February 2012 was ROCKY!

Oh February! This month started out fine and was fine for just the first couple of days.

Then Myles and Wyn got sick with just colds I thought.  They were colds at first, but soon turned into RSV. It was running rampant in our little town.  Thankfully my kids didn't get hospitalized or anything.  It just made for a very long, sleepless month!

There are a ton of pictures from this month.  I was kind of surprised to see how many there were, but then I realized that all we did was stay in our house.  So I guess we took pictures to pass the time. :)

The beginning of the month:

Myles wrote our number of the month for me: 9!  

He's always amazing me with his talents.

We played Band Hero as a family.

This was when Myles and Wyn just had small colds.

Rockin' out!

Grandma Ludwig had a birthday! 

More Band Hero!

Wyn after church. 

 I was trying to get a picture of how long her hair was getting, but it didn't work out too well. 

Valentines Day! I have no idea what we did.  I really can't remember.  I remember the kids got V-day balloons and that kept them entertained and happy. 

We tried squeezing inside Wyn's small refrigerator.  

And to our surprise they both fit with the door closed! 

This is a Myles picture, but he captured my feelings perfectly about this month!

Myles is a tough guy when he's sick.  Too tough.  I can't slow him down.  He would start running around and then throw up because he started coughing so hard.  We watched a lot of TV that month to help him sit still. 

Here's another picture Myles took.

Sad face. 

Wyn had to do her breathing treatments 4 times a day.  

Poor girl was so sick that usually she'd just sit there and not even care. 

There were some silly times.

Wyn starting to perk up a bit.

We even started playing hide-and -go-seek again.

Wyn in the dryer. 

 Myles in the pantry.  

Don't worry, I helped both of them in and out of their hiding spots.

There was definitely some good cuddle time this month, but I don't want to relive this one.

              Through this crazy month I was grateful that my kids are healthy most of the time. 

My little girly girl!

Wyn cracks me up.  She will play cars and trains with Myles all day long, but she loves her girl stuff! She loves getting her toe nails painted and LOVES putting clips in her hair.  

These are a couple more pictures from January.  

A few times, she's had me put clips all over her head until it's completely covered.  

I just love her! She's such a sweet little lady! And really funny! 

Never grow out of this, Wynni Boo! Just don't grow up! 

Grandpa Baird!

We don't get to see my side of the family a whole lot because we live pretty far from them.  So when I heard my Dad was making a trip to St. George at the end of January (only 3 hours from us), I knew we couldn't pass up this opportunity.  

It was my dad's birthday.  So here is Grandpa Baird and Myles blowing out one big candle.

Myles and Wyn's Great Grandma and Lee. They live in St. George.  So it's been fun to be able to see them more.

  

Great Grandma and Grandpa Baird

Myles and Lee's collection of cars.  My Grandma's house is like a museum.  So it's a little hard to take kids there, but they love to look at all the cool things they have. 

Myles and their grandfather clock.  He thought this was pretty cool.

Great Grandma, Wyn, and Myles. 

Me, Wyn, Myles, and Grandpa Baird.

Daddy and Myles being silly.

It was so great to see my Dad and Grandparents.  We hope we get to see more family as they come down this way sometime.  :)

January 2012!

Here's a little of what we did in January.

Playing slot cars with Grandpa Ludwig.

Wyn got brave and tried out Myles' motorcycle.  She's still too short for it and probably will be for a while, but she likes to sit on it and loves being pushed on it. 

Myles riding his Lightning McQueen four wheeler.  I think we may need a bigger one soon! 

Wyn and Dolly looking out at the snowy day.

Myles and Wyn on Sunday morning watching one of the animated Book of Mormon movies.  Now Myles will go around "shocking" people like Nephi does in the movie. :)

Myles started playing Mr. Photographer and the next three are of pictures that he took. It's always funny to me to look at the pictures he took and see how he took them and what's important to him.  I'll include some of his toys in later posts. They're funny.

Yay for snow!!! I LOVE that we get dumped on here!! I've never had snow quite like this before.  It's so fun that I can actually build a snowman out of it. And we even have tried to build snow trains! :) 

Mommy and Wyn.  

This is another one of Myles' pictures.

Myles and Wyn starting to be friends. Finally!! :) 

January was a good month for us (at least I think.  I can't quite remember it's been so long! :)). 

Favorite Pics of 2011 and New Years Eve!

 We got to go up to the mine in October and see where Daddy works and of course see all the haul trucks.

 On our way home from the mine we saw this train coming.  Myles was so excited! It's always a good day when we see the engine chugging along. 

 Wyn and her tweaks.  She used to get the funniest bead head. :)

 Wyn's first pony tail!

 A big fat pizza we made.

 Just a cute pic of Myles outside of our house.

 My little yoga baby.  She still does this.  Pretty good downward dog if you ask me. :)

 This was Wyn when I went to wake her up from her birthday nap.  

And the babes just playing outside.  

2011 was a great year for us.  

New Years Eve was pretty wild.  I prepared a talk for the next morning and Kenny prepared a lesson.  Myles and Wyn slept.  We are a crazy family! 

Christmas 2011

Christmas was four months ago, but I still need to blog about it!

We made our traditional Christmas pizza.  We used a new recipe for the crust and I don't think we'll be letting this one go.

Our family dinner after church. 

Myles and Wyn on Christmas morning.





Wyn riding Myles' new scooter.  We should've gotten two!

We had a great Christmas! It wasn't a white Christmas like I had wished for, but it was still great.  I love my family!
