 I want to take a minute to thank Grandma Hartzler for the stool (I mean shopping cart) she got Jonah for Christmas.
 Jonah has no trouble at all finding what he's looking for in the drawers.
 It's pretty neat really that he knows what to do with a screwdriver.  He got in the drawer like he knew what he was looking for and marched right over to the door to work on the doornob.  I got a pretty good kick out of it.
 Yep, drawer's empty.
 What's in here?

 Jackpot!
 Laney's been eating an awful lot lately.  Guess it's a growth spurt.

 Laney bedhead. She was not real excited to get her picture taken first thing in the morning.  I've kinda been in everyone's face with the camera since I started this blog.  I've been trying to get good pictures of Jacob, but it seems like they all turn out very blurry. He is not thrilled about me wanting to take pictures of his every move either!  I don't blame him!  The pictures I took at his basketball game today turned out horrible.  I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I'll keep trying to get good ones.






 Jonah and the other kids (Karlee is behind him right now) love this little space where the drawers go. 



 Does this look dangerous to anyone else?
 I was looking back through old pictures and found this one.  It is so sweet I just had to include it.  We were camping at East Harbor State Park.  Jacob is 7 and Laney is 3 in this picture.  This is one of my favorite pictures of me and Adam.
 Adam built Jacob and Laney a fort in the living room Friday evening.
 They absolutely loved it!  They even slept in it all night Friday night.
 This is what we woke up to Saturday morning.  It was a beautiful snow! 
By late afternoon it was pretty much all melted.  Well, that's all for now.  I hope everyone is having a great week.

I'll be impressed if I get this to work.....

 This is a typical thing for Jonah to be doing.  He's a monkey.  Which reminds me... Laney was talking about Summer's birthday one day and said we should get her a ladder!  I've told her lots of stories about Summer climbing so I guess thats why she thought of the ladder.  I guess it would make life easier for Summer!
 Jonah loves his big brother... the feeling is mutual!
 Laney lost her first tooth,  She pulled it herself in the van on the way to Grandma Hartzlers.
 So Jacob is playing basketball.  It has been very fun for him and exciting for us to see him playing.
 So far I've been horrible at taking good action shots.  I do have alot of behind shots.  I wont forget he's number 6 I guess.

 Jonah, Laney and cousin Adeline.
 This is something else Jonah loves to do.  Load up himself and all his stuff in a laundry basket.  Notice the belt attached...we take turns pulling him around the house.  Quite entertaining!
 Playdough....an awesome invention.  It keeps Jonah busy for an hour sometimes!
 We don't usually keep any chairs around the table for this very reason.  He is so quick.
Dad to the rescue.  I don't really have anything exciting to say. I really just thought it would be fun to have a blog so ya'll can see what we're up to.  I'll try to keep it up to date!
