January 2016

What was supposed to be a pretty boring January turned into an exciting month full of snow!  We also celebrated a birthday, 8 months and a Hall of Fame Induction!


We enjoyed some down time after the Holiday madness.  The girls are loving their gymnastics class and are working on all their trampoline skills.  We have a few more weeks of that left and then we start a new soccer season and they are trying tennis for the first time.  I think they are just in it for the gear and new racket but hopefully they like it.

After weeks of pretty mild weather, and even some HOT winter days, we finally had our first snowfall.  The first threat was kind of a let down with just ice and dusting but the second storm did not disappoint.  Nashville got about 8 inches of snow, which is the most this town has seen in well over 10 years and man did the girls LOVE it.  We spent 3 fulls days sledding, building snowmen, making snow angels and having a blast with neighbors.  Although I think the jury is still out on who had the most fun...the kids or the adults!!!

By 9am on the first day...this is how much we had!

Here is a video of Hudson working on her snowboarding skills.  She would have stayed outside all day everyday if we had let her!

Thankfully this winter storm, Tom was actually in town which was nice compared to last year's two week long Ice Storm.  Thomas even got in on the sledding and loved it.  After the Snow storm, Thomas turned 8 months old (on my birthday).  He is growing so fast!  He is still trying to crawl but has really only mastered going backwards...haha!  He does scoot around on his bottom when he wants to get somewhere.  He also pulls up on everything.  All he wants to do is stand up!  He still only has 6 teeth and has enjoyed getting to eat more real food instead of just baby food.  We go back to the doctor this month for his 9 month check up so we will get to find out how much he has grown.


Last weekend, we got to spend a great day in Bowling Green celebrating Tom.  He was inducted into his High School Athletic Hall of Fame.  They had a nice ceremony and celebrated all the inductees at the basketball game that night.  I think the girls were more excited than he was. (Hudson has his plaque in her room!)
He will kill me for putting this in here....
That is about all for now.  The girls are super pumped that their countdown chains are so short....because we leave for Disney World this weekend!  So February should be a pretty exciting month for sure!!!

As always, here are the rest of the pictures from our Snow Month:
