Bits & Pieces of March

 A chubby baby in the tub

 Nora dressed up as a different character from Dr. Seuss books all week at school. The boys love looking at my new Chatbooks (which are also the reason I have slacked off on blogging...)

                                                   Playing boys, a standing baby and bathing Scooter!

 A trip to Costco with my little guys and a sad Sullivan.

                                    Home Depot craft day and Miles made his own nachos and was pretty proud.

Baller

 Sophie played basketball again this winter and loved it. Her team improved SO much from last year! Last year they won 0 games and this year they got 5th place overall. It's been really fun to watch her do something she loves!

7 months

I just realized I never posted Sullivan's 7 month picture! Here is my little dream boat. This smile makes me so happy. Sully has two bottom teeth barely poking through, he pulls himself up on all the furniture (I won't be surprised if he is our earliest walker, beating Sophie at 9 1/2 months) Sully loves attention, Scooter, eating, emptying the dishwasher and when Miles and Wesley sing and dance to, "Can't touch this". This babe is delightful! We've got him sleeping much better. He only wakes up at around 1:30 and 6 now so I'll take it! Love this chub.

Birthday Boy

Our sweet Miles turned seven in February. Sadly, I lost all the pictures of his birthday party when I didn't back them up from my phone! :( We took him and three buddies to the Legacy Academy for some crazy fun and then back to our house for pizza and ice cream. He requested oreo brownies for his birthday dessert and navajo tacos for dinner. That night Uncle Matt was here on business so he got to join us! Miles woke up that morning super excited for his big day. The night before he told us "If you want to hide in the morning and jump out and say surprise - you can." We love this boy.

Brian is currently reading the Harry Potter series, which is really fun since I've been wanting Brian to read it for a few years. They are both loving it.

Miles and Wesley are pretty good buddies. They love playing games, legos, super heroes, cars and the Wii together. But what they do most is wrestle and play fight constantly. I rarely even tell them to stop anymore because it's futile. Boys gotta wrestle.

Miles is a really good big brother to both Wesley and Sullivan.

Winter

 Winter here has been a breeze compared to last winter! Still, come the end of February it gets to feeling a bit long. But we've had a pretty enjoyable winter.

 Pirate's booty and library books on the table.

 Conversations with grandma or Naunie on the phone.

 Bathtime.

 We have actually been able to go on afternoon walks to get the kids from school sometimes! If it's about 20 degrees with no wind we like to walk!

 Brian was out of town just for a night so the kids and I had pizza and played the Wii.

 Wesley loves Sullivan!

 Nerf gun wars with dad are the best!

 Nora did the 4th grade Battle of the Books and had fun doing it. Her team didn't go to the finals, but she didn't mind because then she would have had to read even more books, and therefore have less time for crafting!

Sullivan is trying to pull himself up on the furniture lately. It's pretty cute.

Valentine.

 Here is Nora in her Valentine outfit for school! Sophie was a bit sad that the 6th graders didn't do anything this year, no passing out cards, no treats. They did sell carnations at the school for the kids to buy and have delivered, but she thought that was pretty lame. Miles had a hard time because he despises anything pink or purple and hearts. So... pretty much everything Valentine's related! Ha! He did enjoy the candy.

Our ward had an 80's Valentine dance. We dressed up as best we could without spending any money. I knew keeping my hair crimper would come in handy!

Wesley's tongue

 

December

 

January

February

Back in October when Wesley ran into a wire fence at the orchard his tongue was cut pretty badly. It didn't heal very well because he kept chewing on the piece that was hanging off {shudder}. I took him in to see an Oral surgeon in December after our dentist looked at it. The surgeon said the piece hanging off would possibly need to be cut off and his tongue sewed back up, but that stitches from tongue surgeries often come out because of how strong the tongue is (especially on kids who can't be more careful). He suggested watching it for a few more weeks. So then I took him back in January and I was pretty excited that it had gotten quite a bit smaller. The doctor had scheduled a time at the hospital for Wes to come in but thankfully we didn't need it. Hooray! Now it is almost completely gone, just a very small bump. Pretty amazing. Wesley is happy that he can now eat on both sides of his mouth. And he's probably happy that I will stop saying, "Wesley, let me see your tongue!"
