What Makes Me Smile

We are home from school (not due to snow like most people since the school we are at today is open, but due to pink eye) so I am getting lots of things accomplished today one of which is updating the blog. I wanted to just write a list of things that make me smile about the boys so I will have them listed out for me to keep. Parkes...he used to call his paci his "funny", he called motorcycles "cahcahs" when he was 2, he loves his curls so much he wants me to put gel in his hair and dry it with a diffuser, he refers to last night as "yesternight", he will tell me at least 3 times a day that he loves me, he is so outgoing all the time except at the very moments you think he would love and he gets shy, he likes to watch the food network with me, he loves to cook his own recipes he makes up, he loves his brother. Cash...he wants to have a ball in his possession at all times, he can shot and make basketballs from 5 feet out while yelling "good shot", he calls his paci "meme", he calls footballs "huthuts", he will tell you thank you for everything you do for him, he will repeat "hi" until you say hi back (can go for a long time when he's talking to people at the store and they don't realize he's talking to them), Parkes is the first person he asks for in the morning. I could go on a lot more but wanted to document at least some.

Snow 2010

We've had so much fun playing in all the snow. I heard we got 10" here, but at our house I would go with about 5". The boys love the snow...Parkes is too busy playing to pose for pictures, but got a few and Cash was all about posing. We played in the yard and went for a walk in the snow. Then the boys had fun watching one of our neighbors who wanted to play in the snow too got his bobcat out and started clearing driveways and the street while piling all the snow in one huge pile for everyone to play on. Then on Sunday after church and a good lunch at a new Mexican restaurant we headed out to the capitol and went sledding on the hill which Cash thought was so much fun...he's a little daredevil. We get lots of looks from people when we put him in the sled and send him down for him to tumble over, but then they just laugh as he gets up and says "more". Parkes got more daring as the day went on and started climbing further up the hill to go down. So we are home from school one more day before going back tomorrow.
