When the cat is away.....

....the mice will play!

Daddy is out of town this week so it's just Mom and I to "hold down the fort." So you know what that means? PARTY!!!!! Mom says No, but we'll see if I can change her mind.

I've been a little under the weather lately. I have croup....and do you know what I think of croup? I think it stinks....no fun what so ever! I got it in a timeframe of 24 hours and had 103 temp along with, what felt like, hacking on a lung. I coughed so bad sometimes that I even threw up, which wasn't good because I'm small to start with. Speaking of being small, did you know I'm not quite 20 lbs yet. I'm hoping by next Monday when I go back to the dr. I'll hit the big 20 lb. mark. Wish me luck.

I better run, I'll make sure to update later this week. I keep hearing about a big road trip coming up in April to 7 different states including NM, AZ, UT, CA, WY, NV, and CO. I'll give you the scoop soon.

VIsitors

We had company.

Uncle Tom, Aunt Mary, Katelyn, Caleb and Hailey came to visit. We had a ton of fun while they were in town. I showed them my favorite park 2 blocks from my house, then I took them to the Copper mountain so they could go snow tubing. While they were snow tubing I entertained Mom and Dad and played with Hailey. I really hoped I would get to snow tube as well, but you have to be 36 inches tall....and as we all know I am certainly NOT that big yet. On Sunday we went skiing....this time I got to participate and test out my new skis. They rock in my opinion. I am thinking next year I'll tackle the really big slopes all by myself...

Here are some pics of the weekend....by the way, I absolutely LOVED holding baby Hailey...I could have done that all weekend.

Coupon Clipper...

I have a very important job on the weekends.
I am the house coupon clipper....even though I can't use the scissors yet, I sure do have fun tearing the paper.

Maybe next week I'll learn how to clean up after I'm done.

Happy Day...

...Happy Day, Happy Day, Happy Day...
Miss Madeline starts and finishes our day with this line.
It's absolutely adorable.

No longer do we wake up to have her come sit in bed and hang out with us. Now, we wakt up and immediately are instructed to brush teeth...while putting toothpaste on Madeline's tooth brush she jumps up and down saying, "Happy Day, Happy Day."

It makes me wonder why we don't express the same enthusiasm every day when waking up. I feel more like, ugh, it's only Wednesday...turn on coffee pot. ha ha

She has taught Jeremy and I how to appreciate every day and apparently start it off with, Happy Day, Happy Day, Happy Day.

So to you reading this, I wish you a Happy Day...because Madeline says so!

Enjoy!
