Afternoon Outdoors!

Today was beautiful! After a delicious lunch of PB&J, the kids and I decided to check up on the horses down the street and feed them some apples! Both Maddox and Piper love the horses and have no fear of them at all. Piper practically put her fingers in the horses mouth! It was very cute!
After feeding and petting the horses we came back and played in the driveway. Maddox tied his car to the wagon and took Piper for a "train" ride. He loves trains and this was very cool for him, we made train noises and everything!

Snow Night!

We decided it was too beautiful to stay in tonight while Robert shoveled the drive. So, we bundled up and played in the snow. It's a perfect winter night out... Fresh snow and no wind, it felt great to be out!

Maddox and Piper are playing on a little slide out front! Piper looks thrilled.

Good times!

Wonderful weekend!

On Thursday the Kirangi family came to stay with us for a few days! We are having a wonderful time with them. They are back from Kenya for a few months and we've loved having them the past few days! Jayden and Piper are of course best buds, not unlike Laura and myself.

Since we can't go to the pool this time of year, we've had bath time!

                                                                  Our Girls!!!

                                          Piper and Jayden played in the bounce house...

              Laura and I painted a canvas AND we got to go out by ourselves to Starbucks!!! Yay!

Robert, Piper, Kerah & Jayden... Piper is quite interested in Kerah's dreds!

Out for a bike ride and walk.

This evening, Piper decided to relax with a little downward dog on the coffee table.

Today it was in the high 50s. So when we got a little break in the rain the kids and I decided to get outside and walk. Maddox rode his balance bike, and he just flies on it! He will be riding a bike by summer.

Piper is just chilling in the stroller... she's a little wind blown, I think!

We stopped at a little bridge to watch some geese. Both kids love bridges and geese. Not sure why, but it's cute.

Snow White and the guy with the belt...

Today we had play group with our friends... The girls dressed up as princesses. It was probably one of the cutest things I've ever seen.

Maddox has been wanting to wear a "door" like daddy. So tonight we finagled a "door" for him, had to wrap it around his little waist twice. But he's loving it!

And we think we have officially put the baby bottles behind us. Robert bought the kids these cool Klean Kanteens. They seem to really like them, so we are hoping this will replace the old baby bottles that they've been so attached to.

Happy little Balls!

Maddox is 2 1/2 now and Piper is pushing 15 months! I can't believe how quickly they grow and change. Maddox is talking like crazy, he is very expressive and creative. He loves playing with loud and noisy toys. He lines up all his little cars and has "races" with Chopper. This morning when I told him he couldn't have a toy he wanted, he looked and me said, "I want Robert."! He loves his daddy! Piper, while happy and bubbly is content to sit back and stay out of trouble. She loves riding in the little train and playing with her toys. She started saying, " whaa dis" recently. I have a feeling she will talking before we know it! We love going for walks to see the horses down the street. They are usually only out on warmer days but we catch them on occasion and Maddox loves it. He has no fear!

Winter Wonderland!

Yesterday afternoon Robert and I decided it was time our kiddos experienced a little snow and sledding! We had a great time sledding down a small hill on the other side of our neighborhood. Then we spent a little time swinging at the park. Both of them seem to enjoy being outdoors, no matter what the weather is!
