for the one piece in a container filled with thousands of other legos.

Feeding Horses

Since I was about 7 months pregnant I have not been asked to feed the Langford's horses because they were having their son feed them. When I got the call to feed I was over joyed. It is an amazing way to start the day and end the day. The kids were my big helpers. Each time Paige would run out of the car and greet the horses in the barn. She would giggle every time a horse would sniff at her hair. Matthew is old enough now that he could actually help me with the grain and the hay. What a fun couple of days we had and can't wait to do it again.
