February so Far

February is only half over and I already have a slew of pictures to share. So lets begin (in no particular order).

My parent came for the Superbowl.  My parents wanted Denver to win and we were cheering for Seattle. We had a TON of food. We eat for most of the day! Plus our heater went out. So we put some space heaters in this room and got cozy. We stayed warm in one room and the kids loved the camp out for three days. We had fun eating, and watching the game!

Buddy got this jacket for Christmas. He loves it. It is his

roar jacket. He likes to put the hood day and scare you. 

 

This fireman is a very good helper!

The girls had some friends over for a late night. They played sliding down the stairs, had dinner, and watched a movie. They had a great time, especially since these friends moved and they don't get to play as often anymore. 

 Trains are overtaking my house. With our fathers though I am not surprised. RB's dad found us a g-gauge train set that we gave the kids for Christmas. The engine is the small one on the right. RB decided Buddy needed a bigger engine. So he bought him the blue one on the left. (Buddy doesn't know yet!) We also got him a matching caboose. He will get both for his birthday. Then my dad got a car for each of the kids (picture below). Luckily we have a room big enough to accommodate all of them. Buddy and Ms M love them. Thanks dads! Here are some pictures and video.

 

Oh Lil. Who knows why she is upset. 

 

 

 We got this waffle maker for Christmas from RB's brother and family. We love it!

 

Ms M learned how to roll a ball back and forth. She had a great time!

 USU Aggie games are in full force. We have been to about five of them. Sometimes the kids go and other times its just a daddy date with me or one of the kids. Buddy likes the games the best. This last Saturday we took the whole family and that was a blast. Ms M enjoyed herself and the kids did great! Yes, we lost but we still had fun.

 

We even saw Big Blue, as he came right by us and the kids were able to give him a high five. They loved it. 

  MJ being MJ. 

The pictures here do a great job at telling the story. I was cleaning out some cupboards and doing some rearranging in the kitchen. These two were great helpers.

 

 Around and around they went.

Well that is all for now. Bye!

Ms M's Check Up

Ms M had her 18 month check up. Things are going well. She is healthy and growing fast. Her weight is 24.5 lbs which is 53%, her height is 32.25 in. which is 67%, and her head is 17.7 in. which is 11%. She is finally liking nursery and goes in willingly now. She loves to tease others, especially her brother. She loves food too and can't get enough chocolate. She doesn't talk much but is starting to try more and more each day. Her hair is finally getting long enough to do cute hair dues with. Here she is with piggy-tails. So cute! We love you Ms M!

Trains

Buddy got some trains for Christmas from both grandpas. Today we finally got around to setting some up so he could play with them. We put it in the basement, but only a small circle fit. We are probably going to move it up to our living room where it can be bigger.

Buddy and Ms M waiting patiently for daddy to get the trains on the track. 

Here is some video we took. I know it is dark but Ms M just absolutely loved it!

(Ok, so the video won't upload. I've tried it many times and now think it is dumb. I know this isn't an actual video but it does alright for second best. )

Good times! Thanks Grandpas for the trains!!

Aggies Game

Before we get to the Aggies game here are some random pics. First my sister took this of Ms M. I love it!

Then I gave my sister a trim and RB a haircut. Every time I give a haircut Buddy thinks he needs one too.

RB took Buddy to the last Aggie game. Buddy was so excited to go all day long. They barely ate dinner because Buddy was so excited. As soon as they got to the game, Buddy was ready to come home. He got into the last bit of the game though. They had a good time.

BBQ chips are his favorite. 

Christmas

Christmas Eve came and we started the evening by going to see the Willard Bay lights. While we were out Buddy decided to crash. We then came home and watched Joy to the World, opened PJ's and Christmas books, and then got ready for Santa to come.

Christmas morning was fun. The kids had a good time opening their gifts and playing with their toys. Buddy actually slept all night. So he got to open his Christmas Eve pj's first and put them on like everyone else.

MJ really wanted twinkle toe shoes. 

I love my new shoes. 

Buddy plays with this toy the most. They are bath toys and they go in the tub with him, they sleep next to him, and every time he watched Planes (every day) they watch with him. I even found out they are filled with bath soap. Pretty cool!

This is how Ms M is. Always trying to get out of her clothes. We try to leave her in footed pj's for this reason. She is the clothes Houdini. She loves being in her birthday suit!

 Ms M loves her new baby.

Christmas afternoon we had dinner at RB's parents. It was good to see everyone, and eat such great food!

The day after Christmas we headed for my home town. My brother had his kids and it was good to see them and play games. Here most of the grand-kids are all watching a movie. 

Back home again, and onto the horses we go. 

We had a great Christmas break! Lots of fun, family, games, and good food. Hoping yours was great as well!
