Photos in the Round

I don't think I've ever acknowledged how much I love the eclectic, yet organized photo display that my reluctantly artistic husband created. If I were to plan this photo, I would place the pillows more carefully and have Doug put down his phone, but even ignoring that, look how cute our house is!

I think he loves me. :-)

Pics of kidlets

Kara is on my case about not keeping kidlet pics updated, so here are some recent ones:

Levi and Missy

Doug beating Levi up after a snowball battle (trust me, they are both enjoying this)

Our front yard makes for great sledding/rolling/falling

Paige's favorite is to have someone push her "penguin style"

How adorable is this?!  We babysit Kain a couple days a week and she begs to carry him in the sling!

Valentine's Activities

It has already been a busy Valentine's week.  We went to the annual FoMM Cookie Day at the Capitol.  The kids were so well-behaved, I was proud to have them to show off.  Mostly, they were just there for the cookies and pizza. :-)

 

We also went to a party at our new friends' house.  I knew Paige would have a great time, and she did. 

 

I was afraid Levi would be bored so I let him bring a book and this is how he started the party:

  

BUT! In a surprise move, he actually had fun, too!  He did a scavenger hunt with the other big kids (three girls his age) and even stood still and let a younger kid make him into a snowman with toilet paper for a game.

That's Eowyn (it's her house, too)

  

Paige's snowman (er, snowgirl). It's melting. :-)

  

The process

 

The finished snowman (notice the black buttons and orange nose taped on)

Picture catch up

Here are all the pictures I would have posted if I was a responsible blog host (they are pretty self-explanatory):
