Staying with Grandma Lori and Grandpa Sheldon

While Mommy and Daddy went to New York for a trip Luke and Halle got to stay at Grandma Lori's and Grandpa Sheldon's house for a sleepover for a few nights! They had lots of fun while they were there.

It snowed one day and the kids had fun playing in the snow and building snowmen with Grandpa!

They made a whole snowman family!

Over the next day or two it warmed up a lot and the snow melted, but the biggest snowman was still there. Grandma said Halle really wanted to run outside in her diaper. It was a lot warmer, but still cold. Grandma tried to get her to stop but Halle was insistent on going outside. So Grandma decided she would let her go out in her diaper and figured she would make it a few steps out onto the porch and realize how cold it was and go right back inside. But not Halle. Once she got out there she went running off onto the grass and didn't stop! Grandma said it was so funny, there went a little girl in her diaper out onto the cold, wet lawn! Grandma couldn't resist getting her camera to document it.

Halle's cute profile.

Halle loves Cafe Rio

Halle loves the Cafe Rio dressing. She cracks me up. The dressing is pretty darn spicey and she doesn't bat an eye! Every time we get Cafe Rio and she spots the salad dressing she says "dip! dip!" until we give it to her, and she ends up drinking it like in this picture. Such a funny girl.

Halle & Luke

Luke and Halle are little buddies and partners in crime these days. Halle is getting to the age where they are playing together really well and it's really fun to see. But sometimes they can get to each other. This mainly happens when Luke is coloring or doing blocks or something and Halle just comes up and crashes right through what he is doing. Or, when Luke is trying to eat and Halle climbs up on the table and takes over. The other day Luke was eating lunch and Halle had already finished and was starting to attack Luke’s plate of food and he said, “Mommy, I’m going crazy with this Halle girl!”

Halle is talking in small sentences!

I am amazed at the things Halle is saying. The other day she said, "Call Grandma!"
The other night Cory and Luke were taking a shower and she said, "Lukey shower!"
The other day we were at Costco and we could hear a baby crying and she said, "Baby is crying!"

She is also saying some funny things. Just the way she says Luke's name is pretty hilarious. She says "Lukey" but it sounds like "Wookey". She says it loud and will scream it through the whole house if she needs Luke, "Wookeyyy!"

She has started saying, "Umm, umm," when she is about to say something. Luke does this and it's really funny to hear her do it too.

She loves Barney lately and says, "Barmey! Barmey!" When she wants to watch it. She also still loves Blue's Clues and calls it "Bluesy".

Cutest brother and sister

Luke just leaned over to Halle and said, "Halle, you are the bestest Halle that I've ever seen." 

Luke is such a cute older brother to her and Halle thinks he is the greatest. I love how much they love each other and are best little friends!

March pictures

This was one day when the kids were sick. We were all exhausted! As you can see, Halle is wearing Luke's underwear over her jammies again :)

I signed Luke up for a little class at the community center called "Wee sing." They sing little songs, use props, it's really fun. I thought it would be good for Luke to be around other kids and have the interaction. The first couple classes he was shy and didn't want to leave my side but after a couple classes he was ready to join in and now he really likes it! I thought Halle would be too young to do it (the sign up sheet said for ages 2 and up) but she joined right in and started doing the actions, learning the songs, and everything. So the teacher said even though she's only one and a half I could sign her up. It's so funny watching this little tiny girl with all these older kids dance and do the actions and sing along with the kids, but she catches right on and loves it!

Doing art projects. We do lots of art projects! 

The kids love riding their bikes and cars and things around in our basement!

We went bowling with Aunt Jamie. The kids love going bowling!

At the Children's Museum
