Mclayne had gymnastics for the first time today, so I snapped some pictures before we left the house. Ryan also got some video during the class, but since it was her first time {and she had to go the bathroom the WHOLE time} I think I'll wait and post video from next time.

This pose was inherited straight from Ryan. I think he pulled a variation of this pose in a lot of pics as a kid. Good thing that trait was passed on! Goofy pose and all, I love mclayne in her new leotard/onsie. {And I also love my new Valentines/Forth of July/Christmas/Ute wreath and Mclaynes "new" purple clogs from Salvation Army.}




I can never take pictures at the front door without Cole joining in. I wouldn't have included it, but I think he looks just like my older sister when she was young. I've never noticed it before, and sometimes I way off with resemblances, but I see it in this one.

Not your normal Valentine's post

One of Mclayne's favorite christmas presents was/is her new camera. We decided to buy her "one like mom's," since it wasn't that much more than a kid camera. For the price I didn't expect it to have video, but lucky for us we discovered it does. And it hasn't been on still mode since. Here is a small taste of what mclayne has been busy recording. It was hard to pick just one. Other condenders included the one about BJ...her stuffed dog and an episode of iLaynie(unfortunely she still remembers iCarly even though she is no longer allowed to watch).

As for Cole, he went to his first Monster Truck Jam on Saturday and pooped on the toilet for the first time today. I guess that officially makes him a BIG BOY!

Snow Day

We finally got some snow in Colorado(after mild winter and a week of 60-70 degree weather)! We figured we should get out there and enjoy it while it lasts.









Everything was literally picture perfect until the last run. We finally hit the big jump that mclayne and cole had tried {unsuccessfully} to hit all day. It was a little too much. And it probably didn't help that by this point we had gotten very creative with positioning...mclayne was laying on her stomach head first with cole sitting on her bum and me on my knees straddling her legs. It's the one we really needed video of!
