Fry House

I have been a complete slacker and haven't posted anything for almost 3 weeks, but I am finally caught up so keep reading because I just put 7 post on here today!!

These are just some random snapshots of the past month

This is one of the things the boys love doing together. They fill their trucks with 4-wheelers and motorcycles and race around the house

Mason loves his shopping cart and Chloe loves her stroller. She has her baby covered up with her blanket because her "baby sleeping"

Gavin cruising around in my heels

He decorated the kitchen for Valentine's Day with a cluster of hearts

The boys making sandwiches out of each other

7 pairs!!

I had to patch the knees of 7 pairs of Gavin's pants. That kid is blowing threw knees faster than I can fix them. 

Me: Oh, Gavin when are you going to stop putting holes in your pants?
 (as I'm sewing and he's watching)

Gavin:  I will someday

Me: (giggling and kissing him on the forehead) I know

And he's right, he will someday and I'm sure it's going to go by all too quickly!

This is what Chloe looked like after being with daddy while I was working with Dr. Quinton : )

Cody and Gavin watching a 3D movie

Gavin Meditating

We found him in the dark toy room doing this. We were trying so hard not to laugh. He said he learned how to do this from Kung Fu Panda

A truckload of Superheros is a common site around here

Mason is potty trained!!

I have been "training" him since the beginning of January and he was still wetting his pants. I was beside myself but I was determined not to quit. Then I read a friends blog and she did her son in 3 days, without pullups. So I went for it, underwear all day...and guess what, it worked!! I am so happy! I think the pull ups were just making him lazy so Chloe is not getting them!!

P.S. Thank you Jessie for your inspiration!

Chloe my hippie girl. She put this on herself

A rare site: Mason actually sitting still!!

We sold Cody's other truck last fall and have slowly been looking for a new one and we found him one for super cheap (half of book). It's a long box so it will fit his tool box and the 4 wheeler at the same time and it's also a three quarter ton so it will pull our camper no problem!

The best part is it has the kids initials on the front:
GMC: Gavin Mason Chloe

Chloe and Mason

Mason crawled up onto Cody's lap and started snuggling with him

Gavin's new favorite thing that daddy "invented" according to Gavin

A peanut butter and nutella sandwich on graham crackers

Cody spoiled me this week. This is my second set of a dozen roses in the past week. There is no doubt in my mind that he loves me

Some of our favorite things right now:

Girl on Fire by Alicia Keys

-if you sing it around any of my kids they will start singing along with you and dancing

White Cheddar Popcorn

Skylanders- That's all Gavin wants to do, he's a complete addict and goes through withdrawals when I won't let him play it for hours on end

This isn't a favorite, but Gavin calls it "Cookie butter" because it has cookies on the container

Fireball our tarantula

Chloe got into the diaper bag and used all the "lotion" (hand sanitizer) up but she LOVES the bottle so I let her keep it and she backs it everywhere

I rarely drink pop, but Pepsi, especially Pepsi throwback is one of my weaknesses.

JUST FOR KAREN:
(she has been bugging me that I never put the after photo of my bathroom on here like I said I would after we repainted so this is just for her)

 BEFORE

 AFTER

I'm definitely happy that we repainted. Now it looks calm instead of like a swimming pool

Heise

For Cody's last night home we took the kids to Heise for some pizza

We didn't give Mason and Chloe any quarters but they were still just as content as the big kids

The big kids playing their games

We can't ever leave without Cody and Gavin playing a Shoot-em-up-bang-bang game

After dinner we went swimming in the hot pools. The kids love to swim and be in the water.

SLEDDING!!

The Frosty Fry Family after an afternoon of sledding

Off we go

The rope got tangled up in the axel when Cody was spinning cookies trying to throw me off. Unfortunately for him he had just taken his knife out of his pocket before we left.

I had to throw myself off the sled before I went under the 4 wheeler and I am sore to prove it! My right cheek/hip is soooo tender, but it's OK because we had a blast!

I managed to throw Cody off a time...

or two!!

After I made sure he was OK I teased him about being a meteor because of the marks he made in the snow when he fell off. He literally slid for about 6 feet!!

(insert giggling here)

I helped him get up but it took awhile because we were laughing and then I got him all cleaned off and we kept going

Gavin threw himself in the snow trying to mimic Cody

It snowed quite a bit and the boys were so glad

The wind was blowing the snow sideways and making it stick to our windows

Gavin and Mason

Gavin informed me that his favorite thing about playing in the snow is that I always have hot cocoa waiting for him when he comes in.

Eye Doc

Gavin has been complaining of headaches and occasional blurry vision so off to the optometrist we went.

Gavin (with Ella) doing some eye test with some super stellar glasses

It's hard to get a serious face out of this kid anymore

Dr. Ives and Gavin

I'm happy to report that he pretty much passed with flying colors. He does have 20/25 in his left eye, but nothing worth correcting and everything else looks good.

Tickle War

Tickle Wars are the kids favorite thing to do with their daddy and it's usually the first thing they want to do when he gets home

This time Cody taught them all about Doggy Piles

I haven't done one of these in a long time but I'm pretty sure the little guys are suppose to be on top ; )

Time Out!! I smell a Code Brown

This is how Chloe's hair always looks by the end of the day

They finally defeated daddy!
