February Pictures

A few odds and ends from February. P1 has decided it's funny to walk around with his shirt over his head. He's run into a few walls this way. P2 still likes to snuggle and rock.

This is P1's masterpiece. He made a picture out of all the blankets, and wanted to show grandma. 

President's Day

On President's Day, my mom and I went up to Logan with the kids to see my sister. We had lunch at a yummy place called The Crepery. They have delicious savory and sweet crepes.

Everyone loved it, except P2. She had one taste of her grilled cheese crepe, and wouldn't eat anymore. Not even the sweet ones!

It is always fun to visit Logan, and the kids love playing with their aunt. Except P2 screamed when my sister first got in the car. We think it was because she had straightened her hair, and P2 didn't recognize her. Silly girl!

Valentine's Day

We had a fun Valentine's weekend.

Grandma and grandpa came over on Friday, and brought a heart-shape pizza for lunch. They also brought me flowers, and stuffed animals for the kids. And chocolate of course! 

P2 playing with her baby. She likes to say "baby" and enjoys rocking her baby doll.

Sleeping like a baby:

 

We gave the kids Pokemon stuffed animals. I have been watching the shows with them, and P1's favorite is Tepig, and P2's favorite is Pikachu. They have been carrying them everywhere since they got them!

The kids came home from Primary/Nursery with more treats than they could carry! I guess they are well-loved!

Shakes

After doing some house hunting, we stopped for a bite to eat and got a little shake to share.

Hey, look! We all made it in the picture!

Gotta get every last drop!

Indoor Fun

 We have missed the outdoors this winter, but have managed to have fun indoors.

A visit to Discovery Gateway with our friends was a lot of fun!

Playing in boxes is always a blast!

Sunday Best

P1 got new clothes for church, and he looks quite handsome in them!

 

P1 started Sunbeams. He has a hard time when I am in there playing the piano for primary. He just screams and cries until he can come sit by me at the piano. So Dad now drops him off, and I sneak in and hide behind the piano. He does great, unless he sees me.

P2 does the same thing in nursery. She screams and cries when you try to leave her, and holds on with a death grip. But once we are out of sight, she does fine and has fun.

January Fun

Just playing with Dad's Legos:

P1 used to put all his toys on the couch, out of reach from his sister. Now that she can get on the couch, his new spot is the kitchen island. They also love playing in the coat closet. Maybe they are looking for Narnia.

P1 and I had an epic snowball fight! We had fun playing outside, just the two of us. 

P2 is always stealing P1's toys, poor kiddo.

Selfies!

A sweet couple in our ward were the nursery leaders while P1 was in nursery. The children all loved them, and called them Grandma and Grandpa. They were released in the fall because Grandpa was getting a lung transplant. Then, on Christmas Eve, they were told he had cancer and would not have much time left. We found out on Monday, January 4, that he had passed away the night before.

I was thinking about this dear family, and how good they were with the children in nursery. I contacted the other moms and suggested we put together a gift for them from the children. I was thinking something simple with their handprints on it. After many emails, we decided to make them a quilt. I have very little experience quilting, so I wasn't sure if this would work out. We had 1 week to put it together before the funeral.

Well, miracles do happen! We started the quilt on Tuesday, and it was finished by Saturday night! And it turned out so well! I was very impressed by all the young moms who were so willing to help, despite the fact that we are all so busy with young children. It's amazing what a group of women can accomplish!
