Terry and I were blessed enough to spend a whole week away from the kids in Riviera Maya. We did nothing the whole week! It was wonderful--the beach was beautiful, as you can tell, and the pools were phenomenal!
Thanks mom and dad, uncle Brett and Trennen & Emily for taking excellent care of the kids. . .we were worry free all week!
Because of the snow delay today, our schedule went out the window. . .so we missed Cole's nap and he ended up having a late afternoon rest time. I found him with all of his favorite stuffed animals playing Webkinz cards. . .so cute!
So, Wrigley has been with us for almost 2 months. He is definitely part of our family. The boys are EXTREMELY attached: it's a race in from the van to see who gets to Wrigley's crate first, lots of kisses before the boys leave for school and before bed and lots of carrying the dog around!
This dog is CRAZY about the snow. . .he goes out numerous times a day to run, jump and play.
Wrigley has learned a few tricks. . .We had a school delay this morning, so Luke decided he wanted to record a "show" of the tricks that Wrigley has on his "mastered" list (this is what Luke calls it!)
Grant and I were making some Valentine candy this afternoon and here is how our conversation went:
Mom: Grant, mommy really appreciates it when you help me in the kitchen.
Grant: I like to cook.
Mom: You do? Do you think you would like to do that when you grow up?
Grant: Maybe.
Mom: You don't have to. . . you can be a football player if you really want.
Grant: Yeah, I think I will be a football player without taxes.
Mom: Without taxes? What do you mean?
Grant: I'm not giving all my money to the president. He wants to take all of our money so he can get rich. I'm going to be one of the players that doesn't pay taxes. I don't like our president, I like the presidents like Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. They won't make you pay taxes!
