February 14 - Love Day

Andlie wore a cute Valentine's outfit to all three days of preschool this week.

Andlie's Valentines for her class & teacher and her box with all of her loot!

Making Valentine's sugar cookies!

Traditional holiday balloons.  Haze enjoyed them.

Valentine's Day gifts!

Our Three True Loves

Be Mine

Andlie's tongue is sticking out as she prepares the Valentines for her class.

Haze prefers frosting over cookies.  By far.  Note that he is using his spoon to eat the frosting like ice cream.  Who cares about the cookie?  Not him.

Haze has a new smile for the camera.  It's a real gem.  

Nora really seemed happy about her striped bear when Andlie was showing it to her.

Andlie got a package of mini nail polishes and the handle to the box had beads on it.  She wanted to take the polish out & throw the box away, but she asked if we could keep the beads.  So, we cut them off & noticed they only made a tiny bracelet.  Andlie immediately said, "Awe, it's so little.  Let's give it to Nora."

When I pulled out the heart shaped pizza for lunch, Andlie said, "Thanks, Mom!  You're the best Mom I ever had!"

Bryan also got a gift from me - a New Orleans Saints blanket!

Haze still hates to have his picture taken.

I'm embarrassed by the kissy face pics, but I'm pretty happy with/proud of my new makeup.  Don't judge.

February 13 - Safe Place

Haze's safe place is behind the rocking chair.  This morning, he got behind it so he could "hide from the yogurt (ogre) on 'Super Readers.'"  And this evening, he hid there so he could suck on his bink without being asked to take it out of his mouth.  Sometimes, a boy just needs a bink fix.

February 12 - Climbing & Smiling

Guys, Haze has no fear.  And he is very spontaneous.  So, today when I was feeding Nora and Andlie was at preschool, he knew he held the power to do whatever he wanted.  I was trapped & Andlie was gone.  So he pulled this move right before my eyes.  I couldn't help but laugh.  When I asked him what he was doing, he said, "Getting the remote control!"

And, Nora.  That girl.  She just has us wrapped around her fingers.  But, I mean, look at that face. Now she's wrapped around yours too, huh?

February 11 - Snow Pants & Zebra

Andlie & Haze got new snow pants today!  Obviously, that means that they have to go on first thing in the morning so they can test them out!  They came to the door & knocked so I would answer and then stood there in their new snow pants looking all adorable.

And while Andlie & Haze were having outside adventures, Nora stayed indoors with Mommy and visited her favorite pal - the zebra on her swing mobile!  She just loves him!  She talks to him & smiles all him all day long!

February 10 - Peeking

Me & Andlie watched a movie this afternoon while the other two littles slept and it rained outside.  I looked over and saw this cute little face peeking out of the blanket & had to snap a picture.

February 9 - Primary Talk

Mommy loves Nora!

Also noteworthy from today: Andlie gave her very first talk in Primary!

As part of Heavenly Father’s plan, we needed to leave Heaven, so He told Jesus to create the earth for us.  They created the sun, moon, water, plants, and animals.

They planned carefully so there would be food, water, and everything we would need in our earthly home. Each child who comes to earth is blessed by the beautiful world Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ created.

I am thankful that Heavenly Father & Jesus created this pretty earth for me to live in.

February 8 - Grama & Grampa Visit

Grama & Grampa arrived last night!  We played & played all day today!  We sure love, adore, and admire them!
