Just some things-

I'll take 72 degrees in January, any day.

Except if it means tornado warnings at 1 am.  I don't love that.

 That purple shirt Cate is wearing is a re-purposed maternity shirt of mine.  I really like cutting those things up.  :)   The necklace was a gift from a teenager at our church- she prayed for him faithfully for weeks while he was on a mission trip in Africa, and he brought that back for her.  I love that she wears it. 

 A rare moment of happiness yesterday- Even sickiebaby couldn't be completely grouchy on such a nice afternoon!

 Ty:  "I'm Corbin AND Jarvis."

dribble dribble

"and Kevin."

 A new basketball trend- because it might be sunny in the gym:

 Isaac is still fighting a low fever and sniffles today, but he looks and acts much more normal:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

 

There was a fight on Monday at the Topper game.  We played a.. *ahem* ...rough team.  With 40 seconds left, there was a bench-clearing brawl in the spot we- the kids and I- always sit.  There were minor injuries sustained by a few [important] people we sit near.  So, while I'm not saying I'm glad the kids have been sick, it was a good thing that we didn't make it to that game.  It could've been bad.  It was the first time I've had to sew a uniform that had been ripped apart in a fight...

I am back on the exercise train.  Well, I have been since after Christmas, but I'm serious about it now.  No way am I doing P90x again yet, but JD is working as my personal trainer.  :)  He did it for me 4 years ago, and I'm counting on getting the same results- or better!  The idea that Isaac is our last baby is sort-of freeing.  I feel like I can work hard and keep the results.  I know I don't usually share such personal stuff on here.  Ick.  I just want it out there.  Extra accountability.  I've said it.  I'm doing it.  Look out summer shorts!  (Haha!  Sort of.)



Sickie Boys

 

We've been doing a lot of rocking around here.

Robin

-hangs out at our house a LOT.

Sometimes Batman makes an appearance too:

Cate likes to play too- she wears Batgirl or Supergirl.  Just not this morning when I was taking pictures.  :)

 Ty begs to watch these every.day.: 

 

 At least he isn't wearing dresses anymore.  Ha!

Phone Pictures

I know I haven't been putting as many pictures on the blog lately.  I seem to get that way in January/February every year.  We spend most of our time inside, we're in the thick of basketball season, and I just don't take that many pictures.  Oh well.  Sorry.

 

Here are some shots from my (new!) phone-

 

Halle's snow/ice day:

(we spent most of the day in pjs)

 

-------------------------------------------------------------

 

Cate and I spent time building a Pony Castle this morning:

And then Ty backed into it:

<

At least he tried to help fix it:

While Cate played with the blocks, Ty played "garage" with his motorcycles and legos:

And this little guy just watched and practiced rolling off the play mat:

Yesterday at snack time Ty was asking for flower nuts.  I couldn't figure it out until he yelled, "LIKE YOU PUT ON MY SALAD!" 

Oh.  Sunflower seeds. 

 

At home:

Having preschool time:

They painted "Winter Clothes":

(The idea was from this book:)

Of course, Ty needed a basketball on his next paper:

This was the first time he had written (or painted!) his name all by himself!  Yes, it's backward and the 'y' has an extra line, but I made a big deal out of it.  :)

We had some lunch guests too-

Cars:

And a few ponies:

 

We still miss Halle during the day, but we've gotten back into the rhythm of our routine and the days are passing (TOO) quickly. 

Four Months

-as of Monday!  That's crazy.

Isaac is still our chunky, happy baby.

Check out these thunder thighs:

He grins at everyone. 

Lately he has been squealing a LOT- less babble, more squeal.  Not my favorite.

He is just starting to grab things that are close to him.  Of course everything goes straight to his mouth!

We transferred him into Ty's room after Christmas, and he is doing alright.  He had a few really fussy nights, but it didn't have anything to do with where he was sleeping.  It was just further stumbling through the dark for me.   Ty doesn't even stir when Isaac is noisy.

6 weeks: 

4 months:

Matchy.

 Thanks for the pjs Aunt Saundra and Gran Gran!
