Let it Snow!



I was finally able to play in the snow! We got 6 inches of snow last week and mommy let me go out and play while it was snowing. My new snow boots worked great and I loved just walking around in the snow! Mommy and I had a mini snowball fight. The snow was really fluffy so it wasn't good for making snowballs or snowmen- I had fun just the same. After we got all the snow it turned really cold! It was -10 one day on the way to school. Mommy and daddy said it was too cold to go out, so I haven't been back out yet. We got a little more snow over the weekend, but today it's finally sunny.


Next weekend daddy is putting new floors in the living room. I hope to be racing my cars in there soon!


Poor Chase has been really sick! The doctor gave him some medicine and he seems to be feeling better. I had to go to the doctor this week too. I went to the ear doctor and he took out one of my tubes. It was a little traumatic at first, but in the end I got a sucker and three stickers so it wasn't too bad.



I hope everyone has a good weekend!

Home Sweet Home




It was so nice to finally stay home this weekend! Other than going to church we stayed home all day Saturday and Sunday. Chase and I finally got to play with all of our toys we got for Christmas. Daddy started the weekend out with 'fun cakes.' Mommy said they were elevated a level to anima-cakes. I loved eating Elmo and Chase loved Cookie Monster. Chase liked it to so much he ate two!


After our fun cakes, daddy made us pizza for lunch. It was so good, I asked for it for dinner last night!


Mommy bought me some new snow boots, so I was hoping we would get some snow this weekend. In the end we got more freezing rain than anything and it washed away most of the little snow we had. Since we couldn't go outside, we watched from the window. We ended up getting some snow last night, but I had to go to school today, so I couldn't go out and play.


Chase is really cruising now and starting to take a few steps between objects. He also waves when you say bye-bye. Daddy took some video of him waving so check it out below. Chase's top two teeth came in over the holidays and now he has two more coming. I'm also working on 2 of my two year molars. Mommy said there are teeth sprouting every where.


Mommy and daddy shared some good news with me over the weekend- we're going to visit Mackenzie in February. I haven't seen her in a long time. I can't wait to see her new house. Aunt Cheryl has already planned a lot of fun stuff for us to do while we are there, so it should be a lot of fun. I heard it's a long drive, so I hope mommy and daddy remember the movies!

Have a good week- stay warm!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

What a big party the last two weeks have been! Mommy and daddy surprised us and took the last few weeks off. Chase and I had a lot of fun having them home. Mommy had to go to work a few days, but that meant we got to watch the Buckeyes play basketball!



On Christmas Eve, I made cookies for Santa. After we got home from church, I left cookies and milk out for him, along with some carrots for Rudolph. Chase and I could hardly wait to open presents! On Christmas morning, I couldn't believe Santa brought us toys. I sure did get a lot of Thomas trains and cars. After we played with our toys and took naps, we went to Aunt Ann's house for Christmas with Grandma's family. I shared my trains with Mya and Uncle Jack helped me open presents. GG must have been really good, because she had the most presents!



After leaving Aunt Ann's house we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house where there were..........more presents! I had fun playing with Uncle Jack and Uncle Seth and we even got to watch my new doggies movie. Chase and I both slept in the next day. All of that celebrating is hard on little boys.


The next few days we got to play with all of our toys, then on Sunday we went to Aunt Bessie's house where we played with my cousin Anden and got........ more presents! I had no idea Christmas was this fun. Aunt Bessie got us rock guitars. Chase and I both love to play them and dance to the music- I even have some new dance moves. I had fun reading with Aunt Bessie and 'playing' with their dog Nettie! She didn't want to party too much. I don't know why- I kept trying to give her treats.


On New Year's Eve, mommy had to go to work, but daddy took us to mommy's office so we could watch the Buckeyes. Will even came to play with us. We saw Brutus and Scooby Doo! After mommy was done, we went out to eat and in honor of the holiday, I was allowed to get a chocolate milkshake! Boy was it good! On New Year's Day, Grandma and Grandpa came over to visit and see our Christmas Tree and what we got for Christmas. They even let me watch the movie Cars in the middle of football.


On Friday we got in the car again and drove to Cleveland. It's a good thing Aunt Sarah made me a new blanket, b/c I've done a lot of sleeping in the car over the past week. That night we had Christmas with Grandma and Papa. Chase and I got a big train and we each got a rocking horse! Chase really liked the Chicken Dance Elmo. The next day we had Christmas with Uncle Ryan, Aunt Liza, Austin & Paige and more of daddy'd family. Uncle Danny even brought presents over. I LOVE the basketball hoop he bought us. I take it with me everywhere. Daddy could hardly see out the window to drive us home, but we made it.


Thank you everyone for such a wonderful holiday! I sure did have fun! I was sad to see the Christmas tree come down, but I am glad to be able to stay home for awhile. Mommy and daddy put all of our toys away yesterday, so I guess our vacation is over............
