January

Keep scrolling down ... you don't want to miss the post on potty training!  :)

The weather this month has been beautiful, so we've spent a lot of time outside - either on the trampoline, on walks or to trips to the park with friends.  During my free time, I've had the January-bug to organize and clean a little bit and I've also been working on my blog book (I have to use a voucher by Feb 18th or something like that) and spent some time putting together everything for our taxes.  

My mom came down for a quick weekend after visiting Gma & Gpa Thompson in Quartzite, AZ and we ventured out just a little since the potty training was still very new.  And like always, she helped me with little projects here and there.  Like, we trimmed our huge tree in the front (probably a 5 hour job), which I've been meaning to do for the longest time.  And she kept me company after a very long few days of potty training.  I sure love moms!  

Here's some pictures of the kiddos:

Still no binkie, so he just uses his bottom lip sometimes

Rachel is totally into "Toy Story" lately and so is Andrew (just kidding!) - just for the 1 minute that I let him watch it so I could get a photo.  That's a problem I'm finding with a big screen tv - I have to work a little harder to get him in a place he can't see it.  Anyway, the last two weekends we've rented "Toy Story 3" from Redbox and had family movie night.  I'm so glad to say that we have reached a point where we can watch a descent movie together as a family and make it fun!
