Achoo!!

Payton's new party trick!

Paper Shredder

We get the weekly Petersburg newspaper and it used to be only Erik and I that enjoyed receiving it in the mail! Now apparently Payton and Cedar enjoy it too!


"Oh! Hi Mom! You were done with the paper, right?"



They also both love Kleenex! I have to hide the box from the baby AND the dog!

Daddy's helper.

Erik had an extra set of helping hands loading the dishwasher the other night.

Snow day!

Today we took Payton sledding with his best friend Dane. I think they had fun. We spent most of the time pushing Payton in the dog sled (seeing how our dogs are too lazy to pull!)


Payton did enjoy (or at least didn't cry) going down the hill with Mom and Dad.



Afterward we drove downtown so Erik could check the tugs. Payton fell asleep 5 minutes after we left the sledding hill and didn't wake up until we got home 1.5 hours later. He even slept throughout the grocery store!

A few more of Payton's favorite things!

So Erik and Payton have invented a game. Erik lays on the couch and Payton pushes him off, then bails off after him. They always have a ball :)

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!

We have gotten SO much snow over the past few weeks!! It's also been VERY cold. One day it stayed in the negative digits all day (at our house). I'm just thankful that it's not raining! And for the snow-blower we received for Christmas three years ago :)

Here's our back yard/porch, blanketed in the white stuff!


The bird feeder must have about 14" on it!

I thought the tree looked kinda cool covered in snow. Just don't bump it when you walk by.... :)

Splish Splash!

Payton LOVES his nightly tubby. His favorite bath toy is a washcloth. Sometimes I wonder why I bother buying toys...he prefers the boxes :)




This picture cracks me up! I had taken his wash cloth so he'd look at the camera!
