February 2015

Yes, yes... another photo dump. I will hopefully be better about not doing this as often when I am caught up with all our family pictures.

We made Strawberry Fluff one night and Garrett was just as much in love with this stuff as I am. He loved it! This is one of my all-time favorite desserts!

Getting ready for church. Apparently Garrett
wanted to wear Dad's BYU hat to nursery.

He looked like he was gonna fall asleep
just looking at his dinner.

Our little piano player/singer!

Riding scooters at the park!

Morning jog to feed the ducks.

Date night to the Gilbert Temple.

I guess both Kimbri and Garrett played so hard that they need a little nap on the couch. We were reading books and within just a few minutes of each other they both fell asleep!

He loves corn salsa!

They love this game but I hate it because it
takes forever to set up and they break all
the ice in about 4 seconds. Haha :)

Dress ups! This happens often at our house.

Garrett snuck out of bed and squeezed in next
 to daddy, studying on the hallway floor.

He is a cereal lover, just like dad.

Awesome clouds!

Garrett loves blackberries!

Watching dinner cook in the oven.

Twice-baked potatoes!

He likes to use his dog as a pillow.

Finger Painting

Not long ago we whipped up a batch of homemade finger paint and the kids went to town with it. We pulled out some pages from a coloring book and they spent forever "painting" and having a blast! It's such an easy recipe and makes for a fun activity for them to do :)

Happy Valentines!

The kids woke up and had a few Valentines treats waiting for them! We also let them have powdered sugar donuts for breakfast and they were in heaven!

Then they helped me pour the ingredients in a big bowl so we could make triple berry muffins. They love to sit on chairs and watch whatever is baking in the oven. 

They pretty much stayed in their jammies all day. Here is the "fort" they made with basically every pillow, blanket, and stuffed animal to be found in the whole house. It wasn't very fun to clean up but they sure had a blast making and playing in it.

We also announced our pregnancy on Valentines Day with this valentine. We did FaceTime with our families and told them that Kimbri had a valentine to show them. We held it up to the screen and it was so funny to see everyone's reactions when they realized what the picture was of. Haha! We had just had an ultrasound at my appointment earlier in the week and everything looked good so we were excited to share the news! 

Later that night, Rick and I got to go on a quick Valentines Day date. We did dinner and dessert and then had to get back home for Rick to get some more studying done for an upcoming test, but it was a great Valentines date! 

We went to one of my favorite restaurants here in Arizona that my dad introduced us to when we moved here called Si Señor. It is SO yummy! And then we splurged and got Cold Stone ice cream afterward. It was a fun Valentines Day!

Phoenix Children's Museum

We had another fun day at the Children's Museum! The weather was perfect for some time spent in their outdoor section of the museum. We love having a pass to the Children's Museum! The kids LOVE it! 

On our way home we were driving in the carpool lane and kimbri looked over and pointed to that big semi truck and said, "Look mommy, that truck has some big tape on the back!" Haha! It's so funny what goes through kids minds and their perception of the world. 

We also decided to stop for ice cream cones on the way home. The kids were in love the instant it touched their tongues. And even though it made for a HUGE mess, it was all worth it to see how excited they were about the ice cream!
