End of February

February 28th~

Molly

It is always interesting when Molly gets a hold of my phone.  I was surprised to see that she had taken "duck lip" pictures of herself. 

She loves her music

Sam

He had been watching a movie in our bed

Playing fort with Daddy

Kids

When I try to relax it goes from this to...

I still let the kids sleep with me when Daddy is gone...they are just too cute when they are asleep!

More Piper

She is just too cute!!!

Drake is getting better with her.

  

Not touching, barely touching, touching!!!

And a little playing

Chris is a huge softy when it comes to this little one....

Sam even likes her now...for the most part!

  

Piper loves snow...

  

Princess for a Day

February 23rd~

Anna invited Molly and I to Paul Mitchell's Princess for a Day where Molly got her hair, makeup and nails done.

  

  

Julienna and Nora were also there...

    

After the girls were ready it was time to meet some princesses.  Everyone did an amazing job and the girls even got to sing and dance with everyone.

 

 

  

They even had coloring books and make your own crown activities.

Afterwards we met Daddy and some friends.  On the way there Molly said, "don't tell Daddy how beautiful I am, he is going to be so surprised!"

Sam's Delayed 3 Year Old Pictures

February 17th~

The holidays keep getting crazier and crazier as my two loves get bigger.  Since Sam got his picture taken at school this year, and the last two years we have done family pictures around the kids' birthdays, I kind of spaced getting Sam a professional 3 year picture, but figured better late than never!  Daddy took Sam to JcPenney and even though Sam was sick and grumpy got amazing pictures of our handsome boy!

  

Sam's Belated 3 Year Pictures

February 17th~

I figured better late than never for these pictures.  I couldn't remember if we were still doing professional birthday pictures or not since Sam gets his picture taken at school.  However, those did not turn out the best this year so I figured why not.

Daddy had the privilege of taking Sam to JC Penny's for these pictures and we were quite nervous.  He had been sick and fell asleep hard on the drive there, but I couldn't be happier with these pictures of our handsome boy!

  

Our Newest Family Member

February 16th~

I have been wanting a new puppy since about a year after we got Drake.  Then, this past year, I kicked into full gear with puppy fever.  I was searching daily and drove Chris crazy until I finally wore him down.  It helped that I finally found the perfect puppy.  She was from Colorado and her owner and I exchanged about fifty emails before we committed.  Here are some pictures her owner sent me.

The owner's son was driving to Boise to see family and kindly brought me our new baby, Piper!  I met him at work and she fell asleep on my lap on the drive home.

Daddy had prepared the kids to not overwhelm Piper when we first got home and they did awesome.  You could tell they wanted to explode with excitement but they held it together.

   

  

  

Molly's cuddle baby.

Drake loved her on day one, but was not so sure the next day when he realized she was just not a friend that would go away.

Sam was super excited and terrified all at the same time.  Sam would run towards Piper, excite her, she would run to Sam, then Sam would run away screaming bloody murder (hence no pictures).  After about a week he finally calmed down a bit.  

One day I found Piper under our bed with an old pacifier.  Sam has not had a pacifier in probably a year, but if he sees one, he will get upset saying he wants it back.  Not wanting to set Sam back with Piper, I quickly took some pictures, before taking the pacifier away so Sam wouldn't see.
