My life is literally flying by. I feel like it should still be christmas! Moving time will be here before we know it... February was full of fun, we spent 2 weekend in Mesquite, one with rich's dad and step bro, and one with both his brothers. It was a really great time. The kids love playing with cousins! We will miss them so much! Meili and Ava had a great time on Uncle Meich's tramp and Gpa got some smiles out of T :) The girls were feeling friendly as you can see!
The boys decided to rent a 4 wheelin machine for Matt's bday, It was a lot of fun, but Kai said it would have been more fun if 'Daddy would have been a more careful driver...' :) That's my cautious boy! ...and Meili's not enjoying this popsicle at all... :)
We've also been spending a lot of time with Nate and Sarah. They've been our family down here and it will definitely be hard to move away from them. We went bowling, swimming, and out for pazookies all in the same night. The kids were wiped! Sarah and Rich killed us all at bowling! I guess it's not hard when all you do is roll gutter balls... (Nate) :) Kai got his first strike, he was so happy! The kids are growing up, there was minimal fit throwing and they took turns and just soaked it up. It was a lot of fun!
With 2 kids in school, valentines was really fun this year. We had a picnic at Kai's school and we even made our own valentines for the kids to hand out. Kai wanted to make his own, so I showed him an idea and we 'crafted' it :) 10 years ago we had our first date and we have been so blessed since then :) The kids and I attempted a red velvet brownie with white chocolate frosting for Rich and it turned out great! He loved it and I got my fav, choc covered strawberries! Awesome day!
I love themed holiday shirts, it an obsession :) the many faces of Meili... it's deserving of it's own photo collage...
Meili's drawings of valentines for the family. Each picture is holding a heart. I like how we all have accentuated ears and no the legs come off of the head :) my fav
For Kai's 100th day of school we had to make a shirt with 100 things on it. Being the star wars fan that he is, I made a stamp out of some of my old art supplies of a lego star wars man with a light saber, we think it turned out pretty cool! Fabric paint is awesome! He was a happy boy!
Here's a snippet of his Kindergarten home work, it reads: 'I looked at the picture. Yellow Darth Maul. He is awesome. Me and my friend Will. It was fun.
I hope someday these 2 are as close as Kailer and Meili are now. Since Meili has 2 more years at home I'm sure they will be :) I saw a glimps of that during bath time.
Tristan at 10 mo, pulling himself up on things and transfering between things :) Such a sweet happy baby!
Almost walking!
Kai loves to match his daddy and his brother, first matching shirts! He loves it :)
