It's a New Year....Happy 2013!!!

January 2013

When we got back from Utah, we decided it was time to get Maverick's first haircut. He was a champ, super wiggly, but did not fuss! 

 Lanie's friends, Sage and Sydney, came to play since their mom had just had a baby. They love Shawn! Who wouldn't? I mean, with story time as awesome as this!!!

Watch out Paul Blart, this Patrol officer is a high inforcer!

We forgot our stroller when we went to the mall to do Christmas returns. Renting the mall stroller was well worth the $5 of entertainment we got out of this boy. He's a true driving natural.

 I still laugh just looking at these pictures. Shawn got Lanie dressed in leggings, white shorts, and her tall Go-Go Boots. Interesting combination that left Lanie looking like a 'Lady of the Night.'

Our cute Bug didn't know, all she wanted was to walk her own stroller with baby over to the gym. She is becoming such a big girl, so independent, and so smart!

 This little man brings so much joy to our days. I love little boys in overalls, and I found these adorable ones at the second-hand store for $1. He is probably has grown out of them by now (the boy is growing like a weed), but it was worth the dollar, just for the photo shoot!

This chica loves the snow!  Really she just loves to play outside, which we haven't done a lot of this winter.  When it snows though, she brings me her snow clothes and asks to play outside. She likes to go out on the deck and use her sand bucket and shovel. We're pretty sure that Lanie has no sense of temperature. She is NEVER cold!

One day, Lanie wanted to play outside. So I let her out on the deck. The green saucer sled was full of ice. She dumped it out and was startled. I thought, why not give her something to do. She is always wanting to pound things with the hammer and constantly has me telling her "NO." So, I gave her the hammer and let her go to town. She had a ball!!!

"Church Day"

Lanie gets lunch in the car on the way to church and usually falls asleep now that we have 1-4 pm church. She never skips a beat of nursery though, she love love loves nursery. Maverick was a little sick this day (hence the rosie cheeks). He looks a lot worse than it was (we would not have brought him to church otherwise). 

FINGER FOODS

Mav has become our little eater. We gave him blueberries to feed himself and he made a way funny sour face. Unfortunately I missed capturing that, but in the end, he really liked the blueberries. And even more, loves the freedom of feeding himself.

Bruins Hockey Game

Shawn's company took us to a Bruins game. It was fun just to be there. Hockey is not our favorite sport to watch, but hockey fans are quite entertaining.

This is how daddy time goes for Maverick!!!

AUTISM AWARENESS

For Family Night one night, we put together some Valentine's to send to Utah Legislatures for Autism Awareness. We have some friends whose children have autism, and requested an effort and voice for Autism Awareness. We were happy to help.
