February 2013

By now, I take most of my pictures with my phone and use Instagram.

So here is February.

 

For Valentines, Mara got a new dress for  her bunny Zuma and we did her hair in hearts for school.

 

Xander and I got new geek shirts to show our LOVE for Doctor Who!!! 

 

A rare moment: a picture of me and the kids where EVERYONE is looking!!!! 

 

Karri made our Birthday Cakes:

Mine: Doctor Who

 

Pat's: Zombies

 

I think Mara might grow up to be a fashion designer. She is always coming up with fun ways to wear blankets and scarves. 

 

Karri gave us her old daybed frame for Mara! She just LOVES IT! 

 

And we FINALLY upgraded Jaina into a twin bed. It's amazing how much better she sleeps now. 

 

Speaking of sleeping. Jaina no longer takes naps, but she will most certainly fall asleep in the car if we go somewhere.

 

 

 

Even Mara fell asleep in a funny way. She was SO ready for bed that night. 

January 2013

We get crazy icicles on our house during the winter!

 

 

 

 

Xander and some fun LEGO creations. 

 

Family picture with Grandma Ethel before she went back to Tennessee. 

 

Grandma and her 'angel' 

 

Mara was able to get a blanket made by Grandma Ethel. 

 

I had to document Mara's fashion style. 

 

For Mara's homework she had to write about something that made her happy, and this is what she decided on. 

 

Xander made a LEGO train. 

 

He also got a Build A Bear for his birthday and I made some PJ's for it. 

 

Jaina always being a BIG helper around the house. 

 

Xan made a scooter for Camo out of LEGOs.

It was pretty cool! 

 

 

I love when they can cuddle up and watch TV together. 

 

Mara did Jaina's hair and makeup. 

 

Jaina and Mana: they were playing with an app on Mana's phone and it made Jaina laugh really hard. 

December 2012 part 4

On Dec 27th we went sledding with Morri & Liza.

It was so much fun for Pat and the kids.

I just stayed at the top and took pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A rare moment when I have all my kids snuggling with me. 

 

The Sunday before Christmas, Jaina was sick so we didn't get a picture of them in their Christmas outfits. So we tried again the Sunday after. 

 

Jaina and Grandma reading a book. 

 

We got to spend some time with Grandma Ethel.

Oh how we love this woman. She is an amazing Great Grandma. 

 

Xander lost another tooth!! 

 

We spent New Years Eve at Morri's house.

Jaina tries to play with Tiger Lilly, but she's never amused. 

 

Jaina stayed awake until 11:30 that night. And she wasn't too cranky the next day either.

Happy New Year!!!!
