Abbi loves to color her buzz light year! We had our cousin Easton over for a few days and did a lot of coloring and eating cookies! Check out Abbi's chin! She thought the markers were pretty tasty!
Cookie time!!! Abbi loves her cousin Easton. This cute little fellow was a little sick when we got him. He wanted his mom and dad really bad. The entire time he was here he would cry for them and tell us it was Easton's fault his mom and dad left him. It broke our hearts and cracked us right up at the same time. We want him to come again so we can show him a good time when he's feeling better!!

February in a nut shell!!

For February being such a short month, it's usually the longest month for me. But oh my how this year proved me wrong. It flew right on by!! In February Sophie finally mastered getting more food in her mouth instead of on her face!!
We spent lots of time out in the hot tub!! Syd spent the night and in the morning Ryan took them all out to warm up!

Abbi ready to get in the "cuzzi" as they call it!

Ryan celebrated his 36th birthday. I know there just isn't quite enough candles on the cake!! But you get what you get and you don't throw a fit...

I remember my mom leaving Valentines for us on the front porch and then running. I couldn't wait to do it for my kids, so first thing in the morning the doorbell was a ringing!! The kids loved it even though the chocolate tasted like wax!!

Look who came to the big town!!

Meet Austin my little sis' baby! He's our little chunky monkey! Jeannie and Austin came to help celebrate Ryan's birthday! We love this little big boy!

January Happenings

With January now behind us lets not forget a few of the things we did to get us through this cold month!! Warner and Abbi LOVE LOVE LOVE their baby sister. They would hate to leave her out of anything they did! So hey, why not build your Thomas the train track to go over the top of Sophie. It was a perfect idea and they all had a ball!! Sophie would just watch the train go back and forth over the top of her. Clever idea Warner and Abbi!!
Enjoying a family home evening with our cousin Syd. Can't quite remember what we talked about, but I remember the kids made their own white dove out of paper sacks. They love having Family Home Evening. Especially when Syd joins us!!

We made lots of cookies. This isn't just a January thing. You see Warner and I make it just for the cookie dough. The cookies are just an excuse!!

Sophie just enjoying the family in her bumbo! Poor girl has super dry skin.

We love the washable water colors. This is something the kids ask to do almost every day. It's a perfect activity while we wait for the sun to come out. Good bye January, hello February!

One more January Happenings!

One thing we did the month of January.....play dates with Lexi And Kaydence. Warner loves having all these girls around him!! We just put the blanket on the ground open the lunch box with all the sandwiches and have ourselves a picnic!!

Flat Stanley

This last week we had a visitor....Flat Stanley!! My niece Emree read about Flat Stanley in school and then made their own to travel the world. Emree's Flat Stanley came to Warner in Salina!!! Here are a few things we did while Stanley was in town!

We introduced him to the famous Mom's Cafe. They have the best homemade scones and honey butter!!
Warner took Stanley to school to meet his friends. He was worried they were going to want to hold him. As you can see he already has a broken arm. Not to worry, it didn't happen during his visit to Salina!

We took Stanley to the post office to pick up our mail. Pretty soon he will be mailed off to some where else to travel the world. This is where we will take him when it's time to go!

Stanley stayed by Warner's side while he got his hair cut. We have sure enjoyed his visit and hope to hear about all the places he gets to travel. Now he is off to Pennsylvania!!

6 months already

I've said it with every kid, but oh my how the time is flying. It's hard to believe that 6 months have come and gone. Sophie is just so much fun. I can't get over how much her brother and sister just love having her around. Sophie eats lots and lots of sweet potatoes, squash, rice cereal and bottles. She rolls ALL OVER THE HOUSE. It's time to get the gates out!! Just this week she has started to sit up on her own for 10 mins is the longest. Oh how we love you Sophie!!
