Happening at the Vintons

We have been up to no good for some time now. We have been sick and tired of the cold and in need of some sunshine and warm weather. We just been eating, sleeping and trying to be as nice as possible to each other. I love being a stay-at home mom, it has brought me great pressure and I get to hang out with the most awesome kids and make the cutest things ( HERE) for baby girl, now I just need to find some boy crafts  for Alex. On a happy note, we have an appointment with Alex's teacher on Thursday, which mean he probably will start school next week. . . This is super excited and a bit nervous at the same time. . . I hope he will love his teacher and BE HAPPY IN SCHOOL.  I am really going to miss him a ton but I will have a whole three hours of quality time with baby girl. She turned 18 months and I got to take her pictures while we had a bit of warm weather, click HERE to check it out.

 Yesterday, baby girl had her first whole apple and she actually eat most of it. . . Wish Alex will eat like her. . . He only eat chicken fried ( a specific brand), pizza, tortilla ( with nothing on it) and hot dog ( a specific brand), I don't know what to do to help him other kind of food. I know that he will like other food, if he will just try them. If anyone has any advise on how to get him to eat more variety of food, please feel free to let me know, will really appreciated.

 Here a few pictures of baby girl and her apple.

Isn't she cute?! 

Thanks for always eating anything I give you :)

And here a cool pictures of Alex and his favorite snacks

Yet, the boy loves his cookies :)

A Corn in a Cob + A baby Genne = Just plain Cute

I am surprise that she can eat this with just 5 front teeth, and again one only use front teeth to eat corn, I guess. I love watching her eat, it is fascinating :)

She did a pretty good job with the corn.

And Alex, just being the cutie that he is :)

Love my babies !!!!!

Upside Down Alex~Sleeping Alex

 I finally got Alex to fold his arms for prayer and even kneel down by his bed. I call this major accomplishment :). Now, if I can only get Genne to stay still ( she does fold her arms too while walking around). 

Poor kid is always so tired by lunch time!

One Messy Eater

 She takes her food VERY seriously

 Her face is always so dirty no matter what she is eating.

I sure love you baby Gennie :)

Alex Loves his Ipod.

Alex loves his Ipod and learned so much from it.

Colors. shapes, count to 20, count back from 7 to 1 and his ABC and he even recognized them when he sees them.

My baby Gennie is 18 months.

Can't believe my little sweetie is 18 months, time sure go by fast. She has grown up so fast and learned so much .

 Some facts about our baby Gennie!

 She is sassy, bossy, sweet and loves big brother. Her favorite food now is white rice and beans ( our little Haitian girl) and black olives, although she will eat most things. She loves to watch Wiggles, Team Umizumi, Bubbles Guppies and Mickey Mouse Club House. She loves dancing to all kind of music and will dance with me while I do Zumba and our Just Dance games for the Wii. She is full of energy and make sure to use it all everyday. She also enjoys watching me chasing her around the house to do her hair. . .little that she knows, I don't care, I WILL DO HER HAIR even if she takes it off 10 minutes later and I have to do it while she is trying to run.

Valentines

This year Valentines was all about our little love buds. We dedicated all day to the ones that will always love you no matter what. We started the day with a yummy chocolates chips ( made especially for them, which they did not eat by the way )

Then, they got to open their baskets before Matt headed off to school. We made it the night before with a few things that they can enjoy and not to forget a box of chocolate.

 Matt busy writing on  their card that I made for them.

I read Alex's card to him and Matt read Genne's to her.

 Genne, doing what she does best, eating her oreos

 Checking out their gifts 

A very satisfy and happy Genne 

Gennie loves teddy bear and she was happy to get one to add to her collections.

Later, when Matt got home, we took our cuties on a date. Alex and I went to Tacanos while Matt and Genne went to the Japanese steak house where she had a great time watching the chef cook the food right in front of her.

Gennie and Daddy after their date( I was running late for date with Alex so We did not take any pictures before our date). This picture of Alex and I was taking with my phone on our date.

Flowers that Matt got me, I am married to such a sweetheart who did not mind making valentine's day special for the kids. I am thinking, we may make this a tradition because none of us really do care that much about valentines day.

Happy late Valentines Day everyone, hope you had as much fun as we did.

A diaper + a Pink Fluffy Boots = Cutest Baby Girl Ever.

 Our baby girl is a super girly girl. She loves shoes and will wear anyones. She especially loves her fluffy boots and if I don't put it away, she will wear it all day long, like yesterday! She was looking so cute in her diaper and boots that I did not mind having her wearing it all day long.

She, also, loves to help touch everything when I am doing the dishes or making dinner.

My cute little helper!

Genne's First Day in. . .

Nursery 

We I been waiting for this day since she took her first step 11 months ago. . . Can you believe, she been walking for that long?!. . . Matt was sick, so I took them to church today by myself ( Thanks to Nivea, my visiting teacher( the best visiting teacher ever), who sat with us Alex in Sacrament, Genne was too busy running wild in the foyer. I drop Alex first and sat him in his little chair, then next, came Miss Missy Genevieve. As soon as I open the door, she walked right in and find a toy to play with. Then, when I was leaving, I told her and she wave goodbye and kept on playing. I lone you baby Genne and will miss having you with me in RS.

Pretty Hair.

Did Gennie's hair yesterday, which look so cute but only last a few minutes. Doesn't she look precious?!

Olives

Genne loves olives and thanks to Grandpa Vinton, she, now put them on her fingers before she eats them. She will eat a whole can if we let her.

This year we are doing Valentine for the kids, Matt is taking Genne out and I am taking Alex. I'll let you know, how that goes. . . I am super excited about it and even making them a small valentine's basket :)

Waiting for Warm Weather

With Matt crazy schedule and the cold weather, we haven't been up to much lately. Just trying to keep each other happy, sane( most days) and entertain. We only get to see Matt on Saturday, so we try to do some fun stuff and get out of the house. Last Saturday, we went to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point and Olive Gardens, we had a great time, (especial Genne, she was running around talking and laughing). To keep myself busy after the kids are in bed, I've been working on some crafts projects( HERE). Matt, of course, is pretty busy with school and work , and still spend all his free time with us.

Enjoy some cute pictures of the kids
