February update?

I guess I should call this my February update since I am SO behind! I can't believe I have put off our blog for so long. I guess now with most everyone on Facebook, I have neglected our website! Sorry to our faithful readers!

Well, February has been a VERY busy month. It seems like we just go, go, go ALL the time! We have been busy with visits from friends, checking out preschools, dance, gymnastics, MOPS, work, friends, and on and on......

We are also now fighting sickness in our house. Bummer! Dylan woke up VERY early yesterday morning and very clearly sick with something. We got him to the doctor yesterday afternoon to find out he has a VERY bad ear infection. Poor little buddy. We got him started on meds last night and is doing much better already today! So that is good! But now of course big sister is fighting a cough and sore throat. So this week will be much slower as we will try to contain our germs to just our house. Might be good to have a slower week.

So these first two pictures are out of order. It takes forever to move them, so I left them where they were. Our friends Dan and Elizabeth (I was friends with Elizabeth in high school and Greg and Dan went to college together where we as couples spent time together), came through last Monday on their way to a conference for Dan's job. Greg was at work, but the kids and I were blessed with some great time with them along with their new baby Lucas! Dan and Elizabeth also have toddler triplets! Can you imagine how busy this Mama has to be with 4 kiddos all under the age of 2?!?!? She gets mother of the year award for sure! Anyway, I REALLY enjoyed my visit with them, thanks so much for stopping to see us Dan, Elizabeth, and baby Lucas!

One day before church we decided to take a TON of pictures of the kids. Alexa first was showing off her latest drawing and then Daddy went wild taking pictures! :)









One evening the weather was FINALLY decent to take the kids sledding. So we headed out our backyard to the church's lot behind our house.
I was worn out after pulling Alexa a long ways, up hill, in tons of snow.....so here I am taking a break!


The kids all ready to go!




A couple weekend's ago our good friends Spencer and Becky, along with their daughters Regan and Reese came to town to visit. They moved away about 2 years ago, so it was great getting to see them again. It was so fun seeing the girls play together again after such a long time! All the kids really enjoyed themselves!
Regan and Alexa all dolled up!
All 4 kids
Pastor Dale and Jan also came over that same night. Pastor Dale and Jan have adopted our kids as their grandkids and we have adopted them as well! They are great with our kids as, you can see the kids love them too! Dale with all the kids piled up on him!

Valentine's Day!
Valentine's Day morning Greg woke up feeling really yucky. So he stayed home from church to rest. I expected to find him still in bed once the kids and I got home. Instead this is what I found....

35 hearts all with memories of the two of us together written on them and rose petals and candles all over. Such a romantic! I am so blessed!

I made this special gift for the kids at MOPS. Inside the bottle is a puzzle along with candy

The completed puzzle!


That has been our February so far! I will really try to update more often! Love and miss you all!
