February 2015

February 4th at Intermountain Medical Center. Maggie came to hang out with me while Nelson had surgery. I got the chance to help her study anatomy on her laptop by quizzing her. Zzzzz.....Casey and Melanie came to visit me too. Then Darren came that night to help Nelson.

February 6th I was making waffles with my kids for breakfast. I couldn't find the lid to the oil after I used it. Pregnant lady problems.

 

Nelson couldn't use his left arm much after surgery but he was still able to attack voles in the yard with his right arm. He was obsessed and made me help. It was nasty.

Our friends brought us ice cream to cheer Nelson up and we told him "Life is like a bowl of cherries." Whatever that means. I have yet to know.

Millville Park on a Sunday afternoon. It was such a nice February.

This is Pete, our neighborhood grocer. We took a field trip to Lee's Marketplace for joyschool. We got donuts and that's the most important part. He let the kids pick out a donut and then said "Your turn, Moms" and we all cheered.  He's showing the kids how the bakers were making roses out of frosting. Notice how Evy is always taller than all the other kids?

 

Making sugar cookies at joyschool. Major mess and major delicious.

Coleman falls asleep in a weird place and or position almost daily. So I have a bazillion photos of him just waiting for a collage.

On Valentine's Day we went with the DeWitts to the Ogden Fish Farm. Major romantic.

Look at how Coleman stands near the ponds. I didn't get to relax for a minute. Mom woes. He also took off running a million times towards the next deep pond.

Evy got to go to a Kindergarten prep class for parents with me. She's super excited to start. She'll be 6 right after it starts. I loved looking at all the crazy made up Utah kids' names on their totes.

Evy putting makeup on Coleman in the most logical of places. He chose of course.

I just love how Coleman sits on the toilet.

We had dinner at Casey's one night and he made Asian food. He gave Evy dried seaweed and told her it was chips and she fell for it. Here she is chomping away.

Well folks, we joined the minivan club and I am happy to be a member. I can fit so much crap and so many hoodlums in here. It's fantastic. I might be a nerd but I saw a teenage boy driving a mini van right after I bought it and I thought to myself, "At least I am not him." One thing is for sure, I can't ever think someone might be checking me out. I know I will always be mistaken.

We bought the van in Brigham City so we took a walk around the temple after. My stomach is swallowing Evy's head.

We drove to Lehi right after buying it and Evy took this picture of me on our way down. I laughed when I found it in my phone because it screams "mini van mom".

Hanging out at my mom's. She famous for her junior mints ( and red sweaters).

We went with my friends Jessica, Kim and their kids to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. We forgot to take a picture of all of us pregnant. Oh well. Let's just say we each found a bench whenever we could.

Coleman. He's really into Star Wars clothes right now. Has he seen Star Wars? Nope.

Coleman and Winston channeling Spiderman and Darth Vader. They are a handful when they are together (and separate) Wowee Wow wow. I keep thinking to myself, what will they be like when they're 8? Or better yet, teenagers?
