.mid February.

C.we made it.

.we made it this far being sick-free. 

.and let me tell you. It has been fabulous. 

.although I don't have too many pictures to prove just how awesome our month as been. Your just going to have to take my word for it.

.we have been busy- making messes. Cleaning. Making messes. Cleaning. Basketball for mommy. Mutual for daddy. Having a mini photoshoot done of the kiddos. Going light shopping for the house. Planning trips this summer, working on cars, praying they continue to run one more year. Making messes. Building with blocks. Climbing on the counter multiple times a day. Trying new places to eat. Celebrating my birthday (a few days early- okay it was an excuse to get out). Teaching the kids to put away toys, transitioning to nursery, cooking everyday (we stopped dinner swap due to how expensive it was). Getting Parker's cast off. Trying new acne product. Getting snow. Flying helicopters into our face. Spending time as family. Enjoying our weekends. Wishing they were longer. Paying off our student loans. 

.so that's us in a nutshell. I figure I will just post pictures up to date, and write a bit about each one. 

.but first. I have to say I am SO thrilled that we were able to pay off our student loan. We have had it for a year. Over that yeR we paid $1200 and it only paid off $250 of the loan, the rest went to interest. I about died when Andrew told me that. So between Andrews bonus and our tax return we were able to pay the entire thing off without touching our savings. As much as I would if liked to see thAt money used around the house, towards a cruise, and in savings. I am beyond excited we were able to pay it off and not touch savings in doing so.

.wahoo.

"Mom-I'm a princess"

Loved her hair. It was SO cute.

B running into the corner of the dresser.

B BEGS to change Parker daily. 

B LOVES building towers. I was totally impressed when she showed me this, all by herself.

It snowed at our house. This is the snow close up. Dippin dots anyone !!?!

Obviously it was a long day . Fell asleep in the closet under the stairs

This kid is....

Trouble!!! 

Girl stuck in the swing. It took like 7 firefighters to get her out. Over 25 minutes. It was ridiculous. 

We had a family weekend. Full of light fixture shopping, Thai food and a sees candy stop... The kids LOVED the suckers they got for samples. I wasn't too happy. 

My pretty valentine ready for church.

My other valentine. He was not happy about taking a picture earlier with his sister. Also, Andrew LOVES his hair parted and slicked down like a missionary. 

See the mark on his nose and lip?! He flew his helicopter into his face!! He had scabs for a week. Poor kid. 

McFlurry. One of my four favorite things I enjoyed in the last hours of being 24. 

I spent time with family. 

Headed to basketball. 

Ate a piece or two of Sees.

Ate a mcflurry.
