FINALLY!!!

Jack was able to FINALLY use his sled!! He LOVED it...granted they only stayed outside for about 10 minutes but he enjoyed every minute. He also liked the idea of wearing "no-pants" (snowpants!)

Jack really didn't get to play in the snow since we didn't have boots. He just enjoyed the rides!

What a pair!!!I thought this pictures was funny...it seems Jack is always holding something while he watches Sesame Street!

I think Jack spends more time in his ball bucket than the balls! He is "hiding" from me...

He's making me some "PINE-apple" soup!

Jack found a REAL nail...he was thrilled!

Earlier in the week we were able to play outside...Jack could spend 30 minutes jumping on and off this ledge.

We celebrated a birthday this week! Jack was so excited to make Daddy a cake. He let NO frosting go to waste!

Happy Birthday Daddy!We took Jack to the ND Heritage Center this weekend. The children's section was closed due to construction but we found a few kid-friendly things...

What kid wouldn't like playing with phones?!?!

And now our little Fernie...she is very smiley! She loves her time with GiGi...

...AND Jack found the chocolate!

Jack is such a helper with Fernie...she had just spit up and Jack was quick to wipe her face!

I'm sad this is blurry but she was putting on a smiling show for me!

Here is Fern sporting her 6 MONTHS pjs!!!Fern loves to cuddle. She is happiest sleeping in someone's arms.

Jack enjoying his sled!

Love is in the air...

Jack really enjoyed his first valentines day...it started early (on the weekend) with gifts from the Nanas and Papas. What little boy wouldn't like paddle ball...

and animals that can be laced and traced?? [Jack loves getting the mail and if we get anything other than an envelop or magazine he is sure it is for him! The other day we got a mailing from H&R Block (in a box) and Jack was determined to open it!]

We surprised Jack with a ball and glove...it's hard to make out the glove but I thought his (blurry) facial expression was cute!

Even Fern got in on the v-day action! Zack bought his little valentine a very sweet card...

And later in the morning GiGi was given a "hart" from Jack and Fern...

Jack so desperately wanted to eat the chocolate, I told him he needed to offer GiGi one first!

GiGi lovin' on Fern.

We were again blessed with warm(er) weather. Anything above 40 is fine to play outside ;) I tell Jack is has be to "nice" outside for us to go out...now each morning he asks "Nice?".

Jack is "fixing" the hole...very serious business.

And making sure everything measures out OK.

Spending time with daddy!

Enjoying the slide.

Jack is getting much better about feeding the animals...it takes him a while to warm up. This was on our way OUT! Better late than never, right?!?

Jack kept that glove pretty close for a while!

I weighed this little pickle this weekend: 11lbs and 4ozs!

Still fighting those naps!

Finally getting to enjoy his v-day treat from his Sunday school teacher.

More brotherly love...

Good thing those swings are made for big people too!

The park we went to this weekend had an ice skating rink. Jack thought it was GREAT!

And of course we can't walk by a "hoop" and not make a few shots!

Just chilling with daddy...she is so tired in this picture.

Cheese!

My sweetie!

Before we left for the zoo Jack packed some hay in his bucket for the horses...

One of our local restaurants serves free ice cream with your meal!
