Late Nights

The families in my neighborhood don't do sleepovers which I am completely good with. Late nights have replaced them and I couldn't be more happy about that. It is a fun filled night with dinner, games and a movie and it all ends at 9:00. Then the friends go home and it's bedtime. James and Lynnlee had a late night with their friends who are siblings. It was a really fun night!

The minis got to benefit from the late night as well. They loved their cups of popcorn!

Weekly Minis

The Minis are getting better at posing for pictures.

I don't get to play the piano much because I have lots of little competition.

I took Lynnlee, Kaden and the Minis to the dinosaur museum last week. I didn't take a stroller and it all worked out really well with the minis not running in opposite directions. They were just taking it all in and keeping a close eye on me. It was a really fun outing!

It may be below freezing outside but we are loving going outside in the afternoons.

Lately at least one of the minis always wants held. I have to remind myself to enjoy it since they are the babies of the family. It is exhausting though always holding one or sometimes both.

The minis love standing by the window and watching for James and Lynnlee. Once they see them they giggle and get really excited. Sienna is starting to say a lot of words and is like our family parrot repeating everything you say. Taggart is more quiet but today I said Vroom and he said vrooooo!

Farrs's Fresh

Ali and Dan are in China this week so my mom is watching her kids. It's so fun to have her close by. We all loaded up in my car and got ice cream one afternoon. Then all of the cousins played at Ali's house after. Good times!

Skype

Thank goodness for technology! We talked with a family from Marshall's mission on Skype. It was so fun to meet them and for fun for my kids to hear Marshall speak Japanese.

Sewing Projects

I work on sewing projects here and there. My most recent projects are Valentine pillow cases for Kaden and the Minis and a grocer bag holder. It was nice that they were smaller and easier projects I could get done in a short amount of time.

Bowling Hang Out

We had a great time going bowling with Miranda's family last week. The cousins had so much fun playing together. If only they lived closer!

Story Time

We went to the library to get books last week and story time was starting. We decided to try it out. It is a good thing I snapped this picture of the minis when I did because they only lasted for about two minutes. They wandered the rest of the time.

Lynnlee's Bob

Lynnlee has her hair chopped every few years. It's fun to see the before and after pictures.
