February and March

It is impossible to get a smile from this guy for the camera. Literally.... impossible.

I think I can count on my hand the number of pictures I have of him smiling in his short two years. Which is crazy because he is generally a very happy boy.

Lately anytime that Austin sees me in my bed reading he feels like he needs to join me. This always includes him grabbing ALL of his books and piling them on my bed along with 3 blankets and 2 of his favorite stuffed animals. I don't mind though-- anything for some good snuggle time.

My brother, Jon, and his wife, Angie, came to visit us last weekend. It was fun to catch up with them and have visitors. Here is my attempt at a picture of all the cousins.

I wish I could say this was a picture of us on our way to Disneyland as Makenzie's ears might suggest. But no.... it was on our way to visit Antelope Island - 10 minutes from our house. Unfortunately, not a lot of antelope were spotted. Just a few buffalo here and there. Not too exciting.

We did go to the zoo earlier this month. The kids loved it.

Oh man--- I am so tired of the snow. But the kids aren't. This was our last big snowstorm earlier this month. I hope it's our last but probably not. The odds are against us.
