Family Vacation highlights include:
Soren's first airplane ride, visiting the San Diego Zoo, San Juan Capistrano, having a wonderful date day with my husband at Disneyland, experiencing our first earthquake, surviving driving in LA traffic,having some wonderful mexican food and seafood, but most of all....hanging out with my sister and her wonderful family!!

Day one down...

I was ready to do many loads of laundry today!! Excitedly, I did NONE!!! Soren didn't have a single accident today. Tomorrow might be a different day...but it's looking promising:-)!!!

On potty training...

Officially we will start potty training tomorrow. Soren will 'go' when we ask him but won't offer to go himself!! So, today we bought some 'big-boy' underwear and treats for successful training. BUT....I am looking for any advice you other moms might have. Wish us luck:-)!

Thoughts from today...

It's hard to be 2 yrs old and trying to ride your scooter in the snow....you just get stuck!!

That I should really learn how to use the snowblower. When Scott is gone, shoveling the wet/heavy snow isn't my idea of fun!

The wet/heavy snow is really making me look forward to 65 degrees and sunny. Well, I'm also excited to see my sister and her family in CA:-)!!!

Our house...

When you are sick at our house it is MUCH easier to talk this mommy into watching Elmo on PBS kids and wear your adored cow costume for the second day in a row!!

Really!?!?!

Here's part of the conversation/experience Soren and I had this morning. We were making soup for some friends and cutting up the veggies. As I'm cutting up the green pepper Soren asked for some....okay. As I'm cutting up the celery Soren asked for some...okay. As I'm cutting up the carrots Soren asked for some....okay. As I'm cutting up the onions Soren asked for some...okay. Then he asked for some more and more and more....he ate HALF of on onion??? REALLY!?!? Above is a picture of him enjoying the onion.

Then I sent him AND his onion breath to play out in the garage as it's raining/sleeting today.

Catching up....

Snuggling with Daddy...

Taking guitar lessons from Grandpa Terry...

I think Soren could watch Scott blow snow off the driveway for hours...

Making forts with furniture/blankets...

Soren is 'fixing' his truck

These are just some of the ways we've been keeping busy this past weeks when it has been SO cold.
