Month: February 2013

After school, the boys raced home and did their jobs QUICK, so they could Building the annual sledding hill and snow cave.

After shoveling for easily 2 hours, I watched from inside, 🙂 as they played.

I love to complete things, and find great joy in finishing up a job.

So I had to take a picture of me finishing up Tucker’s Classes Homework. I’m grateful that I have a chance to volunteer and help his classroom out! 🙂

for providing us with this gem:

Masking tape race track. Perfect for a bitter cold snowy day!

To say Elliot loved this, was an understatement!

To have such awesome big brothers, who help her get dressed and ready, while I am busy shoveling the crazy, crazy 3 feet of snow! 🙂

They helped her choose our her clothes, (backyardigan shirt and minnie mouse pants) and did her hair.

I hope she realizes some day how Lucky she is to have such awesome big brothers.

I never knew I would love TEXTING with TUCK! But I do! So grateful for the chance to be able to talk to my son, in any and every way possible.

And it’s fun also because he texts the way he talks. I love it. And I love him.

at the BYU art Museum.

Toph was presenting, so the kids and I joined him. We went to the art museum, and they had a Andy Warhol art exhibit, I was excited to share my knowledge of Art History with them.

The kids favorite part, BY FAR, was finding the mylar balloons and fans.

Lorelei is pretty cute in her stroller

Then afterwords, we went to Wendy’s for a frosty: yum. 🙂

Fourth Graders were in charge of decorating the hallway, and I found Tuckers ‘art’

Love understanding his self image.

I was airing out rooms, and forgot to close the window. The kids were alittle cold, so Truman got ready for bed, complete with two layers of clothing and socks on hands and feet.

Love, Love, Love this Crazy Dressing Boy!

Toph was sweeping the floor, and the kiddos promptly RAN and grabbed their tools (Lorelei grabbed her ‘vacuums’ and Elliot found the other broom)

So fun to see them wanting to try to help!

And later that day, watching home movies while I made dinner:

Lorelei learned how to do flips out of her crib, so it was time to convert to a toddler bed, and she LOVES it. (especially able to jump in it)

And I am happy to say, that she has been our easiest ‘big kid bed’ converter. She is a real champ, and totally stays in!
