Lets catch up!

Wow, have we been busy! What a great vacation we had while our friends were here from Florida. Halen and their daughter Bailey went sledding for the first time ever. As a matter of fact, they landed the day we had that huge storm. (2/6) It took them several hours to get to our house. When they finally did, the kids wanted to go sledding right away. So, at 10 pm we ventured out to the hill down the street. The gate was closed, so we parked at the road and walked. It was so much fun! Just us and about four other people. When I put Halen on Carl's lap to go down the hill, he said "Weee" The next day was a different story though. We tried to go back and there was about 200 people out there. (no school that day) We also went downtown for the WinterBlast on Friday. That was fun too. The kids tent and marshmallow roasting was neat. By far, My favorite was the Kahlua & Hot Chocolate trailer. lol......

Well, Halen gives knuckles now. sometimes not so willingly though. He says "knuckles" and gives them to himself more often then he gives them to others. He also looovveess Thomas the train. He calls him choo choo. He now says chug-a chug-a choo choo when he plays with his Thomas toy train I bought him.

He has also discovered a love for basketball. I bought him a net to go along with the 10,000 balls he has. He really likes dunking the ball.

Halen likes to walk around the house in mine and Carl's shoes. He also like to dig into the winter accessories basket for dress up. He will put on hats and gloves along with the shoes and while he's on his way to show me, stop and grab a spatula or spoon. He will check himself out in the mirror and laugh.

My favorite new thing is how he really enjoys throwing his diapers away. He grabs it away from me and runs to the garbage can. He steps on the foot pedal and holds it open while he throws the diaper in. Then, he claps for himself and says "yeah" I love it!!!

I have new words to share.
