Allen Family Adventures: Is is spring yet?

I know I have nothing to complain about since this rarely happens, but for 2 weeks I was really looking forward to spring. Now, as I'm writing this it was 70 degrees outside and beautiful. Go figures!! Grandma and Grandpa Allen came to visit and see Bodee for the first time. I was so incredibly grateful for them. They helped out so much. I am only able to lift 10 pounds for another week because of my c-section, and sometimes alone that would be impossible. Lexi and Tess had so much fun with Grandma and Grandpa. They played all day and all night. It really helped them with the transition of having a new baby in the house. They have been great and so sweet to Bodee. Anyways, the Allen's bring bad weather with them and brought the 2nd snowstorm to Atlanta in the 3 years that we have been here. This was quite the storm too it was titled SNOW JAM 2014 haha. Yes, we didn't get much snow, but the Georgians went crazy. There were school kids stuck on buses for 2 days because there was so many accidents and slick roads they couldn't get out. Schools were canceled for a week, pretty much it was a mess. Jesse went on a trip to NYC and got stuck there for 3 days because the airport was shut down. However, for us, it was just plain fun! The kids played and made some nasty snowmen!

They had a blast sledding. Grandpa is so smart to think of the laundry basket! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for always being so helpful and the kids LOVE you, as do I!

When all the family left this was my life. 3 kids and mom in a Queen bed. Will I ever sleep good again?

Bodee is SO darn cute. We love him so much. He is an amazing baby. Sleeps anywhere from 3-4 hours at night and will occasionally shock us and go 5. He eats, sleeps, poops, and gives us sweet smiles. He is so calm and just lays there during his awake times. Lexi rolled over at 2 weeks old and Tess wasn't too far behind her so it's nice to have such an easy going guy. He barely moves!! He likes his warm baths and pretty much being cuddled and loved.

Lexi is so beautiful and makes me laugh all the time. At FHE last night we had a lesson on manners. She told me that when I yell at her and Tess that is not having bad manners. Jesse also does a finger magic trick and it really upsets her and makes her cry everytime. He does it anyways... She told him not to do it anymore because it was bad manners and prayed that he would stop. He did!! She loves watching the olympics and puts on my roller blades and ice skates!

Messy Tessy. Oh this girl is out of control cute. She is sooo funny and does the cutest things. Everything she says is a question and she has the tiniest, highest voice which makes everything cute. She laughs a lot and loves to sing "What does the fox say." She also loves to yell "NO SINGING" we have yet to figure out her wierdness!! Her big blue eyes and hugs melt our hearts.

Welcome to SNOWPOCALIPS! GA named yet another freak storm. This may look like just a light pretty snowfall, but it is actually pure ice and made our lives miserable! We got the easiest part of the storm, but still suffered with the power off for a night and a day. Normally it wouldn't be a big deal, but I had a 3 week old baby. No we don't have a generator, but have one in my cart on Amazon.com! Luckily we had means to cook food and we bundled up so we survived but I felt so bad for all those that were without power for days.

We started going on walks now that the weather is beautiful. Lexi rides her bike Tess walks but is really slow so I try to make her get in the stroller and Bodee loves being outside and is alert and loves our walks.
