Sledding

I forgot that we went sledding at some point in time, maybe January?  I took Jayden and Madyson and drove towards Huntsville with the Lingwalls, Bates and Gills.  Jayden had a ton of fun and Madyson hated every minute of it.  She was frozen and didn't like sledding at all.  We only stayed for 2 hours which was enough for Madyson and not enough time for Jayden.



Let's hope we are done with snow for awhile!!

It's about time....

I guess after over three months of not updating my blog it's about time.  Not sure how many people actually look at this but for those few that do I guess I will post something.  Not much goes on from Jayden's birthday until you hit Easter.  I know that is sad but what is there to do when it snows or rains all the time.  We have had a couple really nice days outside but when that happens we hurry and play outside and I never have my camera with me.

Payton got his tonsils out the end of January I believe and then we had our first set of stitches on February 20th.  Payton jumped out of his crib onto a dinosaur toy and busted open his chin to his cheek and that required 25+ stitches.  He had a huge hole in his face and the doctor could put his finger inside of it and touch his jaw bone (NASTY).  After 4 hours in the ER and one rough doctor we were done with traumatizing him for the day and were on our way home.





On the topic of Payton he started swim lesson (or survival if you fall in the pool rather) in March and doesn't like to go underwater at all.  He is getting so big and talks so well I forget sometimes that he is only 2 1/2.  He can be a turd, he and Madyson can't play together without fighting it drives me crazy and has stopped napping for me so that doesn't help either!


Madyson just started soccer and plays with Ethan and Chloe on her team.  She has 3 other boys (Keston, Carter and Devin) on her team and they all have so much fun together.  She is so cute playing but isn't very aggressive, although she is good at kicking the ball because she is pigeon toed so that helps.  She is still so tiny she is 4 1/2 and weighs only 29-30 pounds on a good day.  She also learned in January how to write her name, I was so proud!!





Jayden is doing pretty good he is in preschool still at the elementary school and is loving it and can't wait for kindergarten.  He is starting baseball in May and is a little worried about not being good.  He isn't very athletic so it should be interesting to see how he does.  He had to get 2 teeth pulled in March from sucking his thumb which he no longer does!!!!  I couldn't be happier and he also stopped peeing the bed at night!!  Our next goals are tying shoes and riding a bike without training wheels.  Jayden lost his best friend to Wyoming in February and has been sad about it since but we hope to take a road trip in the summer to see Ya-Ya, Tana and Landon.






That's about all that has happened and I hope to have more go on coming up.  We will be having an Easter egg hunt on Friday and Easter on Sunday so that will have a post, and then it should be SUMMER pretty quick!!!!!
