4th week of January

These two silly kids have matching pony tails on the top of their head.  Maxwell would have his hair in a pony tail all the time if he could.

They climbed into Emmalyn's bed to make her happy

We had to make "snow boots" for Kindermusik so we decorated some empty wipes bags with snowflake stickers, glitter glue (that didn't dry in time because we did it just a couple hours before Kindermusik - whoops)

Showing off those teeth that are getting so big!

We went to a pet store to play with the puppies.  This is how interested Maxwell was in the puppy.  At one point he picked up the binder and preferred reading it to paying attention to the puppy.  Emmalyn was very excited about the puppy.

We finally got him to touch the puppy

Fun at the park getting in some sunshine

How cute is this girl?!!?

She loves playing with her activity table.

Skyping with Grandma Donna

Emmalyn wanted to just talk to daddy. 

Video - Emmalyn giggles sure make me happy

Sleeping beauty - 

We are in a good place with her sleeping habits!  She went down with no crying for one of her naps and then did it again at bedtime!  It's now after midnight and she hasn't fussed once.  It's amazing!  I think she's got it down. :)  We are able to lay her down awake, but tired, and she falls asleep on her own.

Thanks Aunt Tawny for the BYU gear!

I was at work late one night and so I wasn't able to put Maxwell to bed.  I facetimed with him and he was so sad that I wasn't there.  :(  It was awful. 

BYU vs. Univ of Utah

Uncle Alex and Aunt Tawny sent Max some cute toys and then 2 hats for Christmas.  One is this darling BYU hat and then there was a U of U hat.  (Poor, crazy Alex trying to push U of U stuff into this house!)  So we had Max try on both of the hats.  Just like his Momma, Max is a BYU fan.  :)  I can't wait to take him to his first BYU football game.

 

Video - Max wasn't very happy for very long about wearing the U of U hat.  He didn't react this way when the BYU hat was on.  Yeah, son!

We made our first green smoothies in the Vitamix.  We tried two recipes.  One had spinach in it and the other had broccoli and cucumber (they both had other fruits in it as well).  They were good and a great way to get some veggies in!
