Oh my kids

My kids are the best part of the day.  Joe gets them home and Mac is crazy loud while Nora is flinging her legs in her carseat.  They are loud and rambunctious and sometimes (a lot of times) they drive me absolutely insane.  But they are mine.  And they make me happy.

This morning Nora got up in a full blaze of glory.  I changed her diaper and stuck her in our bed with her bottle while I got ready.  She then decided it was play time.  We had barriers up made up of our pillows.  They were two pillows tall.  Joe was in our room getting dressed and I heard a thump.  That crazy baby managed to roll herself up over the two pillows and off the bed.  She landed in between the nightstand and the bed.  She was not at all happy.  Like Mac as a baby, she got over it really quickly.  That thump, though, is a terrible noise.

Apparently, she was a moving bundle of joy at Erica's too!  Check out the picture that Erica posted on Facebook this morning...


Mac was a cranky bear at Erica's.  He has a slight cold going and it has made him uber cranky.  Cranky.

Nora is slowly getting used to chewing food.  I bought her some Plum teething wafers today and she LOVED it.  She had it all over herself.

Then she decided to stop messing around and that it was time to eat her dinner.  She was a mess.  She had a good time chewing on her spoon and her bowl.  That baby makes me smile.

That's her "mommy stop taking pictures of me and stick that spoon in my mouth now" face.  She does not at all like there being a delay in the eating process.


Shimmered baby face.










After she was cleaned up and changed, it was play time on the floor where she felt inclined to use her brother's head as a drum.  And Mac let her.  They are so stinking cute together.  Now that she is so mobile it is hard to get pictures of them.  Either Mac is blurry or Nora is blurry.  There is no winning. The good thing is that they are so stinking cute.....but I could be biased!

Alaska Heat Wave

My Facebook account has been blowing up nonstop about the ice and the snow and the canceled schools......not in Alaska.....in Georgia.  In Alaska, we have been rocking out at about 40-45.  They had to cancel the Fur Rondy sled dog races.  The Iditarod start has been moved to Fairbanks.  NO SNOW.  Seriously.  Check out our front yard....


Random Pictures

Erica took this picture of Mac today.  I have no clue. 

Joe and I got a good workout by chipping the THICK ice off of our driveway on Sunday. 

Nora kept trying to pull her new hat off of her head.

Nora likes Mac's nightlight turtle. 



My Chunk was in mid-talk....not sure what was going on with her face.....

This Past Weekend

I had an awesome weekend!  We headed down to Girdwood on Friday to meet up with the Roy family.  A family friend of their's owns a "cabin" down there (it was bigger than our house).  The Cash family and the Roy family stayed Friday night.  Saturday morning the families left to go back to Anchorage but left myself and Erica.  It was time for Mommy's weekend!  Some other mommy's drove down and we vegged out all day.  Seriously.  We read magazines.  We painted our nails.  We gossiped about celebrities.  We relaxed in the hot tub.  We ate.  We watched a girl movie.  It was seriously exactly what we wanted to do!  Such rejuvenation!

SUPERHEROES!

February 15th we threw Mac a superhero birthday party.  On February 19th, my little man turned 4.  Oh how it has flown by!  It took me a little while to get the pictures loaded and edited but here they are...
