Snow Tunnel

I really haven't minded all the snow that we've gotten in the last week, mainly because I rarely ever have to leave the house. I'm so grateful that I get to stay home with my beautiful boys and stay in my pajamas all day if I want to. It wouldn't be possible without Wes slaving away every day, so thanks hun, for all you do.

Anyway, yesterday we were getting a ton of snow, and I needed to go out and shovel the driveway, so Oakley and I headed out while Ty was taking his nap. When I was done shoveling we had a huge mound of snow at the end of the driveway, so I decided to dig a tunnel out of it. I remember when I was young we would always make tunnels and igloos and forts out of the snow and it was so fun, so I wanted Oak to have a fun memory. I think we were successful. I couldn't fit through the tunnel, but he could, if he army crawled.

 

 

 We did let Tyson out for a little walk around the sidewalk and he loved it as well, even if he fell every 5 steps.

Zoo Time

After a trip to the zoo this past week, I've decided that going to the zoo in the winter is quite ideal. You pretty much have the place to yourself, most of the animals and exhibits are inside so staying warm isn't a problem, and the animals are pretty active. Grandpa took me and my two boys and two of their cousins to the zoo on Wednesday and it was a blast. We really only saw three other families the whole time we were there. It was especially fun cause it was the first time that we had seen the new sea lion and bear exhibits. They are amazing and it was fun to let the kids run around next to the huge panes of glass and watch the sea lions swim and do tricks. They had so much fun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My boys

I love my boys so much. They make life so much more fun, even if they push me to my last string every once in a while. It's so fun to see what they like, and to see them get excited about different things. Oakley tried on some football pads at Dick's the other day and told Wes "I don't know what they are, but I like them." I'm sure he'll get his chance to play in some soon.

It has always surprised me how my boys are just ok to sit in the toys at the mall and not put any money in to ride them. I'm such a cheap mom, but why should we pay, when it's just as fun to pretend, plus, some of the cars I can shake myself and they get a good ride out of it. Don't tell anyone though.

 

This little guy just kills me. He is so funny and he is smiling all the time. He talks so much and loves to blab on and on. He saw Oakley running around in his spiderman costume the other day and found it on the floor afterwards. He brought it over to me, so I put it on him. He loved wearing it, even though it was a little too big for him.

Oakley loves the spiderman costume too, especially when his friend LJ comes and they can play spiderman versus power rangers. As you can tell in this picture, Oak was a little sad, cause it's hard to share sometimes, but I made them get in the picture anyway.
