February Snow

Jackson and Ellee's Cousin, Parker, came over to play in the snow we got in February this year. The kids had a blast, sledding, making snowballs and even eating the snow, for some:) February's average temperature this year was 39 degrees...it was pretty cold for us, so I'm glad we're in the home stretch for Spring!

Block Pictures

I recently made these block pictures for Grandma McGowan's Birthday with the help of Shawn of course. (I don't know how to use his saw).

I really wish I had taken pictures along the way to show you how I did it, but lucky for you, I read how to on another blog. All ideas I owe to I heart naptime. (Very informative)

I don't have a cricuit or Silhouette, so that was a REAL Hassel. I had to cut out each vinyl letter and press them on seperately that I got at a local scrapbook store. (Had to buy two sets of letters since there weren't enough s's in one set). I think it was worth it though to get somewhat of the same look. Just recently discovered distress ink as well (from reading other's blogs) LOVE that stuff...it's around the edges.
I'm thinking I may attempt more for my Mom for Mother's Day.....We'll see!

Ellee & Mommy Date

My Sister-in-Law, Tina, and I took the kids to see the play, "Cinderella" in Sumner. Jackson didn't want to go, but Ellee sure did when she heard which play! She LOVES Cinderella right now. After, the kids were able to meet the Characters in the play. Ellee went right along with it and truly thought this was Cinderella and her Prince.

Will You Be My Valentine?

I worked Valentine's Day......So, my Sweet Valentine had this meal prepared for the kids and I when we got home! It was delish and the lobster was perfect!

We all enjoyed our meal together with a candlelit dinner. Jackson and Ellee thought that was pretty cool!

Thank You, I LOVE You, You are the Best my Valentine!

Conversations with Ellee....

The other day bringing Ellee home from the babysitter's house we had an interesting conversation.

Me: "Ellee, did you run away from Amy today?"

Ellee: "I was doing Hotch Squatch."

Me: "Did you listen to Amy though?"

Ellee: "It was an accident."

Me: "I'm not talking about when you peed your pants today."

Ellee: "Did I say that?"

What just happened? I think she made me forget the whole point of the conversation in the first place!!!

Ellee's recent words:

Gradulations.......Congratulations

Hotch Squatch.....Hop Scotch

Jackson's recent word:

Growhog.....Groundhog
