Grandma's House

On Saturday Chad and I went to Pocatello. Chad was meeting up with some friends to take them to learn how to shoot. Paxton, Tessa, and I went over to my moms house to play and go shopping. My mom has a set of tinker toys and so Paxton and I were building stuff out of them. This picture is of something that I created out of it for Paxton. Paxton went and got her dogs ball and started putting in the hoop. We also went shopping at a second hand childs store down in Pocatello and I go him this really cool cash registure. He had so much fun that day.

Four Months Old

Well today we went to the doctors for Tessa's four month appointment. Poor little thing had to get five different shots. Come to find out they no longer give them a combo shot. I am glad to say that she is growing like a weed. She now weighs 12lbs 13oz, is 23 inches long. She is doing really great. She seems to all ways be hungry so we started the rice cereal in the evenings just a couple of days ago and she is loving it. Paxton is also doing greart and is loving being a big brother.

Sledding Fun

We had tons of fun Saturday with a group of friends sledding in Idaho Falls. It was Paxtons first time and he loved it. My mom came with us to be able to watch Tessa for me because it was to cold outside for her. Thanks mom. We are hoping that we get some more snow here in Blackfoot because there is a really great sledding hill here also, but unfortanently it wasn't very good snow here over the weekend. We hope that if we get some more snow we will be able to take Paxton back out.

Happy Valentines Day

Chad and I are going to be dropping the kids off with my mom so that we can go down to Lava Hot Springs and sit in the hot pools. Mom is due for some adult time not that I don't love my two wonderful kids dearly. This morning I gave Paxton and Tessa thier Valentine pets. We got one for Paxton last year so I thought it would be a nice tradition to get the a valentines pet every year. I hope that you all have a great Valentine's Day.

What Fun

On Friday Paxton was wanting to go out side and play really bad. I told Paxton that he had to wait until daddy got home to be able to go out and play. He was so excited when daddy got home. They went out side and played for about 30 minutes while I made dinner. They had so much fun. Daddy was teaching Paxton how to throw a stick and make it stand up in the snow.

Tessa loves to sit up and look around so much but is not able to do so on her own so on saturday we went up to Idaho Falls to go to Wal-mart and purchased a Bumbo chair. She really loves sitting in it.

WOW!!!

We have been getting tons of snow and wind here. It has been snowing off and on here ever since December. This picture is of a car that is parked across the street from my house and has not moved ever since it snowed. It has been really cold and wind here also so Paxton hasn't been able to go out and play in the snow to much this year. I am hoping that in the next couple of weekend we will be able to take Paxton sleding with a few of our friends. We are enjoying the weather as much as we can because we need the moister.

First time

Hi this is my first time doing a blog. I am always reading my sisters and just love it. I have been thinking a lot about doing one so that all the family can keep up on our lives. Last night Chad and Paxton were playing with their toy guns shooting bad guys and daddy made this cool fort for them to hide behind. Tessa is growing like a weed and will be four months on the 17th. Chad and I are doing good. We are just loving the life that we have together and enjoy our little family.
