The 2nd half of February 2016

February 16th-

This is amazingly true for me.

The kids and I spent the day at BreAnne's house in Tremonton. We all had a fun and relaxing day. It was even warm enough to go on a walk!

Aisley's "spot" on BreAnne's couch.

I think it is safe to say that Rich will be catching up to Ruthie in size pretty quickly. Ruthie is 1 year old, Rich is 5 months old. Ha, ha.

February 18th- I signed up for a book box subscription for one month. It was so much fun and I ended up really loving the book that I got! I'm very tempted to sign up for a monthly subscription...! Thanks to my aunt Jil, I found out about all these fun book things that cost more money than I should spend! Thanks a lot Jil! Ha, ha.

February 20th- Aisley discovers the samples at Costco. She'd never even tried a burger before this day! Now we know how to get her to eat. Ha, ha. Guess to get this girl to eat and grow we gotta spend meal time at Costco!

February 22nd- Spur of the moment nap time!

February 23rd- I told the kids to get their jackets on.

February 24th- I babysat all kinds of kids today. Emmitt and Sammy (who I didn't get pictures of), Bentley and Tenlee, and Crayson. It was quite the crazy day. And whew, was I worn out once the day was done! The kids all had tons of fun together.

February 25th-

I love it when this boy has quiet, happy, alone time.

February 26th-

February 27th-

February 28th- Some major marble run building!

February 29th- Keaton's "All About Me" poster to celebrate his half birthday at school. Keaton had so much fun making it with me! The kids at school were intrigued learning about him being a premature baby.

The 1st half of February 2016

February 1st- Rich at 5 months old. You couldn't ask for a happier, more content baby boy.

 February 2nd- For me, this is so completely true. End of story.

February 4th-

V-day decorations are up, complete with snowballs to match the weather outside. Utah's fun like that.

Aisley may have a secret love for Keaton being gone to kindergarten. She loves to play with all things Keaton while he's gone at school. She loves that she is in charge of where and how she plays. Shhh... just don't tell Keaton!

My black bar stools came! I'm loving the way they look with my kitchen.

February 5th- Provo City Center Temple open house. It was beautiful and wonderful and special to take our kids to such a beautiful temple, in a building where Justin and I used to go to for Stake Conference before the tabernacle fire. We spent the night with Justin's family and it was the perfect night together. Both Keaton and Aisley loved seeing the inside of the temple and it makes me happy that they were able to feel the sacred spirit of such a holy house.

February 6th- I need to remember this.

February 9th-

 February 10th-

"Look unto God with firmness of mind, and pray unto him with exceeding faith... recieve the pleasing word of God, and feast upon his love; for ye may, if your minds are firm, forever." Jacob 3:1,2 Our "ponderize" for the week. I just love this simple way of displaying and coming to know the scriptures better throughout the day/week.


February 11th-

Lunch with Grandma Melanie means swigs of Diet Coke for Aisley.

Oh my. this one just made me laugh out loud and brought be back to my days drawing blood.

I saved this one for Maddie just cause I thought she would think it was funny!

Keaton came excitedly running out of his bedroom into the family room to tell me something and ran into the corner of the baluster... He hit hard and this goose egg immediately started to form. The poor guy was very sad. In the battle of the railing and the kids the railing is winning- Railing 2- Kids 0.

February 14th- A happy Valentine's Sunday.
