January in a Nutshell.

As always, January came and went before I could even blink....and it's already the second week of February!

Here's January in pictures.

McKay got a kick out of taking these "Million Dollar Baby" pictures.

I was in the kitchen doing the dishes and this is what I turn around to.

Reese teased us and fed himself the other day...he hasn't done it again since...he just wanted to give us a glimpse of what it will be like to have all of our kids self feeding.  ;-)

We took a spontaneous trip to St. George last weekend.  We used our new best friend (priceline.com) and booked 2 nights at the Marriott for dirt cheap.  We went shopping, played at a park, ate yummy food, swam in the indoor swimming pool, and had a blast.   

One of the nights we got a package of glow sticks from the dollar spot at Target and took them back to the hotel room.  We spent a good hour with all the lights off working on our awesome glow stick skillz.  

Carter always makes me smile.

We went to another park in Boulder City.  Parks are so much more fun when all the walking kids are old enough to play by themselves.  It's the worst following a one-year-old all around worried he's going to jump off and land on his head.  

One evening McKay and I were busy with something and Reese was fussing in his high chair.  Carter found a half eaten bottle, pushed a chair up beside him and started feeding him.  It was the cutest thing.

We took the kids to Disney on Ice - Toy Story 3.  

Sadly it was a bit of a let down.  Our seats were at the top of the section right next to the isle, so all the people walking up and down the stairs (pretty much non-stop) blocked our view.  Also, we felt like there was waaaaay too much "acting" and not enough skating/dancing.  

I guess it also could have been that we were wrestling a 2 year old and 5 month old until 10:00 at night.  

Either way, I'm not certain we'll continue this tradition...we'll see.

The end!
