February Fun

 February was a busy month. This sweet boy turned 8!

 We celebrated Mardi Gras with the Cornia and Spencer-Weathers, complete with a King Cake.

 These two eating lunch while watching a movie (not a good habit I know, I must have been desperate...)

 Sullivan loves looking at books on the big boys' beds.

 I took all the kids in to the dentist and all were cavity free once again - yay!

 Sullivan wakes up much earlier than we'd like, usually between 5 and 5:30. Sometimes he falls back asleep with Brian or I, but sometimes he stays up and then usually takes an early nap.

 Nora on Valentine's Day

 My snuggle buddy.

 Valentine's Day loot.

 Sully loves popcorn!

 Someone gave us these huge cookies and now I don't remember who, and a cute kissable baby.

 Brian spent a lot of time working on our basement bathroom. So.Much.Work.

 Sullivan is a major daddy's boy, he would love to sit with Brian all day every day.

 Pinewood Derby time! Miles did his car 100% by himself and he won! He was so proud.

 Our friend Reid textured our bathroom walls for us and did a great job.

 A crowded bed on a Sunday afternoon. Love these boys!

 

Sophie had basketball all through the month of February and we loved going to watch her games!

Winter stuff

Wesley was pretty excited to make pancakes for dinner one night. He was quite proud. Whenever he asks me to play Lego's with him I find all the mini-figure pieces and assemble them all, it's an obsession. Of course, a week later they are all destroyed again.

The girls doing some Saturday bedroom cleaning. These two are such good friends! When they get home from school they often are quick to ask me where the other one is. It makes me so happy.

Wesley making his bed, Miles reading Harry Potter again. He has now read through them twice all on his own. I love the look on his face in this picture, he's very focused.

I can't remember why I took a picture of Sophie with her hot cocoa, but she sure is cute. She and Nora love playing Calico Critters together.

Sweet Sully playing with the Magnatiles and giving me snuggles on a day he was not feeling so good.

Sullivan only likes being silly in his high chair. And giving big cheesy grins!

Sunday afternoons get long in the winter, we like to play games or Brian often reads to the kids once he's home. I like how Sullivan is being silly on the desk in this picture.

 Nora in one of her fabulous outfits and Sullivan at his 18 month check-up. He's a bit on the short side, but healthy and happy.

Sullivan really loves books and this HUG book is a favorite.

I love this boy.

Johnson visit!

The Johnson family moved from Canada to Iowa, just 4 1/2 hours away from us! We have been pretty excited to see them. When Timmy heard that we were doing a project they decided to come help us for a quick weekend trip.

We have missed these good friends! We had a lot of fun having them here. Saturday night Miles came downstairs and threw up (partially on their dog...) so that was no fun. Then both Wesley and I were sick the next day. But the Johnson's weren't going to go running away from us like I suggested, so they finished their visit and amazingly none of them got sick!

We love these guys! Next time we are going to their place so they can put us to work!
