February has finally arrived.

Marc was out of town all last week. Then we got a huge storm and we didn't leave the house for several days but managed to keep busy and ending up having a lot of fun. 

Always a good little helper with the shovel. He has to take a lot of snow eating breaks though. 

He loves Sundance. She's a little bit terrified she's going to get her ears torn off when he comes near, but they still do great. 

Our little snow dog

We built a fortress out of the couch cushions and had hours of entertainment.

The Matrix

Lots of playing in the snow.

Lots of walks

Then Daddy sent Mommy and Grandma Pat on a weekend getaway to San Francisco. 

This awesome Cathedral was right across from our hotel.

Got the most AMAZING shake in Ghirardelli Square

Taking in the views.

Everything made me think of Jude-O back home. 

We loooved Wicked. 

We had amazing weather. I didn't know San Fran could even get that warm. It was beautiful. We soaked up the sunshine in several squares and parks. 

Our hotel

Checkin in. 

I love this silly little heart for some reason. 

Super bowl time! 

Touring the city

Trolly ride. 

Souvenirs for my turkey back home. I think I was really missing him. 

Grandma picked up this cool mug for him. 

Wasting time in the toy section of any store we go to. 

This was 100% Jude's idea to put the balloons he picked out in the tub. He was beyond thrilled with the result. 

I found him underneath his slide the other morning taking 5. 

He has always loved listening to his music with headphones. 

The January wrap up. FINALLY!! :)

I am totally convinced I have the silliest little boy possible. We have so much fun together. He is talking non stop now days. He always makes me laugh. Today he caught me off guard when he walked up to me and said, "Hey Mommy." Then later we were outside and saw blue sky for the first time in a long time and Jude stopped and said, "It's blue!" Then he started singing our Hello song. "Hello to the blue sky. So glad to see you." He is also obsessed with Tic Tacs. He has also discovered a new movie. Monsters Inc. I can't help but feel we are betraying Finding Nemo. Even he still loves it as well.

I have such a cool sister in law. She took Jude for an evening for us and we hit the slopes. I forgot just how fun snowboarding is. 

The train show with the Duncan's. Jude had a blast. 

Lots of cold winter walks for Jude's big sister. Jude loves the fresh air as much as I hate it and run back to the heat of our home. 

I LOOOOOOVE this little boy. He is a HUGE snuggler. Lately he won't let me even put him down to bed. He jumps right up and says, "Snuggle a little bit." Who could turn that down. I eventually have to come up with some excuse why I need to run out of room, after we snuggle a little bit. :) He could literally snuggle all night. 

I can't help but think of the movie the Titanic when I look at this picture. It is really cute still though. I wouldn't mind if his gold fish were a diamond necklace though.

Jude is in love with the Real Chant. Everyday he takes it up a notch. it started by just listening to it over and over. Then turned to playing it on his drums and singing along. Now he has to do it all with his RSL hat on. 

Trying to kill the January blues with arts and crafts. 

I made the mistake of getting the umbrella out to walk sundance in the rain the other day. I will never hear the end of it. Jude calls it his "Rainbella"

Sometimes I could just see cute little feet. 

This little turkey loooves the snow. 

He has a soft spot in his heart for his turtle and lately it has to be right by his side everywhere we go. 

Trying to break up the day with a short and brisk bike ride. Jude loved it.
