11 Months

 Olivia is 11 months old today and already practicing on blowing out her birthday candle out :)

Snow Day

 Nick saw the snow this morning and immediately asked:
"mom, can you get my snow boots, my coat, my hat, my gloves, and my snow shovel?"
So the boys went out and shoveled the driveway and played in the snow!

Nick & Olivia Want You to Know

It's FRIDAY

and they are so happy about that

Olivia's Ponytail

Meeting Max

We met Max over the weekend! 

It was so nice to spend some time with my brother and Madison. Love them and this little one so much!

Amy Scissorhands

Nick does NOT like getting a haircut. He gets very scared and worked up about it. I usually prepare him by talking about it for a week so he knows to be expecting it. I cut his hair myself and usually do a good job but on one occasion I have been in the process of getting the clippers ready while trying to calm him down and have forgotten to put the guard on...well, this is the 2nd occasion! The first time was 2 years ago right before a family reunion, but that was on the side of his head, atleast this is in the back ;)
Atleast he is at an age where he thinks it is kind of funny.

I thought I needed to make his hair much shorter to somewhat blend it in so when chris got home I had him help me. This is the final result:

so glad that hair grows!

A Bedtime Story

When Olivia was first born I would have Nick pick out two books for me to read to him before bed. One that he wanted and one he thought she might like. It appears she wants to start picking for herself now! ;)
