We got Wii!!!!

This isn't the best picture, but I am so excited that we got a wii! I am playing golf and I absolutely love it! They are so much fun. I have been playing as much as possible since we got it on Thursday, and now my arms, back, stomach, and side muscles are killing me. It is such an awesome work out! I LOVE IT!!!!! The best exercise I have ever done in my whole life!

New Family Pictures

I have been begging Deb for a while now to take some new pictures of us as a little family and we
finally did so here they are!

New pics and Gramma Gramma's Birthday Party

We went out to Deb and Stan's the other night and I got a couple of really cute pics of the kids, but I posted the pictures backwards. So the pics at the bottom are the other night and these few at the top are from today at Tyler's Gramma's birthday party.

Tyler, myself, and Jennika

Jennika doesn't like having her picture taken with Ayden

They play trains so well together.

She absolutely LOVES playing trains with Ayden!

Fun TAG about my kids

(Sorry about the pic, she was not in a very good mood)

Name's and their meaning's: Ayden is Gaelic and it means "little fire" that explains a lot huh?
Jennika is American and the website I went to says that her name doesn't have a meaning.

Ages: Ayden is 4 and Jennika is 1

Nicknames: Ayden: Little man, buddy, gooby
Jennika: Sweetie pie, baby girl, Jinky bear, Junky bear

Favorite activities: Ayden: Playing cars, trains, riding bikes, and going for walks
Jennika: Playing outside, following her brother around and making him mad, climbing on
things, and just getting into trouble

Favorite foods: Both of my kids will eat anything that I put in front of them.

Least favorite food: I have never had a problem with either of them not liking something

Favorite music: They are a little young, but Ayden loves this C.D. we have called "I've Got Joy" and Jennika likes blaloomp went the little green frog

Favorite Toys: Ayden loves cars, trains, bikes, trains, cars, cars, trains, get the point? Jennika likes baby dolls and cars and trains and bikes too

Favorite Book: They don't really have favorites

Favorite Item of Clothing: Ayden loves all of his clothes that have "Thomas the Tank Engine" or "Cars" characters on them

What makes them happy? To cheer Ayden up you just have to mention trains and Jennika just needs a good snuggle to be happy

What makes them sad? They both hate it when they don't get their way or I tell them no

Funny words or phrases: I love it when Ayden tells me he went potty on the toilet all by himself and he tells me "Ayden awesome! Go potty on toilet!" Jennika doesn't really talk yet so I can't tell what she says that is funny

I tag Keri, Chelsea, Mariah, and Amber
Have fun bragging about your little ones as much as I did!!

Ayden's first sleepover

Tyler's cousin Wendi and her son Kristofer came and spent a couple of days with us. It was the first time either of them have had a sleepover with someone their own age and not at Gramma's house.

Ayden and Kris in Ayden's bed trying to go to sleep, Ayden is already asleep but as you can see Kris is still wide awake.

He finally smiled.

I love how big his eyes are in this picture, so cute!

Wendi and Kris, he wasn't tired yet so we had to get him out of Ayden's bed and take him upstairs.

I love how they are both looking over the back of something in this picture. Those sure are some cute boys!

Our snowman

So I have been meaning to post these pics for a while now but never got around to it. We built our first snowman as a family a couple weeks ago.

This is the snowman, obviously.

Jennika was not having too much fun, she was sitting in the snow crying and crying. Then we realized that she was being really quiet all of a sudden and we looked over at her and she was falling asleep sitting there in the cold snow. We had quite a good laugh about it.

Ayden sitting on top of the snowman, if you look right here at the bottom of the picture you can see Jennika sitting there crying.

Ayden helping daddy build the snowman.

Ayden trying to get off of the snowman, he didn't really like sitting up there cause it was too cold!
Here are a few pictures of the kids just playing in the snow.
Jennika refused to turn around and look at me, and Ayden has kind of a grumpy look on his face.

She was having so much fun sitting there and squishing the snow in her little fingers. She is so funny.

I think she is getting her first taste of snow in this picture, she didn't quite know what to think.

Ayden thought he could mow the snow away I guess? He just mowed the snow for like an hour.
