The month of January is the worst!! This January was by far, the worst January we have had for decades as far as the weather. It snowed a ton and was bitterly cold for the ENTIRE month. It was awful. I am so glad it is over! So most of these pictures are of us just being silly because we were cooped up in the house going crazy!
We have to have cute pictures of Hudson on here, because who can really not want to see more of those? He was 6 months and loved sticking his tongue out and playing with it. He still loves it, but started doing it this month.
This is also how I survived January. Tablets saved me A LOT. More than I would like to admit! Hey, you do what you can right?!
This kid finally outgrew his baby bathtub. I don't have to buy another one ever again! It is kindof liberating!
Hudson got REALLY sick with croup and double ear infections. He was miserable for a few days and it broke my heart. He usually is always smiling, so I know he was feeling horrible.
The boys had spirit week at school and this was them dressing up for "nerd" day. I didn't even tell them what to wear they came out wearing this! I cracked up! Preston is wearing James' old glasses with the lenses popped out. Carter recycled his glasses from his Harry Potter costume. So fun! They love dressing up for school!
The boys caught a few BYU basketball games with their Dad.
Preston had a play date with his friend Jackson and they drew these fun silhouettes of themselves.
While cleaning, I somehow noticed something stuck in the fireplace. I took the cover off and found that Claire had shoved two cars into the top of the vent. One was completely warped and this one had the entire inside melted out. I'm so glad I found them before the house burned down! Scary!
Started a new cleaning schedule with my boys (which needs to be revamped again!) where they do a chore everyday besides their room and regular stuff. Preston is learning how to clean the toilet. He actually thought it was fun!
Homemade donuts is our favorite treat to make for family dinners. James made a whole bunch of different flavors this night-one included candied bacon...yummmmmm.
I love coloring with Claire. She is so intense about it and gets her face so into it.
Hudson finally started eating baby food. I hate feeding kids baby food! I've said it before and I will say it again. Such a pain, and it takes forever! This was squash which he wasn't a big fan of. He gags down vegetables and will sometimes do a shudder if it tastes bad, I laugh so hard. He loves anything with bananas and that is sweet.
She is obsessed with getting her picture taken. I have about 100 pictures of her either that she has taken herself when she stole my phone without my knowledge, or when she has begged me for about ten minutes. But isn't she so adorable?
The end of the month we got SOO much snow! It is now finally melted (it only took a month and a half) but we had fun when it first got here. The boys made a little snow cave that Preston is laying in.
We also used the sled that James made about 4 years ago with the 11 year old scouts that has been sitting in our garage. The kids loved it and James got a great workout!
My little Michael Jordan.
For 100s day (when they have been in school for 100 days) they had to make a poster with 100 of something. This was Preston's creation. I think it was a puppy and then he added more than 100 stickers because he wanted to add some more to his face. I laughed so hard!
More tablet time...look at those cheeks. They are just scrumptious! We barely survived January. It was dreary and definitely not my favorite time. I am so grateful that we don't have winter all year, I don't think I would make it!
