Baby Blessing.

We know this post is a month late, but since we are wanting to put all of our blog posts into a book this june we needed to create a post about Jacobys baby blessing. We had his blessing February 7th. Yes super bowl weekend. We had a great time with everyone. Eric blessed Jacoby during sacrament meeting and then afterwards everyone came back to our home and we had a big lunch. Later that evening we watched the super bowl. Kendal and Lisa stayed for a little bit of the game and Stephanie parents left during the 4th quarter. It was a blizzard that night as well. Stefan and Janine just love having their cousins over. Stefan loves playing with Kaedrin. Even though Janine is very shy at first, eventually she will start to involve herself with others. Pictures are always crazy after blessings. Jacoby fit in the blessing outfit alot better than Stefan. Probably because Jacoby is a chunkier baby and Stefan was just a skinny binny. Jacoby is a sweet, cute little baby.

Bunkbeds!

It has been awhile since we last blogged! So much has happened so we will just start at the beginning. February 1st (Monday) we went out and bought Stefan and Janine Bunkbeds! Since all the stores we were interested in that had bunkbeds were all down in provo, so Eric went in and did all the looking so that in the end we would only have to go in 1 or 2 stores. which is what ended up happening. The bunkbeds are full over full!! I know you are all thinking why would we buy such big beds for 2 little kids? Answer?...These beds will come in handy for company and they come apart so in the future we can have two separate full beds. Jacoby has graduated from his parents room and to have the most space it made the most sense to have stefan and Janine share a room for a little while. When Jacoby is big enough for a bed he will share the bunkbed with Stefan and Janine will use the Daybed. Which is why we didn't splurge for character comforters. Stefan and Janine are still so excited about their beds. They play on them all the time. Stefan says his bed (on top) is the Race Car Tower. This boy loves racing. Now everyone who knows Stephanie knows she doesn't care for white wood. But we bought white bunkbeds one because it was our only option in the style we liked and also we can paint them later.

Winter Fun!

Hallelujia!!! We finally have some snow again!! Snow has been in the forecast for weeks but the storm always seemed to miss us. We have about 4 inches outside. Now of course we don't have nearly as much as Pinetop,Az got this past Thursday. Stephanie's family got 4 feet of snow!! Her family was without power from 7:30a.m to 5:30 P.M.
This morning Eric took Stefan and Janine across the street to go sledding. Stephanie forgot to give him the camera to take pictures so we don't have a picture of that, but apparently Janine loved sledding this time and she went down the hills by herself and went the furthest of anyone. Stefan always has a blast while sledding. Eric also likes to stand on the sled and go down the hill. The first time he said he ate it but then the next two times he made it all the way down without falling.
Stephanie would have gone but Jacoby is still a little congested so we didn't want to risk him getting sick again after we just barely got him better.

After lunch Stephanie took the kids outside to build a snowman. we don't have any sticks in the driveway or around the road so we went in the backyard to the wood pile and found to big sticks or really small logs. whatever your opinion is. This is our first snowman of the year! Stefan was a great helper and rolled the middle ball. he did awesome. Of course we had to get our pictures taken with the snowman so Stefan took the picture of Stephanie and Janine and then Stephanie took the picture of Stefan and Jainine.
