Since Christmas...

Things have been a little crazy around here. We had a great time while Shayla's fam was in town, but we were SO exhausted when they left! Will wouldn't leave the house for two days. Then my mom ended up in the hospital with two broken legs-long story for those who aren't up to date but it was not an "all of a sudden" accident type thing. We've spent time up there, gone to Six Flags a few times now that Maggie's really into the rides too, to the train display at North Park Mall (but sadly, not much shopping there), and spent lots of time with friends and family. Sorry for the jumbled up pics-
Quite an outfit-hat, gown, high heels, lei, and baby in carrier

Ethan and Will riding their bikes-yes, Will DOES have a helmet that he wears when he rides


Maggie has inherited Will's tricycle but I forgot to get her a helmet (at this point-she has a princess helmet now), so while we were getting Will's helmet on, she ran back into the house and came back shouting "I need that" while holding up her tiara. She wore it proudly on her first "bike" ride.






Maggie and Will in their conductor hats at the Trains at North Park





Will on a quick tour of New York

Maggie snuggling up with Rudolph to watch a little Baby Newton while Mommy gets ready








Feeding her babydoll something she cooked in her cottage
Almost getting kicked off the swings for ramming into people in front and behind her

I wish I could get them to both do cute faces in the same pic-I guess I need to learn how to photoshop

"sharing" a pink thing on the way out of Six Flags.
Maggie literally RUNS from ride to ride.




Walking on the rocks like a big girl (and boy)

Poor baby was WIPED OUT after the first few hours there. She had a quick power nap on the train and then was back at it again!
Will's first time down snow hill. Not so sure about this ride. And yes, he's wearing short sleeves. It was 88 degrees outside.
Will and Macy on the stompin boots. After my kids had ridden this a thousand times over the last few months, I finally rode it last night and I have to say, it's actually kind of fun. But all you Nashville girls will be happy to know that the Titan is my fave.
Maggie on the Mexican Hat ride. She still prefers the rides in Looney Tunes I think, but she's ridden every ride in the park that she can, including the conquistador-that huge boat that goes back and forth really tall!
Will and Frosty

The kiddos on New Year's Eve. Little did they know at this point that their parents would let them stay up until the ball dropped at the New Year (fake New York time anyway). They had so much fun making smores and doing sparklers and just being crazy until WAY past their bedtimes. It was so much fun to all be together!

Will and his smore
Maggie stripped her smore down to the bare necessities-the chocolate bar.

Will and his sparkler. These turned out to be quite a hit with both the kids

Tyler, Ethan, and Will with their sparklers
She decided she liked the marshmallows at some point and SOMEONE (Aunt K) was giving them out freely!



Will and Grammy (Mom, don't kill me for putting this picture on here) having their New Year's lunch and watching some football
Maggie and Will gearing up for a nap. Will thought the chair that folds out into a bed at the hospital was the coolest thing ever-he ended up staying so he could nap in the "bed."

I can't believe your mom broke both her legs...I can't imagine! We really need to come to Dallas and play! The kids would have so much fun. We still need to plan a trip this summer for all the girls!
