February 2014 part 1

I am so thankful for this little one in our family. 

Even though having a baby is stressful, she brings so much peace into our lives.

We have a daily routine of a bath before bed, and she sleeps pretty good too.

I just love post-bath babies. 

For Pat's birthday we went out with all these people that we love and ate at Yamoto. 

It was so great to be surrounded by all these people.

After dinner we went to the Provo Temple for a sealing session with Morri and Liza. 

Then finished the night with dessert at JCW's. 

I love the snuggles that this one gives. 

I almost wish she would stay little forever so we can always feel like this. 

For the joint birthday celebration with my family, Karri made this cake for us. 

Half Star Wars and half Doctor Who!! 

We start our kids early in the geek department. 

We had a great tax return this year and decided to splurge a little on ourselves with things that we have been wanting for years.  Mine was a Canon Rebel T3i DSLR.  I did pay for half of it with my saved Christmas and birthday money though. 

One of the first pics with my new camera.

Got a cute smile from Melody.

Daddy made sure to get a picture of me with the new camera too. 

Pat's splurge was the Star Wars Lego Death Star!!!

The box is HUGE!!!!

And the instructions seem even bigger. 

Here's my little Valentine 

Daddy, will you be my Valentine?? 

Here is a progress picture 

And the finished product!!!

It took him over 14 hours to put together!
