Frog of the Week- Taylor

Taylor is excited to be Frog of the Week in her class this week! She put together this All About Me book with minimal supervision :) picked out the pictures and everything.

She gets to read it every day to her classmates and they sing to her a special Frog of the Week song. Then, she gets to bring a special treat on Friday! She was very excited about it and very happy to go to school every day this week :)

A walking machine!

Swimming at the YMCA

Taylor's school kids and family could get into the YMCA this week for $1 ea so we took advantage of it twice and had a lot of fun!  It's really nice, too bad it'd be super expensive to actually join! They do have family nights a lot of Saturdays so think we'll be going back again soon.

The second time I took the kids to play at the indoor park for awhile first and Daddy worked late so we did a quick swim, shallow pool and the kids did great so I wasn't worried at all taking them myself. They are little fishies.

Hailey is such a clown :)

Taylor's friend Sawyer was there too so they had lots of fun playing, swimming underwater, diving for toys, etc....

Tried to get Taylor to let me take a nice picture of her this morning but this is the best I got...  :)

yes, we have more than one clown in our family :) but that's ok. We love these clowns.. they keep things real :)

and this little fella is a walking maniac!

he is getting pretty steady!

Getting the hang of this walking thing...

I turned around and Aiden was walking all the way across the living room from the big toy box and was at this yellow chair in the middle of the room.. of course I didn't have that on camera or a camera even close by! I need to just leave one on at all times to catch this guy! lol. But, he did cooperate for a few seconds and let me capture this short clip this morning :)

A few steps!

Aiden has been walking all day.. this was all he'd cooperate for the camera though. One week shy of 10 months old :)

January's flying by...

Hope you all are having a good January, this month is flying by again it seems!  Ben's work has been picking up, Taylor's enjoying school, and Hailey and Aiden and the daycare kids are keeping me on my toes as always! Aiden is so dangerously close to walking it's ridiculous! Last night he was walking 2-3 steps from the table to the foot rest to the couch and around in circles... tried to video a little bit but not letting me load it right now! will try again later. Here are some things we've been up to...

Hailey adopted Nikki as her "BFF" for the day :)

Aiden loves his pancakes

I found this picture on my camera when I left Daddy home with the kids and went to the store the other day.... ? lol

Aiden got his third haircut this weekend.. it was getting pretty crazy!

there's the pile of hair we cut off!

and there's the cute little boy with his new haircut :)

Hailey and Aiden clowning around as usual :)

good friends!

That's all for now, take care!

First Sledding 2012

A sweet little boy cheering on the Packers, unfortunately they lost and are done for the season now :-/

We got enough snow last week to do a little sledding this weekend

Aiden even got to go and he liked it!

The hill had just enough snow to enjoy it a bit

Daddy & Taylor going off the jump.. and broke the new sled, lol. whoops.

Aiden has his Brewer sweatshirt on here... since the Packers are done we are ready for baseball to start! :)

Goofy naked baby in the high chair :) He gets silly when he's naked!
