Random happenings from January and February, 2014:
Jace likes to push stuff, especially this purple doll stroller. (Actually he just loves anything that has wheels or can roll).
Typical little brother, no?
We ate at a really super fancy steak house for Garen's Grandma and grandpa McKenna's anniversary. It was yum! And fun to see some family :)
Sometimes we have FHE every Monday and sometimes it includes treats like chocolate chip cookie ice cream bowls!
The preschool kids learned about emotions and this was their snack.
Lainee girl had an ear infection and I happened to snap this lovely photo of the kids waiting in line for her prescription at the pharmacy. Nice one, Jace.
Ear infection day. Rest time.
(So far this winter- throw up flu, strep throat, ear infection, eye infection... Let's hope it's over now.)
Another of Jace's messes. Chocolate milk powder gone to waste :'(
We went with our friends, the Durrants to see Frozen-the sing-along. These stinkers wouldn't sing, but their moms had fun busting out some lyrics!
There was a Super Bowl game and we root for the SeaHawks of course.
Super Bowl Sunday in our blue and green.
Jace likes to steal my laundry baskets out from under my nose.
Lainee is learning to pump her legs and swing on the big kid swings. Woot!
Jace. Loves. Cars.
And wearing things draped behind his neck.
On a windy day, we made valentines. Mom did the cutting and Lainee did the gluing and the stickers. Jace crawled all over my stack of cute paper, naturally.
We had a girls night after kids were in bed and husbands were home studying. I made this. The number blocks confused us a bit ;)
We got to spend a beautiful day with Dad at the park one Sunday afternoon. I'm not sure how I feel about this crazy "winter" down here...
Then there was Valentines day...
We made cookies.
And ate them.
And then licked our fingers.
The kids got some cute hugging monkeys from the people who love them most- mom and dad.
My sweet valentine brought these beauties home.
And I got him this perfect candy deer.
This is all the junk we got from various friends and each other. Spoiled.
And this was our Valentine dinner for four.
Garen made some yummy smoothies.
And we got to read the love notes we wrote for each other earlier in the week.
I always try to get a good picture of these little buddies together but I'm always just a second too late. They're cute anyway though, right?
Jace likes to stand on top of stuff so he flipped the basket over and got on. Good thing he's not very heavy.
Somehow my house ends up looking pretty much like this every afternoon, even though we clean it up so tidy each and every evening before bed. (And by "we" I mostly mean "I.")
Jace likes it when his dad comes home.
Lainee's little preschool group learned a little about the Olympics this week and their own Olympic Games, where they won medals (made by themselves) and everything!
