Please warm up!

I am sitting here looking out the window wondering how the weather changes so much!! 2 days ago it was 40 something and the snow was melting and now it is snowing and the temp is probably in the 20's and it's supposed to drop even more this weekend. Ugh I just want Spring to be here. I feel so couped up. When it warmed up just that little bit I bundled up the girls and my mom and I took them for a walk. The BOB (stroller) did pretty well in the slushy mess. The girls really enjoyed getting out into the fresh crisp air. I took them during their nap time hoping they would fall asleep. (YEAH RIGHT) Not sure what I was thinking. Neither of them slept.

Speaking of cold. This weekend Brant and I are running the Freeze Your Buns 5k here in DL with our friends Kara and Grant. I think that may be exactly what we are going to do is freeze our tushies. In the morning during the run I think it is supposed to be around 2 degrees. That is right 2 DEGREES!! On top of that I we haven't been working out lately haha I am not sure what we were thinking but that is what I told Brant we were doing for Valentine's was RUNNING. :)

Ayla still is not crawling but she is getting so close. Yesterday she started going from her belly to pushing herself up into sit position. She also is ALWAYS trying to pull herself up to stand if there is any sort of object next to her that she can grab onto. I have the video camera and the regular camera out and ready for that moment. Some other great news is that Tuesday night she slept from 7pm until 5:30am!!! Wednesday she did the same. However 2 nights in a row was good enough for her, last night she decided to wake up at 10, 2, and 6. Thats ok though the 2 nights before really gave me some extra energy. :) I will take whatever I can get!

Some really exciting news for Brayden is that she got a new car seat that stays in Grandpa and Nana's car. She was so excited. When she sits in it she thinks she is just the coolest. She tells me now that they can pick her up whenever they want! She also just started back up with her swim lessons last week. Dad gets to take her and she LOVES her time with her Daddy. In fact, this Friday Brant is taking her to a Daddy's Little Sweetheart dance at our local community center. Mom's are only allowed to be there for the grand march and then we have to leave. She is excited. We bought her a cute dress that she can spin around in. I can't say much about it other than it is pink cause Dad hasn't seen it yet. It is going to be a weekend full of family and love!
