sha sha

sally was just here for a whole 8 days!
brett planned a secret birthday present of sally coming to indy
so sally, me and the kids could drive down to see amy!
sally came on the 4th and just left today! 
boo!
we didn't end up getting to amy's because amy's whole family got super sick
and the weather both in indy and in texas was CRAZY!! 
we did have fun in indy even though we were all very sad we didn't get to see the streets!



sally read to the kids everynight before bed and helped me put the kiddos to bed.
we made chocolate covered pretzels, cake mix cookies, breadsticks.
we went to the children's museum for the last time.
watched people chip 6 inches of ice off our sun room roof.
we just played and had a great time.
since brett was already gone to minnepolis for the new job
sally was, in my eyes, very mean and made me start packing!
good thing she did, she got me started!

silly bubba

kale is so fabulous these days.
being two is great!
sally got some get pics of kale while she was here!




this is how we found him watching yo gabba gabba one day!
i guess he likes purple.  he put the hat and gloves on all by himself!


            kale tortures me by wanting to play in the kitchen sink with the water all day everyday!
                             he does a pretty good job of keeping the place clean!
kale is such a joy to have around.
he is a sweet boy and is always being nice to everyone,
especially to pretty girls!
he loves to play with anything like a sword.
he loves to be outside.
he loves to jump off stuff, wrestle with dad and play catch!
he is saying prayers and always wants to have family hug after family prayer.
he loves to read books.
he would brush his teeth all day if i wanted to stay in the bathroom that long!
he is a great sleeper and sleeps through the night almost always.
he eats all sorts of stuff, including green beens, if eating doesn't interfere
with playing!
he is funny! 
 jokes around with us all the time and loves to show off for everyone.
he is a great little brother and son.
he takes after mallory and has some favorite blankets he loves.
thanks for being such a great part of our family, buddy!
we love you!

randoms by sally

here are some of sally's random shots of the happenings while she was here!
the kids loved to go in her room and wake her up each morning!
we played in the snow since we got so much snow and ice while sally was here.




this may be my favorite picture of the girls EVER.
they are always playing "dress designer".
olivia needed a chair and any sister would do, i guess.

melts my heart

sister best friends.

sally took this picture!
thanks sal!

ice storm

we have had crazy ice storms the last couple of weeks.
we had a really bad one while sally was here and the sun room started leaking from the ceiling.
the landlord had to come and get all the ice off the roof.
we COULD NOT believe the ice that was on top of there!
it was about 6 inches thick!


                                         this piece fell off the roof and stuck in the snow/ice.
                                                   the kids thought it was super cool.
                                                                                                                                               (so did i!!!)

we played in the sunroom in the puddle when it was leaking.
don't you love kales hat!

goodbye childrens museum!

we have loved living near the childrens museum here in indy. 
it boasts to be the largest in the nation!
the museum has been fabulous for cold days,
or now that i think about it too hot days too!
we are sad we can't go anymore but are very glad to have been able to go so much
when we lived here!
