Getting out....

With this stupid weather we haven't really done much but here is what we have been up to.

Last Monday we took our little family to see my brothers family and we went to the Dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving point. Our kid is obsessed with dinosaurs right now. We had to buy a book that had the names because he kept asking us its name and we had to keep saying dinosaur, baby dinosaur, big dinosaur and so on.

It was fun having him tell us the name of the Dinosaurs as we were going through. We also got to go the the Farm there which for our family we live around most of the stuff there but he did get to ride a pony and yell yeehaw, which he says more like Ni hao probably because he watches that show Ni Hao, Kai-Lan.

For the Last update we went to Bear World. We always have a good time there. I do realize that I didn't take pictures of the bears.

Well I just hope that it warms up here soon. I'm going crazy having to stay in the house and I know my kid is too because he is always trying to run out to play in his sandbox anytime we go anywhere.

Life at the Sheppard's

We have been trying to decided if our kid is a smart or just really weird. I came down stairs and he had piled his toys in this nice little pile. We are use to his piles of toys because he likes them all together, but the way he had this pile stacked was crazy. The jury is still out but thought it was a interesting picture to share.His modeling career is about to begin. these pictures just make me laugh. The jacket he is wearing is really suppose to be on a bear but he was determined that he was going to wear it. We put it on and here are the pictures we were able to capture. Which is your favorite??


Our Little pirate. He was super excited to put the costume on. I think it was to boots. We were going for a smile but I guess the face fits the outfit.

It's about Freaking Time!!!

So I realize it has been over a year since I posted but I decided that I really need to do this. So here we go. Since the last time we have had another birthday for Kota. He is now 2!!! I can't believe it. We wanted to have a fun beach themed party since we built him a sandbox but it rained so we had to have it in the garage. I also forgot to take my own pictures so the pictures our all from my mother-in-law.(Thanks June for being our photographer for the day.)

It was still fun to have everyone over for dinner and cake. Kota loves the sandbox even though he had to wait a few days after his birthday.

I plan on keeping this up but there are no guarantees. So enjoy this one because it may be another year.

Kota loves to take photos with my phone while he looks at himself. It is so funny.

Bad Mom moment...

So we taught Kota sign language and he does so good. Tonight I fed him dinner then he snacked til bed and then he had his normal bottle before bed. We put him down for bed. Then he cried and cried. I waited for like 20 min then he started to get really mad. I go and check on him and talk to him and he starts signing eat. I'm like "no you have to go to bed." I put him back to bed and he cries so I let him sit on our bed with Aaron and he starts to sign eat again. I still thought you have to be kidding me. So back to bed he goes and then the crying starts again. About 10 min and I go in there and pick him up we start to rock and what does he do... he signs eat. So I decided lets feed him but I'll be so mad if he doesn't eat. We make him some oatmeal and he eats the whole bowl. So now he's in bed sleeping and didn't cry at all. Lesson learned.
