Hello 2017!!

Hello 2017!!  January is finally over - which means I am anxiously waiting for spring to finally come!! Over winter break and January we have been busy having fun and making memories!

After Christmas I booked myself to go and get a hair cut and my sweet husband added a pedicure to my appointment!  It was nice to have a super relaxing afternoon doing nothing!


Pretty toes!  The next day Brock and I actually went out for the entire afternoon for our anniversary - and it was awesome!


I love watching Courtney play with her new kitchen.  She loves being able to bake in the oven and use her fridge and cupboards.  


Watching a movie with Mommy!


Playing with funny filters on snapchat.  I actually have no idea how to use snapchat and can only seem to get images saved to my phone if I do a screenshot - oh well.  Its still super fun.  Plus - with filters your hair can be a total mess and you can wear no make-up and still look super cute!


Court loves playing with the filters.  She asks to play on it all the time.  Sometimes you just have to take a pic-look at my cute Christmas Reindeer!!  So cute!!


I love my new long side bangs!  Makes me feel way less bald - I have a really high hairline and sometimes I feel like I have no hair!  Also- I'm a big fan of the "pretty filter" and now I have a hard time liking selfies without it.  Its super funny that snapchat prefers to make my eyes super super green - they are no where near that green, they are a pretty strong hazel.


Ty playing with his new Spirograph that he got for Christmas!  Super fun!


Court loves playing with it too!


So cute!


Cute puppy faces with my girl.


And our cute Christmas Reindeer!


Winter break was actually super mellow.  Ty got an ear infection and the weather got really cold - so we opted to stay in, work on getting better, and doing lots of crafts.  My parents got Ty a huge arts and crafts kit for Christmas, which came in super handy.  We did a lot of the crafts out of there.  These paper bag puppets were one of my favorites.  So cool!



Courtney and her cow.


Courtney and the frog!


A lion -roar!


The cutest thing about snapchat is how much Ty loves playing on it!  I think this is so so great!  He makes faces and follows the funny directions to make the screen do funny things - I think its so awesome for him.  Look at my 2 cute puppies!


These cuties!


The shirt I ordered at the end of October as a Christmas present from Brock to me finally came around the first weekish of January!  I was beyond shocked - and excited!!


I finally looked through the art package that Ty brought home from school before the winter break!  So cute!  


I love that he is working on writing what his pictures are!  Learning to write and spell more words!



Ty is doing great with his cutting skills too!  Getting better all the time!


Another cold mellow day inside!  Playing indoor bowling!  The kids thought this was pretty fun!




Ty got in a crafty mood one night and wanted me to help him draw some animals.  He wanted me to draw the animal shapes and then he would color them in and I helped him write the animal name. I loved how detailed his coloring was and he loved writing the animal names too!  Fun stuff! 



Ty and Courtney are obsessed with games lately!  They got a couple new ones for Christmas and we have had a lot of fun playing them.  Its fun playing games and doing something a little different!


Kerplunk is one of my favorites!


Ty loves trying to figure out which sticks will get marbles to fall.


We were kinda feeling better and the weather was finally kinda warmer - so we met up with some friends to go sledding!  It was the most fun day!  I had planned to only go for like a half hour - and we were out there for a solid hour and I had to drag the kids back to the car to go home!

Ty hates taking pictures when sledding - just go mom!


Court playing in the snow.


Our sledding crew!  Court borrowed one of the extra sleds and could not get enough of it!  Going down all by herself like a big girl!  She had so much fun!


My cute kids!


My big girl!


Loved every minute of it!


Look at her big smile!


Super rosy cheeks after a long afternoon on the hill!


Hot chocolate and marshmallows after is a must!


My Grandma got Courtney a bracelet making kit.  She loves it!  Totally her kind of thing.  


Proud girl!  Super fun!


Having a crafty afternoon - making bracelets and coloring.


My Grandma also got Courtney a super cute jewelry box with a spinning ballerina.  She absolutely loves it.


All of my fun outings with Daddy over Christmas break didn't really pan out due to cold weather and people being sick - finally right before classes went back, we took the kids out to the aquarium.  Ty loves it there and was having a special bonding moment with the penguins.  He was moving up and down with them as they were diving and they started following him too.  So cute!


Up penguin!


We stayed to watch the seal show......its pretty lame.


I got some cookie dough scoops for Christmas and I love them!  So fun!


More funny snapchat filters! haha!



Just a girl in a big puffy tutu playing with her pink sparkly puppy and eating fruit loops.


First day back at dance class!  Someone is super excited!!



Brock got tickets through work to go to an Oilers game!  I was excited to get to wear my fun sweater!!


Which also lights up! ooooo!


Hanging out in Ford Hall!  The stadium is so cool and so so nice!


I had to get a picture with the bobbleheads!  So fun!


Sitting in our seats selfie!


Game time!


I had to take a picture of Ty playing with our sensory bin - Ty never plays with sensory bins.  Like not at school, not ever.  Not his thing.  But he will actually play with mine a little bit!  (Although I made this months ago and he never touched it until now). He likes my little silo - the popcorn slides out the bottom.


My cute little bunny.


It was warm!  So we made a snowman and enjoyed the snow!


Playing with huge snowballs!






The weather was super warm, so we took advantage and went out sledding again!  I went ahead and bought the kids their own little sleds and they loved them!  Court had used a little one like this before, but I wasn't sure if Ty would like it - he loved it!  So much fun!!  And I really enjoy not kneeling on the toboggan - that thing is hard on the knees! 


Big girl Courtney!


My big kids!


Court and her big girl sled!


Happy boy!


My 80's girl!  Court loves listening to all my old "read along with me" books and tapes and all my old music and tapes.  So funny!


Court in pigtails is the most adorable thing ever!


I moved Court up into the big girl dance class - the other one was way to little for her anymore.  Court loves going all by herself and is doing so well!  She also enjoys working on the bigger girl skills.


Working on her big girl plies with big turned out pizza feet!


I love spying on her in class!  She listens so well!!  I'm so proud of her!


Watching the seals on a cold day at the zoo!  They were jumping around and really putting on a show!


We had some crazy frost for like a week!  It was also crazy gorgeous!  I just had to take a picture - so pretty.


Courtney dressed up as Santa - HO HO HO!


My cute big girl dancer!


Working on her plies!


Enjoying some time at the park!


Cute crazy kids!


Court is getting so so big!  She can do these by herself!  When did you get so big?!


Bryan and Sarah were in town so Brock and I had to head down to see them!  We love their shows!  Bucket list!!


Brock's "picture" with Bryan! haha!  We were not going to bother maybe waiting to get a picture with them - so this was good enough,  It was fun watching their talk!


We did head over to their booth and got to meet Adam and Brock got a hat that Bryan had already signed!  So fun!  Brock's hat now sits on his desk next to his Bryan bobblehead! haha!


Best filter ever!


My happy bunny!!  Oh man - i love you so much buddy!
