January & February

The past 2 months have flown by! I can't believe it's March. Here is some of what we've been up to this winter. This is all pretty old though, it's already time for a new post!

Lots of crafts. Finger paint, glitter glue, stamps, markers, crayons, construction paper, glue sticks, pipe cleaners, pom poms. We do it all. Thanks Grandma Lords for all of the fun stuff!

(Can you tell that it is a coconut tree with letters climbing up it? Chicka chicka boom boom! Jackson drew most of the "letters")

Ty's first haircut. Jordan just trimmed the sides and back. He did a good job and Ty was great about it. I liked it better before though, he looks a lot older now:(

A new addition to the family! We were bored one night so we decided to go to the pet store and buy Jackson his first pet. The boys both love our new fish, Mortimer.

Big news! After months of hardcore studying, Jordan passed his comps exam! Not only did he pass, but he did really well! I'm so proud of him.

We have some friends who are always getting free tickets to fun things going on in Pittsburgh, and lucky for us they keep inviting us to go with them! Thanks guys! In January we went to Pirate Fest and then in February we went to Madagascar Live downtown in the Benedum.

Sledding! I finally bought us a sled and despite the lack of snow this winter it has still gotten plenty of use!

Valentine's Day was pretty exciting for the boys! They got packages from both Grandmas, Valentines from Mom & Dad, got to make a big Valentine for Dad, and had friends over to decorate sugar cookies! It was fun, I wish I had taken more pictures!

I love seeing these two boys interact with each other. They are seriously so cute together. Jackson loves helping with Tyler, loves making him laugh, and is always trying to hug and hold him. He always tells me that his brother "needs him". Tyler loves every bit of attention he gets from his older brother and is pretty much always watching him and trying to grab him.

Oh how I love you two!

Here is Jackson "skiing". Apparently these tennis containers are his ski boots and his baseball helmet doubles as a ski helmet. He goes "skiing" pretty much every day. I'm feeling a little guilty that we didn't take him this year. Next year for sure, in the meantime he will have to continue to make do with his awesome gear.

He loves calling people. Real, unreal, both are fun. The fake calls are usually to Santa, Tanner & Kaden, or his coat that is hanging in the closet. Don't ask why, I have no idea, but apparently his coat is quite the chatter box.

And Tyler just being so darn cute! Oh yes, and his first word was mama! Followed a few weeks later by dada. We both melt when he calls to us.
