January 11, 2015 Ike rolled over.

 

 I told chloe:  You can have  a quick bagel if you hork it down.

Chloe responds: You know how I love to hork things down Mom.

Driving in the car Chloe explains the following:  Seahawks are the best, they always win...except that time they didn't.

 silly faces.

I was sick and Rex drew a drawing to make me feel better.  He came in so proud and explained, "You have a big head ha ha! And the little on is me and the big one is YOU!"

 sad faces.

 Ike loves his toes.

 eat it.

eat it!

 Flash back to Mike's and my Ikea date.

 Flashback Rex feeding the chickens at Thanksgiving.

 Classy car.

Ike rolled over for the first time back to tummy.

Ike loves to talk.

Cute but long.  Ike just lets Rex do whatever and is totally chill about it.

January 4, 2015 Christmas, Schuyler's 2nd birthday

Swimming.

 Chloe passed the swim test.  She tread water for 30 seconds and swam the the rope and back twice.  

 Chloe got a new outfit...

 and she likes it.

 Rex loves skewers

Christmas Eve Ham dinner.

 We read luke two and busted out in "glory to god, glory to God, glory to God in the highest.  Peace on earth good will to men..."and had a sing along.  It was fun.  Chloe has been singing Far Far Away on Judea's Planes ever since. 

Making gingerbread houses.

 Rex had a catapult and  a story with a dead guy by his door.  It was epic.
He kept saying, "This is the BEST day EVER!"

 Christmas Eve pajamas.

 Chloe left a treat for Santa and his Reindeer.  She really wanted to leave 19 carrots but I talked her down to one.  She left a bag so Santa could save it to give to the reindeer when they were done.

 Dri and my gingerbread house. It was awesome.

Chloe's

Rex's house has two cannons, and a maze obstacle course Captain Hook can't get through.

 Mikes looked like a commune.

 Tim and Marjie went rustic with a cabin with a porch and walkway.

 CHRISTMAS!  Was  lot of presents.

 Chloe helped herself to pie.  She ate 1/3 the pie and used the bread knife to help herself.

 Rex lining up his new wheels.

 Joy.

Playing with the new toys.

At church they were talking about rocking horses.  The chorister asked if anyone had a rocking horse.  Colin enthusiastically piped up, "Rex has one."  
Rex in his growly voice responded, "I don't have a rocking horse; I have a rocking DRAGON!"  
All the boys then chorused "Ohhhhhh"

Zoo.

 The walrus was hanging out on land.  We have never seen that before.  Her buddies were trying to coax her back in the water and she was having none of it.

 Zoo lights.

I found Chloe's card to Rex for Christmas. 

 As she clearly states in her card she got him dinotrux go to school.

 Chloe singing to Ike.

 Ike has a new friend.

 Sometimes Rex smiles so big you can see the dimple on his cheek and the one higher.

 Rex has been squishing his nose and telling people they stink.

 Schuyler turned 2.  We had ebelskivers and angle food cake.

 Jesse got a pal in church despite how jazzed he was for the opportunity.

 It looked like Chloe was going to draw a rameumptom.

But it turned into a nativity. 

Speaking of which we were the nativity family for a turn at the festival this year.
