.February 2017

February is always a happenin' month for us! We love V Day, of course… and these two are killin it with their cuteness.

My Valentine cooked us a delicious waffle-bacon-egg breakfast with a pink frapacchino smoothie. He is the best. ↓↓↓

And as tradition dictates we went for a sushi dinner date ↓↓↓

This was a funny valentine from my Mom for the kids ↓↓↓

I turned 32! We had a lot of fun celebrating my Birthday on the day after my birthday since that's when Aaron didn't work. I am so lucky to have these people loving me…

I blew out my candles and the kids felt left out… so we did it again together ↓↓↓

Then a dance party of course ↓↓↓

I got some nail polish from my mom-in-law for my birthday so Alice and I gave ourselves mani-pedi's ↓↓↓

We went to the Living Planet Aquarium in February with our friends Jordan and Rhys. It was so much fun ↓↓↓

↓↓↓ This is what 16lbs of ground beef ready for the freezer looks like at our house. There was a really good sale//Ames and his buddy Rhys playing outside in the freezing cold ↓↓↓

↓↓↓ Alice got her first tats//a new floral headband from Grandma ↓↓↓

↓↓↓ Alice is so funny she's saying "hulk smash" in a monster voice//Aaron wanted to try out the children's ride at the indoor playground ↓↓↓

↓↓↓ We spent family day at the Meadows rec center and library and had way too much fun ↓↓↓

↓↓↓ Ames's drawing of a round house with yellow windows, grass and a tree, a blue playground, a rainbow, happy sun and clouds is adorable//his prayers are even more adorable. ↓↓↓

Ames invented a new word a while back and it has gained a spot in our regular vocabulary over here. "Forgetter-eruptor" NOUN: Someone who forgets things. I'll use it in a sentence: "Don't worry, I'll remember because I'm not a forgetter-eruptor".

↓↓↓ Tara graduated from BYU-Hawaii and the whole family made it out there to see her. Wish we coulda gone, but it was awesome watching the ceremony streamed over the internet!//My sweet cuddly kids ↓↓↓

And here are all of our "after-church pics" from the month ↓↓↓

.January 2017

I'm starting this post with the MAIN event of January, which is of course, Air's Bday. Even though his Birthday is at the end of the month, I just wanted to highlight it at the top here. I love him that much I guess.

Here are some of Air's many (devastatingly handsome) faces↓↓↓

For his birthday, all he wanted to do was go to a Chinese buffet. This is always his favorite thing to do↓↓↓

And now for the rest of our random photos from January:

↓↓↓ Alice still sleep-eats on the regular//and she loves dance parties↓↓↓

↓↓↓ We had so much fun at Millennium Place in Sherwood Park swimming and playing at the indoor playground//Alice had a fever and hot pink cheeks for a couple days, and sure enough, she had some big molars coming in!↓↓↓

↓↓↓ I found the key to their hearts when I started baking cookies now and then

↓↓↓ We spent a day all together at the John Janzen Nature Center with Tam and Jake and our friends the Caddy's. We love this place!

↓↓↓ just some snapchat videos

↓↓↓ We built a snowman he had a mustache

↓↓↓ I love it when kids find comfy spots in weird places

↓↓↓ Air's best friend Kyle got married. We love weddings!//Our kids love tubing, and this little tube was worth every penny, although it was shockingly cheap ↓↓↓

↓↓↓ One of Alice's favorite hobby's—laying in my spot on the bed with a show on my phone

↓↓↓ more sledding and tubing

↓↓↓ For forever Alice has been sitting in her high chair like this and it reminds me of how Ellen Degeneres sits in her chair at the beginning of her show!

↓↓↓ Alice is hilarious and loves to make us laugh all the time//Our snowman melted away on one side and became paper thin without ever falling down. It was incredible ↓↓↓

↓↓↓ Here is a compilation of this month's "after church pics"
