Happy Valentine's Day

We always love to do a little something for the girls on different holidays.  For Valentine's Day, they woke up to pink pancakes and a fun little surprise for them.  We also got to cook and decorate cookies with some of our neighborhood friends.  Since Jacob had to work, these little cuties were my date for the night and we watched a movie in bed.  I love my family!

Emma as Betsy Ross

Emma had a history project at school where she had to pick a famous person and then make a poster all about that person and present it to the class.  She picked Betsy Ross so we dressed her up and went to school to listen to her presentation.  We also got to enjoy Emma's class perform a song at the morning assembly and watch Emma play her beloved tether-ball with her friends.  Emma is really shy so we were really proud of her for getting up and presenting her poster to the class.

Volunteering at School

I've said it  before, and I'll say it again.  I love being able to volunteer at the girl's school.  It gives me such a wonderful opportunity to be a part of fun days like this!  Papa Murphy's does a really cute program where they teach the student's how to make pizza and then they get to eat it.  Emma was so excited that she brought her own apron so her teacher made sure to choose her to help.  They even got a certificate afterwards for a free pizza.

I also got to help Maddie's class with their 100 day celebration.  I helped them make necklaces with 100 fruit loops, stamp 100 dots on a paper and share the 100 items that they brought.  I love being there for my girls.

Lincoln's First Big Boy bath and other pics

Here are a few pics of Lincoln taking his first big boy bath, finally sitting up, and just being cute!

Neighborhood Friends

We love living in our neighborhood where are friends are just across the street or next door to us.  It makes it so easy and so fun!  Here are a few pics of the friends in action!

Sleeping Arrangements

The sleeping arrangements in our house always make for a fun time.  Because Linc is the only boy, and a baby, he is in his own room right now.  That means that Emma, Maddie and Kenna all have to share.  They love it but it does become a problem at night when Kenna consistently bothers Maddie when trying to go to sleep.  I always tell Maddie to turn over and try to ignore Kenna.  This is one of those times when Maddie tried to do that and even put a blanket over her head.  Kenna decided to join and copy her and they fell asleep like this.  If you look closely, you can see that Kenna is wearing the red pants and you can see her hair underneath the pick blanket.  Maddie is under the yellow blanket wearing  blue pajamas and you can only see her arm.  Totally looks like it is only one kid which makes me laugh!

Lincoln Update

Here are some updated pics of Lincoln.  He is still trying to figure out how to sit up on his own but we are getting there. He is the cutest boy I have ever seen but his large head makes him a little wobbly!  Also, I need to document the story of that pink bouncer.  It is one of his favorite places to be.  He is getting too long for it but he loves to kick his foot and bounce himself.  One of the funniest things I have seen and everyone comments on how funny it is!
