Please mom, I'll give you candy!

Wyatt has been telling me he will give me candy if I let him do things.  It still hasn't worked, but I have to give him credit for trying! 

Jonah and Wyatt had a blast playing in the snow last week.  They were proud of their snow fort.

Hallee wants to sleep with her "babies" every night.  She always sucks her thumb and grabs her pillow case with her other hand when I put her to bed. 

I was looking back at pictures from a few months ago and I realized how much Hallee's hair has grown.  It is getting long enough to do cute things with it.

Hallee has been back to her happy self this week.  It is so nice!  I can't believe how much easier my life is and how much happier our home is when she is happy. 

She is growing up so fast.  She loves to ride her horse and to get me to look, she will yell, "ma ma" and if Keith is here too it is, "ma ma, da da."  She will keep saying it until we look over at her and then she gets a huge smile on her face while she shows us what she is doing.

Hallee hates to eat at the table.  She will sit at the table for a minute (a few minutes if she is really hungry) and then cry to get down.  She isn't done eating though, she just wants her food while she roams around the house.  I give into her way too often!  The other morning I couldn't figure out what she did with her pop tart and then I realized that she hides food in her little kitchen.  I guess she saves it for when she is hungry.  Funny girl.

She looked so cute and grown up the other day.  You can see our new van in the back ground.  I sure love that van!

I am learning more and more that Jonah thrives on responsibility.  He wants to feel like he is needed and important by doing big jobs.  The other day we were downstairs separating all of the rainbow loom bands and we were almost done when Hallee woke up.  Jonah volunteered to go take care of her upstairs so we could finish without Hallee messing them up.  It took about twenty minutes and I could hear that Hallee was happy upstairs.  I came up and Hallee was so excited to show me the Legos they were building with.  Jonah had fed her a snack and played with her the whole time. 

 Jonah has a heart of gold.  The other day the kids bought candy bars for $1 from a boy in our ward.  Keith picked them up at Young Men's so they didn't get them until the morning.  Wyatt was sad when he woke up and saw that Caitlyn and Jonah had a candy bar.  Jonah got money out of his bank and sent him into me with a $1 so he could buy a candy bar too.  Jonah is so generous.

Hallee loves to push her babies around the house in her stroller. 

Caitlyn loves to play with Hallee and Wyatt.  She is such a big help to me.  I love seeing her read to the kids.  She will always stop what she is doing to play with them.

Love these goofy kids!  Wyatt has started taking his shirt off because Jonah does.

Hallee is always the first one to kneel down and fold her arms for family prayer.  So cute!

Hallee loves to climb up on the oven to check things out.  I really have to keep my eye on her when the oven is on.

Hallee loves to go play downstairs.  She has to say goodbye to me every time and yell, "wee" while she slides down the stairs.
