  February 14-  Happy Valentines! From this cute kindergartner.  

 

February 13- The question is:  Do I stop him from making more of a mess?  or  Do I just let him keeping doing it since he is happy and quiet?   Answer- Let him keep doing it!

 February 11- Our Annual Valentines Group Date!

Febrauary12- Legos!  A classic Sunday family activity.

 February 10- Josh helping Ammon read = Melt my mama heart 

February 9- Making the kids write valentines for classmates.  Some homework is pretty much torture to make the kids complete, this was one of those assignments.  

 

February 8- Just an ordinary night.  Kids being kids while dancing with their blankets.

 February 7-  I love this view.  I walked across the street to talk this picture.  From my kitchen window I can look out and see the lake.  Such a pretty area. 

 

 February 6th-  My morning view.  These are my little boys who are home all day with me.  They are so sweet. 

 
 February 5-  You have never seen somebody receive so much joy from punching out a hole on a piece of paper.  Every time Lincoln punched a hole he would get so excited!   I also wanted to include this picture to show what a great uncle Gary is.  He is so patient with those kids and spends time to play with them.  We were also laughing at Brandon that night for wanting to sit so close to his dad.  The rest of the couch was empty. 

 

February 4- This represents a hard days work for Ammon.  It was a beautiful sunset he was making for his Kindergarten teacher.  Notice all the flour that is around his stuff.  No matter what I'm doing they all like to be right next to me while doing their projects.  

 February 3- "I don't know Lincoln.  I think I like the orange lizard on my head better."

 February 2- My art boy!  When he gets an idea in his head he will make the same thing over and over and over.  He made so many of these penguins that day.  I always have a big mess on my desk, but I do love to see him so excited about something he creates. 

 

February 1- "Lincoln, do you think you can hand me that red car I like so much.  You are so much fun to play with."

 

January 31- Couponing!  Ahhhh!  I'm still so new to this but it is so addicting.  It's a lot of work but also exciting to see how much you can save.  

 

January 30- Hey everybody it's Family Night!  Or sometimes we call it, "Fetchy" since that's what the boys thought it was called for so long.  It looks like we are doing the 'show and tell' portion that has become a tradition.  

January 29- Making cinnamon rolls in a messy kitchen.  We always dress up Lincoln in his finest clothes when we make cinnamon rolls.  He wanted to cut the dough with dental floss just like me. 

January 28- GNO!  I wished this picture showed how much we all laughed that night.  We had such a blast being together.  It's nights like these that you are so thankful for good friends.  

 

January 27- Date Night!  We were already to walk out the door and then realized that Ammon was feeling sick and so we took his temperature...and ended up staying home for the night.  We were sad at first but ended up having a ton of fun dancing to old favorite songs that were significant to us.  James joined in on most of the dancing and I just had to take a picture of us.  

January 26-  It's an Ella day.  We loooove having Ella over to play with Lincoln.  Today she wanted to hold James.  

 

   January 25- We were watching home videos and were laughing that Joshua as a baby was wearing the same thing James was wearing that night. 

January 24-  Ammon wanted to hold James and it was so cute to find shortly after fast asleep.  

 
 January 23- Dad's first day of radiation and chemo.  It was a big day and I think we all wanted to be together so we went to my mom's class during her lunch break. 

January 22-  Another tooth gone!  His first two teeth came out in the same month after waiting soooo long. 

January 21-  Ammon was so cute while making this snowman. I watched him from afar as he rubbed snow between his two hands above the snowman to make it look like there was snow that had fallen on him. 

January 20th-  Babysitting the cousins is always easy with Dave around.  The boys love to wrestle him. 

19th James is my laundry buddy.  The mountain of laundry piles up through the day and I love to lay him down on my bed and talk to him while I fold.  

18th  Lincoln kept himself busy for a long time one morning with these grocery bags.  When I went to clean them up I realized he had put a small toy or two in each of them.  So cute.  I wonder what that little mind is thinking sometimes.   

17th  Diana was sweet enough to let me drop off my kids while I tried to go "couponing" for one of the first times. 

16th  I think it's time to buy this boy some new socks!

. 

15th  Ammon loves to get out the art kits that he got for Christmas almost every day.

14th Saturday morning chores.  The boys are giving David a report on their progress.

 

13th  At age 7 1/2 he lost his first tooth!  Finally!!  We've been waiting for this for a long time.  You can see that his permanent teeth have already starting coming in.  Between his two rows of teeth and his hair that sticks up in the back of his head like a fin we call this kid our, "Shark Boy".

12th  When the smoothie cup is bigger then his face do you think that it is too much?  Just kidding, he snagged my cup from me and helped himself. 

11th  A familiar sight these days.  Holding my baby while reading my new Kindle. 

 10th  Just like Dad!  I loved this night.  These boys wanted to hold their own little babies just like their Dad.  I'd love it if they turned out to be great Dad's just like their Dad.

9th  I came out of my room to find Lincoln saying, "Me fix Ella".  I was surprised that he knew what to do and really wanted to help.  She had a little scratch on her palm that she had probably already had for a few days. 

8th  My crazy Lincoln.  I love this smile he gives me. 

7th  Grandma Moss' 90th birthday celebration.  About 60 people showed up and it was really great to celebrate her life together.  At one point she even said, "Even people I don't know came."

 6th  My sweet little angel.  I'm trying to capture some of his first smiles on camera.  

5th Already being teased by his brothers.  Good thing he loves their attention. 

4th "I want you to come and play with me again."   We sent off the last of our Christmas visitors today.  The boys, especially Lincoln, loved meeting their new cousin Violet. 

3rd  Monopoly was the game of choice this holiday season.  Josh was constantly trying to get everyone and anyone to play with him. 

 

2nd Our sleeping arrangments while company is in town.  The boys loved this. 

1st  These are some of the wonderful people who came to be with us as we blessed our newest little angle James.  You are loved little boy.
