February 2011

Pretty much the first part of February was spent making Valentines for everyone. Addy made a list of who she would like to send or make valentines for and it was 32 people long! And she made every single one. We also made "The Love Boat" to collect the valentines that she got in the mail and from friends.

We had a Valentine party with play group but it was so windy that I could not take pictures because I was busy holding down the picnic! We also had a little party for preschool. Addy loved it. We talked about love and we made little Valentines.
Addy, Owen and I made Wes a poster that says 14 reasons why we love dad. I asked Addy 14 times why she loved her daddy and I wrote down exactly what she said. Then we covered up each line with paper, so everyday he could peal another one off and see what Addy and Owen said. We hung it up on the wall right beside his bed so that he could remember to do it each day starting with Feb, 1st.

Wes and I got to go out with some friends from church to an Italian restaurant called BootLeggers. It was super fun to get out and away from the kids!
Owen is so cute and makes the funniest noises. But I love love love to look at him when he is asleep.

Addy loves to go to the park at Town Square Mall..she calls it the indoor park because even though the park is outside, it is inside the outside mall.

This is Addy feeding Momo. Yep, she calls the pink thing her boppy and she even switched sides! I was laughing so hard!! She obviously learned that from me.


Every 2 weeks there is a free Toddler Zumba class that we go to. I know that Addy is not a toddler anymore but it is a really good class for exercise no matter how old you are. It is really cute to see the kids move their arms and try to dance to and follow the music. This is Addy and her friend Theo leaving Zumba. This is her new pose for pictures. Yep! That's my kid!


It is getting harder and harder to take pictures of these kids. Telling them to sit still for 2 seconds is like telling the rain to pause for a minute....it just doesn't happen.

We have a thumb sucker!

Addy calls these her school glasses. I call them something else! She is too funny.


Our new-ish thing is to go out to breakfast on Saturday mornings. We have a lot of fun trying out new places. Addy loves pancakes, eggs and sausage. And the meals are cheap!
Bubbs
My friend told me about this blog about how to make kids food creative and fun. I am not as talented as the lady on the blog but I have made some pretty cute things and Addy just loves them. She will eat it no matter what it is made of, as long as it looks like something.
Palm Tree- Sugar snap peas, pretzel for the trunk, the white is cut up string cheese, pears and peanut butter.
Addy even ate a sandwich! Her first ever! Peanut butter and jelly! it is shaped like a clover, She has green beans and grapes.
More Owen


Chubby little feet
Big eyes
He stole my cup off of the counter. Good thing it was empty!
This is a self portrait of Addy. Can you see it? Red hair and yellow eyes? She is awesome!

The pictures are great! That is so funny, that is Addy's first sandwich! Cooper can eat a whole PB&J himself. Whereas, Cameron still doesn't eat them. They all have such different preferences!

I love the kid zumba! I would die to see that. I am the biggest white girl and cannot do it at all, but I'd love to watch the kids.

And Addy nursing...I remember the first time Makena did that. We were at the Pottery Barn outlet and we were looking at the kids stuff and all of a sudden, she whips out a stool, sits down and starts "feeding" her baby. Cameron tried the nursing as well, and Bode was all about the double pump!

Ashlyn has never liked sandwiches either... maybe I will try your idea!? It is such a pain to figure out what to feed her for lunch!
Cute pics of Owen.. he is getting so big!
