The Luck O' the Irish

On St. Patrick's Day we were visited my a sneaky leprechaun. He hid clovers all over the house that had clues leading to a yummy treasure. Hannah was super clever and found the treasure in the fridge!

For dinner Chad made some delicious chicken on the grill. The sneaky leprechaun returned and turned our noodles and milk green!

February Fill-In: Day 3

Random Pictures and Videos

Here are just some cute pictures from February. Grace is getting to be really smiley. We purchased a bumbo (the purple seat Grace is sitting in). She likes to sit in it while we are eating dinner. Hannah has been growing up so much. She is getting really good at brushing her own teeth. She has a new toothbrush that flashes lights for two minutes so she has to brush the whole time. In the top right of the little pictures Hannah and her friend's played with some make up. She was so proud of her skills, until she saw herself in the mirror. She said, "I look like a clown!"

Hannah learned this cute (and educational) song at preschool. Have I mentioned how much I love her preschool? It is great!

Along with being smiley, Grace is a giggle goose!

February Fill-In: Day 2

VALENTINE'S ACTIVITIES!

We had a fun Valentine's Holiday. It started with a party at Hannah's preschool and dance school. She wanted to make her own valentines. She did a great job and was VERY proud of them. She kept saying, "I know they are going to love these!" Grace and Hannah had super cute Valentine's outfits and Hannah had a special heart hairdo. We had pink heart-shaped pancakes with strawberry syrup. We also had to make our traditional sugar cookies. I used a new recipe this time and they were super yummy! Hannah's present was a heart-shaped pillow and some candy. Chad gave me a really nice gift...some fancy diamond and birthstone earrings. They are very nice and he is very sweet! We had a great holiday!

February Fill-In: Day 1

Wow! It has been a LLLLLOOOOONNNNGGGGG time! I figured that before March was over I should fill you in on our activities during February, so this week will be the February Fill-In!
One weekend a month Chad has to travel to Ogden, Utah for school. We decided to go with him and meet my sister, Angie and her family at The Treehouse Museum. It was fun to see them and spend time together. The kids had a blast looking at everything and I enjoyed chatting with my sister. She was even nice enough to carry Grace in the snuggie the whole time! The big picture above is especially for my dad, I thought he would like to see Hannah in a cowboy hat! I do have to mention though, this picture was taken moments before she burst into tears. She was terrified of being up on this little fake horse, so I am doubtful of her becoming a cowboy!

The weather has been so crazy lately, with sun one day and snow the next, so we have been trying to take advantage of the nice moments. One night for FHE we walked to a nearby park. it was a little chilly, but it felt so good to be outside.

We talked about God's creations and everything he has given us. On the walk Hannah was pointing out everything God made for us from trees to mailboxes! What a funny girl. Grace was happy and content the whole walk. We are looking forward to really warm weather so we can walk without her being covered the whole time!
