Who says January is no fun?!!

This January I was determined to enjoy the month which sometimes is blue, makes it hard to get outside, and leaves one feeling bored and experiencing some serious cabin fever. I am happy to say, this January has been a blast and has cruised by for all of us. Here is Will taking a bath with his bling-bling...his Happy New Year necklace. Love the style, Will.
Each night Will gets to bring a new toy/item into the bath with him. We have had anything from the Happy New Year's necklace, kitchen utensils, contruction workers, dinosaurs, and
hotwheels.

Mike joined us for dinner during his Outdoor Retailer convention. Will right away gave Mike a hug and a kiss....and of course had to show Mike that he knows Oliver from their Christmas card. We miss you 3!

At approximately 15 months Will poop's in the potty for the first time. Go Will!!! Here he is enjoying a lollypop after his success!!

Our January play date with James and Amara. Will and Amara are flirting here..Will loves her beautiful curly hair. James and Will both seem to be into wanting the same toy and love helicopters.

Silly James!

Will in his apron coloring and fingerpainting the afternoon away!

The mad artist creating a masterpiece!

Sink time after painting...yes we got blue paint in his hair!

Who needs fancy toys?

Love that little body!

We baked a chocolate triple-sec cake for Uncle Tom and Aunt Angie's visit for dinner! The batter is always the best.

Will was a bit frustrated that he couldn't get enough batter and so Dad helped him out! Will is now saying "Yum, Yum."

We play with animals almost everyday. I must admit this small sample of a wonderful collection of plastic animals was found down the street for 10 bucks at a garage sale. Will says dillo for the armadilla, tall giraffe, tusks, horns, rhino, and hops for the rabbit.

Grandma and Will fingerpainting as we are getting ready for a weekend away!!! Yeah!! What a way to wrap up our January. Cody and I packed up, left Will with Grandma and Grandpa, and enjoyed a romantic night away up by Snowbasin (about an hour away). We rented cross country skis, dined out, watched movies, and enjoyed our jacuzzi tub with a fireplace next to it!! Ahhh.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for watching little Will!
