70 degrees

Today was a beautiful day in January.  The temps reached 70 degrees here in KC so we took advantage of the nice weather and enjoyed some time at the park after school.

Our weekend

Games

Mommy crafting time

Sleepy girl

Our own private rock concert and let me tell you- she was rocking it!

Basketball

Our Eagles have only lost 2 games.  They are having a great season!  I have really enjoyed watching the boys play basketball. 

100 days

Today was the 100th day of school.  They have so much fun on this day.  Hayden's class even had shirts! (and now that I post this picture of him I realize he looks like a dweeb- but its the only one I took!)

We decided to celebrate the 100th day with ice cream after school.  The boys got oreo concretes with gummy worms! It's nice to spend some time with just my boys every now and then.

Rylee

I got this text from my sister last week.  "Rylee says this is how Missy and Jerry do it, they carry one and have the other one in their arms"

I love kids.  This text made me smile. She is right, when Peyton was in the infant seat I would often hold my infant seat on my arm and have Kate on my other hip.  Its amazing how heavy those girls are for being so little.  And who would have thought that anyone would notice, but Ry did.  The more I think about it I realize what a good reminder this is- kids are always watching!

Game night

Our schedule these last few months has been crazy.  We have something on the calendar almost every night of the week.  Mondays are our only free tonight.  Jerry ended up not working today due to the mild weather (this winter has been great for me, however not so great for my husband who works in heating!) But we took advantage of our night at home together as a family and enjoyed dessert and games.

Playoffs

Its that time of year again.  Our whole family loves football so the NFL playoffs  are a highlight at our house.  It is even more exciting when one of "our" teams is in.  Hayden became a Giants fan about 3 yrs ago and has stayed true to his team.  Jack is more of a Bears fan, but when you have a hand me down jersey that brother out grew you might as well wear it! Today they are playing for a trip to the superbowl and we are ready.  Of course the game doesn't start for another 4 hours but the boys wanted to have an inside picnic on their Giants blanket for lunch anyways!
