Excited for a new year with new opportunities!
JANUARY is the one time that I look forward and backwards at the same time. I reflect on events of the previous year and resolve to improve some aspect of my daily life and personal philosophy. Cast out the old and in with the new! The shortest day has past, and whatever nastiness of weather we may look forward to at least I know the days are getting longer. Minute by minute they lengthen out.
January proved to be a month full of cold weather and snow but that didn’t stop us from getting out and enjoying the winter!
We also enjoyed the wintry bliss from inside our cozy little home. Something I am thankful for this time of year!
Jauncee and Clay Boy had fun strolling around the house! I think this activity eventually put him to sleep. It must have been due to him laughing so hard in the
beginning!
And yes, we still had our tree up in January!
Jauncee loves Clay and is so much help with him when she gets home from school. She can entertain Clay for quite awhile. We love our Jauncee!
January also brought our first sleigh ride of the season.
Sure glad Santa brought Clay a snowsuit so he could get in on the fun. He was fascinated by the ride and eventually it rocked him to sleep too!
Silly Jauncee!
Every night before I go to bed I give my sleeping angels one more kiss and fix covers if needed. To my surprise on a school night this is how I found Jauncee. I guess she didn’t think I was serious about it being bedtime! Of course I had to take a picture and tease her about it the next morning! She blamed it all on me…as if I like to play tricks on her at night while she is sleeping!
My handsome little boy that is always smiling but I never seem to be able to capture it on camera!
January was also a month for sleepovers. They are always fun!
Sledding on the elk hide proved to be entertaining. Jes was the only one who dared in the beginning. The other girls thought it to be disgusting…Jauncee did come around!
We also enjoyed an afternoon sledding. It was so much fun and nice to get out and enjoy the fresh cool air. I went down 3 times and would have more if I thought I could have walked back up the hill some more, which was quite a hike.
Every night Clay sits up on the counter and helps me cook dinner. He keeps me company and I love it! He is such a fun little boy, he sure can jabber up a storm if he wants to. Although his time on the counter in the Bumbo is coming to an end…he seems to have figured out how to maneuver out of it if he wants to. Better to be safe than sorry.
The girls having fun entertaining themselves!
Self Portraits...something Jauncee loves to do. She loves to take pictures in general!
Our little Clay Boy also turned 5 months in January. He is so much fun and is growing like crazy. It has been such a joy to have a baby in the house and a little boy to boot! He is so loved by everyone. I also can’t believe how good of a baby he is, we are so blessed. He likes to play with anything and everything. He loves to socialize and can’t get enough of his reflection in the mirror. I love this little guy and treasure the time at home that I get with him.
I love being a wife and a mother there really is nothing greater!
We are excited for February to be here and look forward to more fun and great things yet to come!

All of your kids are getting so big--growing up too fast. Jauncee looks like a miniature version of you--I feel like she is the reincarnation of the younger you. Clay is such a handsome little guy. And oh how I miss my sweet little Jeslyn!
