An update...FINALLY!

So, I've been absent from blogging for a few months. Miss me? I'm sorry, I guess it takes a good kick in the butt from a couple of friends to finally post on my blog, huh? Thanks Amanda and Brittany.

So, it's spring now! I guess I should let you know what we did this winter. Yes, we went sledding and it was a blast! Cade was not so sure about his snow suit; it was hard to walk around in. But once he found out that sledding was not about walking, he was ok. What do you think? Cute, huh?I was carrying him for the first little bit and he was getting colder and colder. We just had to help him walk up the hill between rides to keep him warm. And he either knew the purpose or is just a good sport, because he didn't have a problem with it.

Zach was all over it. He wanted to go "FASTER!" And he was a trooper. He stayed warm and didn't want to leave, of course.

Mom with the boys! Fun, fun, fun!!

Zach likes choosing Cade's clothes in the morning. One morning I was busy and hadn't changed Cade yet, so Zach took the liberty of dressing him. It was awesome. I had to help of course, but he sure tried. And what's funny is that Cade was cooperative. He doesn't usually cooperate with me, but for brother...

Zach is a great artist. He sat down one night and started drawing. We weren't paying attention at all and he didn't have anyting in front of him, he just drew the Spongebob crew on his own. I love it!

We went to the Living Planet Aquarium with Grandma Bailey. The boys got to touch a snake. That's a cool experience.

Cade riding the frog. He loves pushing the buttons on the wall behind him. They play different animal sounds. He really can only reach the frog button. He would stand in front of that all day, I think.

Zach on the frog. Don't know what face he's making...

And I just had to include the following picture. Cade likes laying on Jake like this for books, and when one kid jumps on, they all have to. Right? The third kid is our friend Cole Fife. Cutie, huh? We love it when friends come to play!

Probably the biggest change in our lives recently has been Jake's change of schedule. He was working nights for a while and now is back on a day schedule! We are so happy! It's great. We get to see him much more, it seems. I guess it's mostly given me someone to hang out with at night when the boys are in bed and a warm body in bed with me to cuddle with.
