Fun in the snow!

The first of many..

Building a snow cave.. it started snowing too hard to finish. I love his retro looking snow gear.
Fell and can't get up!
Zach built the biggest snow man! I can't even reach his head! I spray painted its face. The snow is so hard we could even jam a rock in it!
He's even bigger than Zach! It took 3 men to lift up the second layer.

flowers


I have been making lots of head bands lately, too many for one girl to own. If anyone is interested, I sell them for really cheap. I'm talking $5 a head band, $3 a clip. I love these things!
Here are a few:

They are adorable for you or for your little girls: 
Jonah is going to hate me one day for doing this to him. I just couldn't help myself. 
Anyway, if your interested, even if you want to come over and make them with me! I'm serious!  But if your too busy, would just rather buy one, or live out of state,  send me an e-mail: csnalder@hotmail.com

Merry Christmas

Heard a loud crash today. He's done this before, but normally the tree is still hooked together and ornaments are still in tact. today, It was a night mare. So being the genius I am, I did this:
Yup, I took off the top of the tree and stuck it in a pot on our tv stand. HAHA! See if you can get it now! ( I can't even begin to tell you what a pain it was to unravel the lights, ribbon, and the mess he made) And since I really didn't want to go outside in the snow to get our tree box, I kind of made a funky looking tree out of the bottom half! No ornaments allowed. No attention drawn to the tree.
                . . Jonah just knocked over the boring tree. Maybe I'll put it in our room. UGH.

I'm DOOMED!

new study shows that the man's gene is the key to your baby's gender. If your husband has a lot of sisters, you will most likely have girls! Well Fantastic! Since Zach's mom had four boys and only one girl, I guess I shouldn't expect any daughters! Too bad my gene doesn't determine our baby because we would have a lot of girls. I guess I will stop dreaming of some day having a daughter I could dress, wax her eyebrows, and sew with. Boys are supposed to be easier anyway, right?At least Jonah will have brothers to wrestle with!

Thanksgiving roundup


One of the perks of taking a 10 hour road trip with a one year old, is all the stops you get to take along the way!
Katie baking her mom's delicious rolls! We ate about half the batch before we even had dinner!
Jonah and his cousin Luke dancing together. Jonah had never danced this way before, so I think he was a little freaked out.
The family playing rock band!
My dad and sweet little Charlie!
Oh,.. it was so good to be home.

Thanksgiving part 1

Thanksgiving was great as always! This is turning into one of the only times my side of the family can get together. I have so many photos! We first ate with Zach's family, which was delicious! Then rushed over to my house, and ate ANOTHER turkey dinner! We really do have the best thanksgiving! By the time I'm finished eating, my pants are unbuttoned! 
Every Thanksgiving, my mom goes overboard on new table decorations. I wonder how many sets of dishes she has? 
My sisters and I. Seeing who has the skinniest arm. Who thought of that pose?
We tried to lie Jonah and Luke across our laps, but they weren't feeling like being models. 
My photo editor wasn't working. Sorry for the creepy red eyes.
Zachary and his brother Benjamin showing off hats in Target. 
We ate as much In N Out as possible while there! Jonah was mad he didn't get a cheeseburger.
The weather is so beautiful in Arizona! We could actually eat outside without sweaters!
More to come!!!

Daily activities

  Not much going on around here! But I realized it's been a while since I've posted anything. SO here are some random pictures I've taken of Jonah these past couple weeks. He is cracking me up lately! Jonah is getting so big, and turning into such a little man! Sorry, there are so many pictures here!!
 
     He's finally tall enough to climb up onto the couch! At Jonah's 12 month check up, he was in the 10th percentile for height, 45th percentile for his weight, and the 95th percentile for his HEAD! Yup! Short, fat, with a huge head! That's my boy!!!
                                               ..I think he's growing a little though. 
                        This picture isn't from halloween. I put it on him when our heater was broken. It's actually really warm! Jonah loves trying on our shoes! Too bad he can't walk in them!
               Watching Sesame Street one morning. I think it's so cute how he always crosses his feet. 
                                                      Trying to mop our front porch.
                                                          Doing tricks with a bottle cap.
