Snow Day!

Let's go sledding - Braden and I went sledding with his buddy Chase and mom Karen. We had a great time and the boys wore us out going up and down the hill. We got a lot of snow this winter and have enjoyed every bit of it!

Catching Up

On the Phone - Braden enjoys talking to his GG on the phone all the time. Here he is just chill'n talking to her one evening.

Budding Artists

Painting Snowflakes - Braden and Reece enjoy painting snowflakes while at daycare.

Mommy's boy

He's got some Gens in him - Aaron and I were cleaning out the office and came across this photo which my dad had given me. I was so excited because I think that Reece looks like me....Braden is a spitting image of Aaron so I finally got lucky!

Snow Day

Frosty the Snowman - we received quite a bit of snow this past Monday so while Aaron shoveled, the boys played outside. Braden had his mind set on building "Frosty" so teamed up with the neighbor boys to do so. When Braden showed me his snowman later that night, he said that he was not like Frosty because Corbin, our neighbor, did not have a magical hat! Thank goodness we figured that out because all I heard about was building one like Frosty!!!

Happy New Year

Celebrating - boys are being silly with some hats that we bought them.

Say Cheese!

Grandparents - what a great photo....I think everyone is smiling and looking at the camera!

Wilmes Family Christmas - we all went over to Grandma and Papa Wilmes' house to celebrate Christmas. The boys had fun playing with their cousins Kylee and Hunter along with seeing their Auntie Angela, Uncle Mark and Uncle Adam. Of course, hanging out with Grandma and Papa was fun too.

The boys received some fun toys and were excited to play with them all.

Gens Family Christmas - after driving through the night with Uncle Brian, we arrived in Ohio and were greeting by GG, Grampa and Uncle Robert. Grampa has his train that he played with when he was a boy all set up and waiting for us. We played with the train and later that day opened gifts.

Sledding - Grampa bought a sled for us to use and knew the perfect hill for us to try. We all went sledding....even Braden by himself and then Grampa took the last trip with Braden. It was so much fun!

Friendships - we all traveled down to Columbus over the Christmas holiday to see some friends. I was in Girl Scouts with Lori and Roxie and my mom were the girl scout leaders. Always fun to catch up and let our kids play together.

I have to explain the last slide: We got a snack...yummy peppermint milk shake from Chick-fil-A. I gave a taste to Reece who loved it and would not give it back. He cried and cried and finally I had to give it back. He called it "mine" and was not in to sharing....I think he had half of it! It was not a proud mommy moment for me! Oh well!

Reading books - Uncle Robert reading to Reece who is very attentive.

Beattles Fan - Reece loves to dance and really gets into the music playing in the kitchen.

Buddies - Grampa was watching football and Reece decided to cuddle up and join him. How sweet is that!

"My" Barbecue

Birthday dinner - we went out for Mommy's birthday and after Reece at all of his dinner he decied he wanted some of his mommy's. Silly Reece!

Finger Paints

Painting - after making presents for our grandparents, we played more with the finger paints. We love painting!

Christmas House

Countdown to Christmas - the boys are enjoying the Christmas house. We needed some sort of a countdown to Santa!

Lazy Morning

PJ's - we love to stay in our pj's all morning on the weekend. Especially when it is cold outside like on this Saturday. Mom loves to dress us in similar outfits....aren't we cute in our matching pj's?

Our kid might be a genius

Exact match - This morning, Aaron cut up some toast for Reece and just place it on his tray in a random order. Reece picked up four pieces and put them exactly back together. He even "grunted" and pointed for his daddy to look at what he had done. Do we have a boy genius on our hands?
