Molly really loves the snow too, but was ready to come inside!


Well, the snow finally arrived this winter!! Indiana was due for some good snow and it finally made its way here! Today, there was no school of course, so Adalyn and I got to hang out and play! Jay, however, did have to go into work, so no playing out in the snow until after nap time! Once Jay got home he shoveled the driveway, or should I say plowed the driveway, or should I say with the help of our neighbors they all shoveled and plowed the driveway! After that chore was complete, it was time to bundle Adalyn up and take her out for her FIRST "playing in the snow" experience!! When we got a little snow back in December she had her cast on and wasn't able to play and then this past little bit we got, well it was just WAY to cold for her to play in, so we were super excited to get her out there today. I was so worried about her getting cold, so I bundled her up EXTRA good-my mom would be proud!! She had on 3 layers, a coat, 2 sets of gloves, 3 pairs of socks, her hat, hood, Mommy's scarf, and but of course... Her Kitty RAIN Boots!! I thought I had a pair of hand-me-down snow boots but I didn't, so the rain boots worked out great!! After she was all bundled up she kind of reminded me of the kid brother on the movie, "Christms Story" that couldn't put his arms down, but the girl version?! What do you think?! Anyways, Jay had fun pulling her on the sled, which only lasted for about 5 minutes and then she wanted to dive into the snow herself. Her and Daddy made a snow angel together and she giggled the entire time! She kept saying how much she liked the snow and how much fun it was! We decided to go around to the front of the house where she could stand up on the cleared driveway. As we were standing there talking to some neighbors she decided to go head first into the mound of snow the Jay piled up! Serious Face Plant! Once she did that, all the fun and games were over! She wanted to go inside because she was "cold." Well, it was a lot of fun while it lasted! I love the snow!

These past few weeks have been super crazy not to mention all of the great things that have happened too! Adalyn is working her way toward potty training everyday more and more-YEAH!! We are at the point where she sits on the potty 3 times a day and wears Big Girl Panties for a couple of hours in the evening-we have only had a few accidents which is great! She has yet to "perform" or go "potty" in the potty, but I know the day will soon come! Adalyn also has moved on up from a crib to a Big Girl Bed! This was an adjustment because she kept wanting to get out of her bed in the middle of the night. One night I found her in the hallway at 4am playing with the dog! After that night we decided that it would be best for us to keep her bedroom door completely shut! Since that night she has been doing great! Sleeping through the night and not getting out of bed-YEAH!! Adalyn also has a NEW Cousin-Jackson Cole. He was born on Friday, Jan. 23 at 1:41 pm. He is SUPER cute with the stinkin' cutest hair around!! Adalyn is not jealous of him like I thought she would be, she is protective!!

We went with parents to Indiana Live! Casino on Saturday night. None of us had ever been and my mom had never gambled a day in her life-can you believe that?! Well, we had a really great time and the place is really nice. We didn't hit it big, but did break even, which is a plus. I didn't realize that you were not allowed to take pictures in the casino until I got in trouble by one of those security guys-oops! He told me that he was going to have to make me delete my pictures. Well as you can see I didn't delete them all-just the one he saw me take! I know from going to Vegas that you can't take pics at the tables but you could anywhere else, but I guess the rules are different in Indiana. Overall, great place to go and hang out and not a far drive. They had a nice bar, tables to sit at just to chill, live music, and of course all the gambling you could want.
