February 2013

February!

Another pretty low key 28 days. 

Valentine's Day was even chill and relaxed.  Matt and I always try to do something as just the two of us for Valentine's Day, but really our kids just won't have it!  :)  They are our sweethearts too ya know!  So we went down to Matt's work, ate pizza, played games and hung out with just us!  It was really the best time ever!  And so simple!  Our kids are too much fun!

 

Emily had a pretty fun Valentine's Day Family Home Evening Activity for us the Monday before Valentine's Day!  Fun times!

Kaylee participated in the HAST swim meet...doing her first IM ever!  She is working so hard.  You can click here to see her videos:  I actually have some from a meet on January 31st.  She wasn't going off the block yet...and in fact really didn't have a good start at all in the first video....but then it's amazing how fast she caught back up to everyone.  Once she gets everything working just right...she's gonna be unstoppable. :)

For some reason we had all kids at that swim meet.  Yay for all things electronic!  :)

We are still working on potty training.  Bribery works...almost too well...because now we have found out that if we don't bribe...he won't do it!  GRRR!!  I yell!  I get mad!  I try extra love!  I try not to care!  We've tried it all...he'll get it when he gets it I guess! (and as I type this February post in the middle of May dare I say I think he's got the hang of it!)

Matt took a trip to Bryce Canyon with the Young Men. 

And we have lazy mornings in bed while daddy is gone on Scout trips!

We went to the annual Green Eggs and Ham Breakfast.  Always a must!

Field-trip with friends to Maceys!

Sunday naps!

And more snow!

And for some reason my February picture folder is filled with this face!!

We all just can't get enough of this little guy!

Brothers are the best!!

In February at 6 months old Isaac is starting to roll around and crawl all over the place!  Way too cute!  And making our lives way too busy all of a sudden!  :)  But we sure love him!

So happy February 2013!  This is our life!  Mostly happy!  Maybe I should take more pictures of the craziness.  The messy rooms.  The tears over piano practicing.  The van of gym bags.  Thomas' potty training...I'm sure you'd love to see some of THOSE pictures!!  It can be overwhelming at times, but what you see here really is our life!  We have such happy, fun talented kids!  We enjoy being busy, but we also really enjoy the simple times together as a family.  :)
