February

Papi got Esther a new hat :)
new hat for Annika too. He got Benson a squishy ball
some fun in our yard while Papi babysat







poor sick babe. The only thing that's all right about her being sick is all the cuddles and falling asleep on daddy.

Accessorize!

Dentist trip! Cavity free girl

one cavity for Benson :( (his first)



Esther is wearing a one piece outfit, but it still looks like three in footie pjs

choke hold on GHD!

We had Annika's long anticipated GHD party! It was so fun and simple.

Piñata time!



Annika made a handful of invites in mid January. She is the most darling party planner

original GHD jokes by Annika :)

Traditional GHD dirt in a cup!




This was one of Annika's dresses from Aunt Anya. I love it!

goofball! I love these slippers he picked out :)



Ugh! Esther's new trick was cute the first time. She scoots a chair over to the garbage can, climbs up, and accesses the cabinets with binkies and candy in them. 

Watching daddy and the kids play. Surprisingly and thankfully, she has been just fine with watching them from the window.

crazy icy roads this winter

cutie pie in her karate ghi

T25 workout buddies!



They are putting in irrigation pipe and burying the ditch this winter. It's been quite a project. For a few days, our main driveway access was completely inaccessible as they were place pipe through there. The kids have loved watching all the big equipment. And I'm so happy that I don't have to worry about the kids drowning in the ditch anymore! David and his siblings are sad to see part of their childhood buried.

sweet Annika made and wrapped Valentine's Day gifts for everyone!


heart pizza for V day!

Benson made me a "bed" and took my picture :) 

loves these babies! 

Esther is the sweetest hugger mugger. 

irrigation line work in our driveway

one of her best outfits

can't have too much cheetah print

this girl LOVES cooked broccoli and doesn't mind having a messy face :)

"Esther, get off the table!"said multiple times a day.


some candid kitchen action caught on camera by Benson :)

Annika has been doing lots of water color painting. I think she does a great job and some of her art, like this one, really cracks me up!

Annika made Gma Stock a jingle bell ringing thing to hang from her door for her birthday :) She found a stick outside and painted it and then hung yarn with jingle bells at the bottom from the stick.
