Moving (for a little while at least)

The boys and I have decided to go and see how North Dakota is. We will be leaving in early May and will probably return in June or possible July depending on a lot of things. So we are busy getting ready for everything that entails.

I am having so much fun being a stay at home mom. I love it. It's my dream job and I'm happy to say that I get to spend every day taking care of the little men that I love so much.

Jackson is getting very inquisitive. He is always asking me about the world around him and why things are the way they are. He loves his brother more and more every day and he loves to play with him. He has crawling races with him and hugs him and kisses him all of the time. He takes things away from him that could choke him or hurt him and makes sure he has fun toys.

Since I've been home, we've done a few things that I never had time or the patience to do when I was working. We have made finger paints out of whipped cream and food coloring and I let him paint all over his high chair tray. He thought that was pretty amazing and delicious. He now asks to paint with "frosting" a lot. We also made home made sidewalk chalk paint and that was a huge hit. Jackson has always been a little artist, he loves to color and create pictures so when I told him we were going to paint on the sidewalk outside he was thrilled. A couple of times we have made necklaces, Jackson loves to wear his homemade necklaces and he loves to pick out the beads. We have been to the park a few times and as soon as it warms up more (and if we can find a park in Tioga, North Dakota) we will be going more often. I love seeing the joy on my kids faces when I wsing them or when Jackson goes down the slide.

Remington is growing up so fast! He learned to army crawl last month and hasn't slowed down since. He can also scoot on his bum if he needs to get anywhere. He started to shake his head "no" at things this week. It is super cute to see him shake his head and say "unh uh" to food, milk, toys and anything else he's just not interested in. I love seeing his little personality shine.

   They learned how to "tow" Oh my.
Jackson and his cousin Jameson had their very first sleep over, super fun!
Needless to say, we have had a very fun month. We are looking forward to the warmer weather and all the fun that summer brings. I will update once we get settled in Tioga in a few weeks!
