baby SHOWER

Tuesday was Brittney's baby shower for baby #2-Emery! She came over on Tuesday to help make some white chocolate popcorn and help with the cake (I need a lot of moral support and encouragement AND help putting fondant on the cake).
The boys played and played. They are so funny! They love to copy each other and think its hilarious. One will make a silly noise or strike a pose then the other and then they bust up laughing at each other. They got to eat corn dogs together with their shirts off! Kolton thought it was pretty awesome they were both "nakie" because, well, to him, if either your shirt or pants are off, you're "nakie."
We tried to get a picture of both of them looking at the camera smiling--we didn't succeed. ;)

Brittney's baby shower was so much fun! It was held at Kathrine Neale's house. There was 16 people there and some brought gifts from other people who couldn't make it so Brittney got lots of girl clothes and bows and such! It was great!
The food was delicious! Jamie makes the freakin best chicken salad sandwiches so I HAD to make her bring them! Kathrine did the fruit and it looked AWESOME! Such a good idea to put the pineapple top on the plate! We also had a vegetable tray, truffles, candy, cake and punch. I stole the design for the cake from someone else but I love it! I love how the whole cake is shimmery, the black icing on the bottom tier is shimmery, I love the craziness of the ribbon on the top tier, I love the color pink the fondant turned out to be--I just love it! You can't really tell in the pictures, but Brittney and I brushed the entire cake with a shimmer dust that Wilton makes. Its awesome! I love it!

Jamie was also nice enough to condense the presents as they were opened for easier transporting. She also folded every single piece of tissue paper! She's awesome! Unfortunately, the group picture we got doesn't have everyone in it. Obviously we're missing Julie, who took the picture, and then 4 more ladies who had to leave for various reasons. It was a fun time, though!

Kolton takes a shower with me almost every day. Once I'm done in the shower I'll leave the water running and let him play in the water while I get dressed and then I go back and get him and get him ready. Anyway, this morning when I got out of the shower I plugged the drain so he could have a little bath. I was going to turn off the water after a couple of minutes but as I got out of the shower my phone was ringing. I forgot I left the water running with him in there until after I got off the phone with Brittney and in 5 minutes, the bath tub had filled almost to the top. He thought it was pretty cool!

We were getting ready to head out this afternoon to run some errands and Kolton found Brady's xbox gear and had to be just like his Daddy! :) He loves to play "daddy's game" with Brady.

Snowed In

The last few days have been fun! Thursday and Friday were pretty much spent at home.
I finally have found a cookie recipe that both Brady and I love! Its great! The cookie dough is yummy and the cookies are yummy! Its fantastic! Kolton enjoyed them too!
Check out that chocolate face! ;)

On Saturday Kolton got to play with some play dough. He had fun pushing it through the little tube thing that made it have different designs. I was surprised though, that he didn't try and mix the colors. I was nervous I'd be freaking out the whole time trying to keep the color separate, but he wasn't interested in mixing them. It was great! ;)



One day Brady was outside cleaning the car off (which took over 45 minutes one time) and Kolton was playing in the snow. He loved walking around in it! I need to find him some gloves, though, that aren't fabric. He'd wear his gloves for a couple minutes but after that they'd be wet and make his hands super cold. He eventually was wearing my gloves to keep his hands warm. He couldn't do much with his hands but they were warm!


On Saturday Brady played soccer down in Norman with some Norman 4th warders and his brother Dylen. Kolton absolutely loved watching them play! He just sat there the whole time and watched and cheered! It was great! Brady really enjoyed playing too! He's missed playing soccer!

Every picture I have of him playing everyone is blurry. Kind of a bummer, but this is the best one. Brady scored constantly! He was awesome!

Here is a picture of how the city looks after the storm. It is SO pretty! I love it!

We have gotten some HUGE icicles! Easily a couple feet long! Brady introduced Kolton to a must have childhood experience--eating icicles! Kolton loves knocking them down off the roof and breaking them as well as sucking on them!

Saturday morning Kolton didn't wake up until 10:53! 10:53! It was crazy! When he woke up I didn't know what to feed him--lunch or breakfast! Well, it totally jacked up his normal "schedule." Come 5:30 he decided he wanted to cuddle with Brady. Within a couple minutes he was OUT and slept on Brady until the Foys came over at about 6:30. Not the longest nap, but I love it when he cuddles with Brady. I think its so sweet!

Here's one of the super long icicles we've had.
Tonight is Brittney's baby shower so I'd better go and get to work finishing the cake and goodies for it!
