Paci frog

Ruh Roh!  We were playing with all of the stuffed animals in the tent and Paxton came out with this in his mouth!  I knew there was a straggler somewhere!  Hoping this isn't trouble.  We have been paci free for over a month!

Vanns Annual St Patty's Day Party

Another one in the books!  A little damp and chilly but that didn't stop us from having a blast as always!
Paxton, Ashlyn, Ella and Wells
I tried really hard to get a picture of Paxton
 in the green mustache but he wasn't cooperating!
Almost 20 years with these girls!
Celeb sighting! Chandler Parsons from the Dallas Mavericks saw the bounce house and stopped by for a quick jump!

Quadruple trouble

These 4 have so much fun together!  And the 2 littlest "Linkwood Littles" aren't too far behind them! I am so excited for these kids to grow up together!
Girls just wanna have fun
Boys just wanna have more fun!

Snow day take 2

We woke up to 6 inches of fresh snow! And the sun was out too.  We borrowed some proper snow gear from our friends and we hit the powder!  It was so much fun...and we lasted so much longer with the sun and warm clothes!  *side note...Paxton did not have gloves so I put a pair of cotton mittens on his hands then a ziploc baggie then a pair of my wool socks.  His hands were covered in snow but when I took the layers off, his hands were warm and sweaty!  Score 1 for the homemade gloves! In the morning we hit up the playground and a hill for some sledding.  It was so much fun playing with all the neighbors.  I am not sure who had more fun the kids or the adults!
We went sledding on feed sacks
Took me back to my younger days!
These 2!
Love this mama!!!!
So this requires an explanation!  Our neighborhood had a snowman building contest. So, after lunch and naps we bundled up and went back out to make our entry!  Kristin had already started rolling the bottom layer and I started working on the middle section.  When we got them side by side they were exactly the same size and oddly enough looked like a pair of snow boobs!  We had to make a bikini to keep them decent! We were too embarrassed to enter this into the contest so we kept working and ended up making 3 blind mICE, repurposing our halloween costumes!  We won "most creative"!

DDS check-up

Ashlyn had her 6 month check up at the dentist. She was a champ!  Hopped right up on the table and was perfectly still while the hygienist cleaned her teeth. No cavities but she did say she is prone to building plaque along her gum lines and she needs to brush a little better. She got a "B" for oral hygiene. We forgot to do our pre-dentist visit brush and floss last night and were running late this morning so I gave her a piece of gum to chew on on our way. "B" for mom too!  Oh well...we'll get an "A" next time! I had the dentist look at Paxton's funky molars while we were there and he said they were fine. Just very groovy!!!  He also told me to start saving for braces because he will need them early...like 8!  What the heck?!  He said Ashlyn might not have to have them at all. We shall see!
