Truman is 2!

Today is Truman's 2nd birthday. Last night I made tie dye cupcakes to take to daycare for snacks.

 After I got Truman dressed this morning (he picked out the shirt, he loves this one) I decided take a few pics of him.

He's saying I'm two!

I asked him who's birthday it is, he said my birthday!

 Tonight Ray and Pat brought Daves Pizza over for supper.

Opening presents from grandma and grandpa.

 Grandma Ann and Grandpa Bob stopped by too, and Grandma got a birthday cake kiss from Tru.

Longing for Summer

Quote-able Amelia

Yesterday morning I was in the bedroom and I heard Amelia tell Truman "stop it crazy, baby man!" Yes, not the nicest thing to tell your brother, but hilarious. She got this from The Lorax, one of the current favorite movies in rotation at our house.

We are going on day 6 of being home from the latest snow storms/ blizzard. It's been nice to be home with my kids, even though we are cooped up. Last night Amelia told me she wanted to go to daycare because she missed her friends. I'm ready to get out of the house too. But after Tru and Amelia screaming for me everyday when I dropped them off at daycare, we really needed some time together.

Snow Day Parts 2, 3 and 4

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I was home with the kids all day because of the snowstorm. We ended getting about 15 inches total. It was good to have some time with just me and my kids at home.

Amelia wanted to pick out her own clothes and dress herself. She was trying to wear a sweatshirt as pants.

Eating plain ol' snow with daddy. We made snow ice cream that day, but Travis just wanted to eat some plain.

 I found a recipe on Pinterest for homemade Cheez Its that I've been wanting to make for quite awhile. They turned out pretty great, I'll definitely make them again.
12 oz. grated Cheddar Cheese
1 stick of butter
1 t. salt
1 1/2 c. flour
2 T. Milk
Blend in the food processor until dough begins to come together. Roll out to about 1/8 inch and cut into squares. Bake at 350 until starting to brown at edges, about 15 minutes.

 Today we went out to Ray and Pat's to play in the snow. Travis had to work until noon, so it was just me and the kids in the morning. It was cloudy until after noon. The sun came out and it was a beautiful afternoon with no wind.

 Mom and Dad were watching Wyatt and Lane while Tanner and Jill worked, so I gave Wyatt a spin around on the sled.

Sun bathing.

Very very happy dog.

Aftermath.

Hot Chocolate time.

 Tanner arrived about 4 pm and he and Travis took the 4 wheelers off while the rest of us were inside. After awhile Tanner came in and said Travis was stuck and his had a punctured tire. Ray went out to help them. He started with the green truck and got the 4 wheeler pulled out. Then Tanner bet Travis he could make it through the same drift, and got stuck 6 foot away from where Travis did. They tried to pull in out with the green truck again, but got the truck stuck. So, Tanner walked to the house to get the brown pickup to pull the green truck out. Comedy of errors.

Here they come.
