Snow Day!

What a fun day it was last week when it snowed. We didn't think it would actually happen but it did! We are all so excited when after the church the soft white snow replaced the sleet! And even more excited when we remembered that James' dad had given us the sled that was James' when he was a little boy... off to the school we went to slide down the big hill! James and all 3 boys (yes, even Jack!) enjoyed going down. It didn't last too long though because we weren't all dressed quite warm enough. So we hurried home for some delicious hot cocoa that Mrs. Cook had given us (her own recipe) for Christmas. What a great day!

Broken Bow Trip

James and I decided that before he goes back to work (which may be next week!) we should go on a little trip. Once he starts back to work, he won't have any time off again until baby Luke arrives. Oh! I can't remember if I did a previous blog about this or not but baby #4 is a boy and will be called Luke Ryan! Our family will be complete in May!... or June. Anyway, we thought we better take advantage of all of us being home with no plans for a few days and we loaded up and headed to Lakeview Lodge in Broken Bow, OK. It was so beautiful! The weather didn't get as warm as it was forecasted to so we were under dressed. But it was fun to see all the landscape and the boys got to go hiking and learned how to skip rocks on the lake, tried their hand at making arrowheads and did some rock collecting. Our trip was cut short because Jack had a crazy reaction to something (???) Blog about that coming soon. So we can't wait to go back when it's warmer and we have more time.

Jack's Adventure's in potty training...Part 2

Jack is really getting to know his potty chair! We've had it out where he can see it and he loves to sit on it and even points to his diaper and then to his potty so he is starting to get what it's for. He also goes to sit on it everytime James says that he needs to go potty :) Soon we'll start the real potty training boot camp... I'm not looking forward to that but I am looking forward to the end results!
