The Tyrant

-

Behold the tyrant! Our little Mr. Loyd is going through a crying phase. He seems to only be happy when he is being held, and even then it is hit and miss. I think he is starting to work on some teeth as he is sharing a large amount of slobber. I think if we can survive just a little longer he will soon return to his happy, easy going self. Everyone cross your fingers!

Bekah is keeping us busy with playing games and dancing. Whenever she hears a snippet of music she stops whatever she is doing and pulls her famous "princess" dance moves. She loves to stick her leg out and put her hands on her head like a ballerina. She also LOVES to play ball. We throw the ball around nearly all day! These kids are going to keep me in amazing shape with weight lifting and aerobics.

"The Tyrant" - I love it. Lately Charlie has been staying awake all day, and wants attention ALL DAY. I laugh when I read things like "take a nap when your baby takes a nap," not only because he is not napping, but because if I DID do that, we'd be living in a dump with no clean clothes or dishes. I think that advice only applies if you have an easy baby who is content to sit and entertain him/herself all day.

Good luck with the little tyrant - hopefully this phase will pass soon for him. :)

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
