Fun Times in February

Here are some of our fun times during this cold month:


Everything is more fun in heels!

Baby Arianna 'helping' in the kitchen

Do you like my hat?

Peek-a-boo!

Crawling all over Daddy!

Mommy's turn!!! We sure love to snuggle these little ladies!

Little blue eyes. How do you like this face?

Taking advantage of the only time with Dad they get- during his breakfast. Kenneth was gone so often during this time with school and work.

First pig tail for Arianna

The girls running around the circle in our home with the walking toys.

Coming around the bend

Here they go!!!

A special treat at the Mall. Mom had a coupon for the yummy pretzels.

Playgroup Valentine's Day Party

I love the moms of the Liverpool Ward!!! One of our playgroup days in February, we had a Valentine's Party complete with decorating cupcakes, exchanging Valentines and a good ol' romp around the gym.
Here are the kids decorating cupcakes.

Food Storage Shelves

Kenneth designed and built these food storage shelves in our basement. He did such a wonderful job. I really liked how he custom spaced the shelves for canning jars, regular canned goods, water storage, etc. I also loved having extra space for all my empty canning jars.

What we didn't know when we built these was that in a mere 6 months after building them we would sell the house. Our consolation: the house was purchased by a good LDS couple who has the same feelings about food storage that we do. So, at least we know they will be used!

Halfway done with the project.

Another view of the job in progress. It sure is wonderful to have such a handy husband!

Happy First Birthday, Arianna!


Our little monkey turned one year old!! I sure do love this little girl. For Arianna's Birthday, we had Diane, Joseph, Benjamin, Jenny, Caleb, Joshua and Lydia over for dinner and cake. (I think Scott had to work) Here are the pics:

Here's me holding the Monkey Cupcake Cake

Here are some of the party-goers (Diane, Benjamin, Joseph with Emma and Lydia at the little table)

Emma loved seeing Arianna so messy!

Arianna started to get tired while eating the cake, therefore, she rubbed it in her eyes and all over her face.

Here is Caleb reading Emma and Joshua a story after dinner
