February & some March

Casen Really wanted to get in Drew's jumper. Drew is cruising right along the furniture.
Drew Loves eating table foods now. This was his first time with Mac and Cheese

Casen loves to play cars at Daddy's sink while I'm getting ready. He rests his head on his arm and drives the little cars all over the sink. Its so funny and cute.



Here is his first piece of art work. Too bad it didn't last. Only in the picture. He took a black sharpie to his clothes skin and the wall. Good thing it came off of the wall.

They look like twins in this picture. I love it! Drew was playing and he climbed into the car and Casen came yelling for me and saying, "Mamma! Da bebe da Vroom Vroom!" So I told Casen to get in there with him so I could take a picture. Love these cute boys!

My youngest sister Jenna had her second baby. Maverick Gaje Winters. He is precious and looks just like Londyn, his sister when she was born.

Drew with a cute hat on and showing off his only 2 teeth.
My friend Natalie and I had a baby shower for our friend Lindsey Crosland. She is such an adorable pregnant girl. We had so much fun giving her gifts for the new baby who should be here in April.

Such a cute one of Casen and Darin.


Our computers are not doing well over here. I'm on the laptop right now and I'm lucky it's letting me work on it. Looks like they need to be taken in to the doctor.

Casen is such a stinker. But a cute stinker if there ever was one. He loves, loves, loves to be outside with or without shoes, he doesn't mind his little feet freezing on the cement sidewalks. He runs right down the sidewalk, and when he gets too far I yell, "K buddy, come back!" to which he turns around looks at me, then turns back and runs away. That's when I have to either book it fast after him, which makes him go faster, or say, "K, do want a time out?" to which he will reply, NO!" then I say, k, well you have to come back or we are going to time out and he will come back. Most of the time that is. One time, I let him out in the back yard, and after letting him out, I went to the bathroom really quick and then outside to check on him (like 45 seconds later) and he was not there. I started to panic, and checked all around the inside and nothing. Then opened up the front door to start a search in the front and there he was playing cars right outside of the front door. Ugh! Talk about heart attack! Our side gate hadn't been shut all the way and he found a way to get out. Let's see. He's eating a little better these days which is good. He loves Drew, and they now share a room. They have done great since day one. Thankfully! I'm working on getting Casen into a twin bed this week or next. Drew could really use more sleeping space than the packnplay. Casen is learning a lot, and it's so fun to see that and read books with him and have him read them or tell us what he see's. He's the loudest screamer, a slapper, hitter, and biter. That's right folks. He bites. I haven't heard of him biting any other friends or cousins, but he bites me and Darin. He scratched Drew the other day on the cheek. Poor guy. For the most part he is a sweet boy, and plays really well, but when he gets really excited or frustrated he will start hitting or biting. He loves nursery, playing with friends, cousins & brother. He loves pickles, baths, playing cars on daddy's bathroom sink, reading books, chasing after brother and making him laugh, getting into everything including sharpie pens and writing on the walls and himself, feeding brother snacks , jumping on furniture, watching "a bugs life show" climbing out of his crib, turning on and off lights and helping in the kitchen. He was sick most of last week and I decided yesterday was the last day with Binky. I cut the tips off. When he asked for them, I got them out and gave them to him and all his said was, "Binky Uh Oh!" and kept saying that a few times. He got mad for a minute and threw them but was fine a little bit later. He has asked for them a few more times after that but I just have to show him them and he knows they are broken. That wasn't so bad. I just hope he stays away from Drew's binky's and doesn't find any other ones that I haven't cut.


Drew is all over the place. he is balancing pretty well standing in place. He is cruising all along the furniture and getting around really fast. It's so funny to watch him crawl fast. he loves to watch Casen, and be right there with him whatever he is doing. Darin got a cute video clip of them playing together tonight in the toy room. It was adorable and funny. Drew is LOVING table food. he can't get enough of mac n cheese or anything i put on the tray in front of him. he will eat anything. I love it. he is growing up way too fast. I took him in for his 9 month well check last week. he is 21 lbs. Those are the only stats I remember but he is in the 50th percentile with everything. He is sick right now. He has what Casen had last week, Bronchialitis. Yuck! He is pretty miserable. It's so sad to see him this way.

Darin is staying really busy at work. He is working harder now than I think I have ever seen him work. He usually works 12 hour days Monday through Friday. We are lucky if we see him at all since he has other activities soon after he gets home from work too. He is excited to be going to the dunes soon. He needs and deserves a getaway with the guys.

I'm super annoyed with the main computer being out. I use that thing for everything! I function better with a computer. I'm not talking about Facebook or blogs. I could live without that stuff, it would be sad with out them, but the glorious Internet answers all of my questions and helps me with everything I need almost. Tells me where to go to get cool stuff and how to save money on groceries etc... I rely on it a little too much. Please tell me you do too!
