Chloe's latest

Chloe had a fun time this last weekend sledding

with Daddy and with her friend Mason. Daddy gets

a workout each time cuz he pulls her up the hill!

Chloe has been saying some things that just crack

us up...here are a few...

*"Mommy, you're gorgeous" (notice this is the first

I listed cuz I won't be hearing that as she gets older!)

*"Daddy, you're amazing!" (Another saying that will

disappear soon!)

*"I don't like God" (Ok, this one is not very cute...)

*"It's ok, things like this just happen sometimes" (After

peeing in her pants--she is potty training right now)

*"I'm going to see Daddy at Pella Corp" (wearing gloves, coat

and shoes and pretending to leave)

*"I'll take my car to school" (As she heard my mom

& I saying that before we know it she'll be in school...she is referring

to her little tikes coupe!!)

*"I want to go to Grandma's today"
*"I don't want to go to nursery. Too many kids there"

Fun for the whole family?!?

"There is no such thing as fun for the whole family"--Jerry Seinfeld

I read this quote today and had to post this video...Do you agree with Jerry?!?!

Heaven

Chloe has a phrase that she uses quite frequently..."And everyone in heaven". I have no idea where she got this phrase and today I decided to ask if she knew where heaven was...her reply? Pella!!! Oh what kids say!!! Looking at these pictures you can see that Pella looks a lot like Narnia...I'm sure hoping that heaven is much warmer than this!!

We're on our 4th day of being at home & inside so

Chloe kept busy playing dress up!!

My Grandpa turns 80!!!

Last week we had a birthday party for my Grandpa who turned 80! It was a fun time as you can tell by the pictures!!! I thought they were pretty funny so I just had to share with all of you!

Caleb is officially a toddler!

Caleb has grown up considerably in the last month.
He has switched to real people food, drinks exclusively
out of a sippy cup, and feeds himself!
He also has started WALKING! He has very little fear!
Chloe was very timid and didn't want to venture out
on her own and then we have this little brave
man!!! Here is a quote that
I recently read that I think is very appropriate:)

"A toddler, according to the dictionary, is one who toddles,
which means 'to walk with short tottering steps.' Regardless
of what the experts or outsiders say, those tiny steps will
plunge you into one of the most exasperating periods of your
adult life."
-Jain Sherrard

Celebrating the New Year in North Dakota

Here are a few pics from our fun in North Dakota. It was great to get to see everyone and the kids did really well on the long drive...hooray! Here is Chloe riding the horse at Evan and Jana's house.

Caleb loved this rocking chair!

Kyle's family...

The grandkids with Grandma Judy and Grandpa

Rog! We didn't get a lot more pics because it was

so cold that our camera quit working!!!

Merry Christmas!

Here are a few pics of our Christmas. We had a good
time and Chloe's new saying is "I LOVE presents!"
and she sure does!!! Caleb had a lot of fun with the
wrapping paper:) We spent time with my family
and now we head to North Dakota to celebrate
with Kyle's family. I'm sure glad we got some new
DVD's for the van!!!
