We were so lucky to have Destine' here until Jan 12th.
Mommy was very spoiled having help.
Every time Sissy is home the girls get mani-pedi's.
Every day we have a lot of silliness in our house.
*some of these are cell pictures
Kylie made a game up for us to play.
Lots of silly rules.
The big 2.1.
Mom and Dad took Sissy out for her very first legal drink.
Cosmopolitan
Had a great birthday dinner.
Chris and Lori were able to join us.
More Silliness.
Pictionary Jr.
Bella loves to play Dr Bella.
She also loves to tell others how to play.
It may look like Jaxson is playing Dr. but make no mistake Bella is telling him what to do.
taking a deep breath
For Christmas Nana made Jaxson a few dress up capes.
Both double sided
Batman/Flash
Superman/Red Star
As a last minute thought Nana made Bella one just in case.
Great thinking Nana Bella loves her cape and calls herself
"'Super Bell-ya' to the rescue"
She sleeps with her cape and she needs to wear it out when we leave.
If she see's Jaxson having any troubles she immediately needs her cape.
Miss Bella is my little mini me.
She LOVES to help.
Anytime I try to clean or do laundry
"I helpa you"
She puts the dirty laundry in the basket in the morning.
At night when I fold and put away the laundry Bella helps.
Bella puts away her laundry in her drawers and everyone's else s in their drawers.
Occasionally I find Daddy's shirt in Bella's PJ drawer or Jaxson's PJ's in Kylie's drawer
and putting laundry away takes twice as long but
HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH!
one of my kids puts laundry away.
Sometimes and I am not complaining Bella helps too good.
After they were all in bed, I went in to start a load.
I was surprised to find Bella already loaded the washer with all the laundry from the basket.
Darks, lights, and whites over flowing.
Sooo Funny! She is such a good helper!
I was planing on potty training again when Kylie tracked out.
However, Bella woke up a the week before track out and said
"I need to go on the potty and wear underwear,"
OK Bella lets see how this goes.
From that morning Bella has peed and pooped on the potty all on her own.
She goes, washes her hands and flushes all by herself.
On the first day I offered poopie prizes and M&M's for pee.
After the first day I only give her M&M's when she remembers.
I'd like to take credit for potty training her but she really did it herself.
"Super Bell-ya" trying not to get pee on her cape.
Sometimes we sleep in our tinker bell outfit because Mommy has bigger arguments to win.
Playing puzzles on the ipad.
It's almost 70 degree's out but Bella has very strong opinions on what she wears.
I will have to remember when she starts school to allow more than an hour to get dressed.
This little one is going to be a challenge.
Yup still 70 degree's and they insist on blankets.
We use them when it's cold but now they don't care what the temp is
and Bella loves her "globes" (gloves)
No she is not strangling him, she's loving him.
With our crazy weather they all need chap stick.
Jaxson love's his "stick".
WE love the head phones Gram got Jaxson and Bella for their birthday.
Every night after PJ's they play their ipads (Leap Pad Ultras).
Then we watch a family movie.
I have puzzles and alphabet games on my ipad.
When they take a nap I try to get editing done.
On occasion Bella has gotten up before Jaxson.
When this happens I let her play my ipad.
I told her to get on my bed and sit nice I would open my ipad for her.
As I walked over she jumped up and grabbed my ipad, opened it, she typed the 4 number password,
swiped to the correct page and opened her puzzle game.
She's only watched me put in my password a few times.
She's a little smarty pants.
Jaxson is my snuggle bug.
At least 4 times a day he will randomly get on my lap to snuggle.
He hangs out with me and we watch the crazy girls.
Daddy brought home a special treat and Jaxson wasn't too sure of it.
It's a twinkie
Bella had no problem trying it
Finally
One bite
I think he likes it
We had a few flurries in January.
Believe it or not they got a snow day out of this.
Jaxson still lays down to watch his trains
We started Jaxson potty training the first week of track out.
It didn't go very well.
We stopped Jaxson potty training three days after we started.
He was just not into it at all.
He peed everywhere but in the potty.
He's has the "point the pee pee down".
We tried prizes, M&M's, match box cars, big boy underwear,
he was not interested.
I love my new coffee cup from my college girl.
It is too cool not to share.
The recital outfits were reveled.
For Kylie's Jazz and Hip-Pop.
January was a FUN month for us.
