Cold Days of Winter

I am definitely a "sun kind of girl" and I love warm weather so although we haven't had much snow this winter - it is still winter and cold most days and we can't go play outside much. Anyway, I am so grateful that I have my little ones to "cheer me up" because I struggle this time of year - thanks Jax, Austin and Rio :)

Here are a few cold day pics that made it sunny around here!!!

One Sunday afternoon with Daddy and Jax and Lennox of course taking a little nap - Jax woke up from his nap and came out and laid down next to Daddy - I guess he wasn't quite done sleeping

Spence has not been home much at night during the week for the last few years and so when he's home, the kids are "all about Daddy" even when he's trying to eat.  My favorite is that Lennox is once again in on the action :)

I've said it before and I'll say it again I'm sure:  Girls will be girls and there is nothing like them!!! Little Rio in mama's tallest shoes but walking around like nothing

I had to include this pic because I think they are all so cute on the pillows "sitting tall" as they say.  And my little Rio with her "Dorothy's" on - she rarely leaves the house not wearing them - love it!

We had just come in from getting the mail together (hence, the coats) and the kids insisted on playing in the balls in the laundry baskets - so silly.  They could play for hours :)

Had to include our little miss once again all decked out with her princess shoes on - she earned them during potty training - she's such a cutie!

Rio insisted I "get a picture of Punzel too mommy" so here she is up close

Thank goodness that cousin Hayden's birthday is in the winter month of January!  She invited us to her party at Jungle Jim's!  Love that place so much - it is so, so fun!  Here they are with cousin Brinlee

Grandma with the boys - so glad she came with us!

Woo-hoo!  Pizza and cupcakes - they best kind of lunch and dessert!  Thanks Kristin & Mike :)

We had another super fun day at Bouncing Off the Walls with our playgroup friends - so much fun!  My kids could not get enough of it!

Boys in the Bounce House

We love our little Foulger triplet friends!  We made cookies together and gave all the kids a little frosting and sprinkles to make their own cookie - so much fun to watch kids be SO EXCITED about a cookie

Lucas, Reese and Jax

Austin, Rio and Avery eating and decorating!

Love this pic - the kids got shopping carts for their birthday and during the winter, they have saved us on many a cold day :)  This is Rio's - I'm not sure that she could stuff anything else in there could she?  She included the favs though - her milk, baby, princess shoes, doggy and a few other babies and balls... whew!!

And of course, I have to end on their favorite toy this winter so far...the vacuum :)  They'll play with it forever just laughing and giggling watching eachother - couldn't get any cuter!
