Sweet, Smile, Silly, Snuggle

January went by so quickly!  I was going back through my most recent picture upload today and found a few worth sharing!

My sweet little Owen

Owen says "Cheeeeeese"

 Payton got these awesome Cars themed kids headphones for Christmas.  He loves using them with "his" iPod.

Silly faces!

  My boys are currently the best of friends and most of the time they are so very sweet with each other.  This was one of those times and I'm so happy I caught it on camera!  Moments like these melt my heart!

LOVE!

 Last Tuesday my cleaning gene (aka my mom...ha!) kicked into high gear and we spent about an hour after dinner cleaning up as a family.  I didn't realize how much help Payton could be.  He went to work with a few Clorox wipes and cleaned all "shiny" surfaces - door knobs, cabinet handles, drawer pulls, etc.  He helped clean up all his toys and carried a few things upstairs.  After he was finished, he asked what else he could help with... joking I said he could vacuum.  Before I could tell him any differently, he had gone to the closet and got out the small floor sweeper.  He vacuumed the entire downstairs floor!  I had to go back over a few spots but if I ever need a little help...and an activity to keep him busy for a few minutes...I'll remember to put him to work cleaning.

My cleaning buddy!
