January 2016

New Years Eve we drove down to Bismarck, ND to stay the night at a hotel with an indoor pool and do some shopping and just have a little family getaway.








 "School"
 Lenox and her friend, Nella Dupuis 
 Who Dat!





 Lenox's first smile (1/5/16) almost 2 months old
 Facetime with our buddy, Evolet, who moved to TX in November. We miss the Pope family!
 January 8, 2016 we started "Operation Potty Training". We did the 3 day boot camp method with Zebulun. We were off to a good start...underwear on his head!
 Potty time with Mickey mouse
 North Dakota born...Louisiana roots
 One day she will move mountians!
Matthew 17:20
He replied, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

 Not only are we potty training, were learning to read...jk!
 January 11th



 Sitting on her blanket made by her Gram
 She was lying on her tummy over her burp cloth, I come in the living room to find brother trying to help. He had rolled her onto his lap. Small heart attack but were good!
 This cutie loves to sleep








 Daddy and Lenox were sick (URI) so Zebulun and mommy went out to play and build a snowman! He was awesome, but that north dakota wind knocked him over later that day! 
 My cup runith over!
 Shopping! Girls gonna learn early!

Every year the kids get to open one present on Christmas Eve.

Anf then after they went to bed daddy put together Zebulun's art easel (from the Lenox family)
Christmas Morning!
Christmas morning with a toddler involves including the veggie tales nativity when reading the Christmas story. 
Sleeping Beauty





So all he asked for was a laptop for Christmas, up until about 2 weeks out, then all he wanted was a vacuum cleaner. His favorite thing he got this year was his play food and then the art easel for a close 2nd.


Mommy got a bookend daddy made
Zebulun helped Lenox open her presents
