January Pictures

January has been a pretty low key month. I've felt like a zombie for most of it, only getting sleep in 2-3 hour stretches. But somehow we survived! As I look at the pictures from this month, I just feel very blessed and grateful for my 3 beautiful children. We are richly blessed!

 

 

My little bear! We bundled him up so that we could all go to the park and try flying dad's new drone that he got for Christmas.

P1 loves his baby brother, and he is a great helper. He tries hard to keep the baby happy.

 

P3 with his big sister. She loves him very much, and he is fascinated by her.

P2 had a fever for a day, and then a couple days later P3 and I came down with a fever. It was a fairly mild one compared to what has been going around. A little bit of pain medicine and rest helped us feel better by the next day.

The kids helping dad put up drywall on the beam we fixed in the living room. Dad fixed it all up, and we are very proud of him! I am grateful for how handy he is!

P3 is still figuring out how to make his hands do what he wants them to do:

P3 looks more like his brother, but they each have their own look. P1 is on the left, P2 is on the right, and P3 is in the middle:

Christmas with Family

We went to my parent's house Christmas day, and the kids had fun opening even more presents. 

The kids got a Kiwi Crate subscription from their grandparents down in St. George. The first box had a lot of cool activities about the body. We got to build our own stethoscope, and the kids really liked to pretend to be a doctor.

P2 got a cute outfit from grandma that included a matching outfit for her doll.

 My parents were given The Pie Face game so that they could play it with their grandkids. P1 and P2 did not like it all, and refused to play it. They didn't even think it was funny to watch other people do it.

We ended up with a bit of Kohl's cash, so we went and were able to find slippers for the whole family! They were all on clearance which was super nice!

And some cute pictures of P3:
