Happy Valentines Day!

This past Tuesday the boys started swimming lessons at Foss Swim School. They love it and they are doing awesome!

On Wednesday I enjoyed volunteering during Eli's class Valentines party with some other moms.

Sam is one of Eli's closest friends, they love to play together. I really enjoyed spending time with his mother Jamie.

Henry is another good friend to Eli at school.

Brian and the boys gave me some beautiful flowers on Valentines Day.

The boys wanted a picture of their geode collection. They received a rose gold one for Valentines Day.

We celebrated Eli's 6th birthday at Papa and Nana's house because last fall we were in the middle of showing our old house to sell. It was a fun celebration. Enjoy!

Early February

A week ago I took the boys in for their yearly dental check ups. They both did great and have no cavities! 

Yesterday the boys helped me bake Valentines cookies and our favorite peanut butter chocolate chips mini muffins. Notice Eli's shifty eyes, he was ready to eat them up!

The boys digging up a shark tooth kit that they earned for good behavior. 

Silly faces!

The other day I took Eli to get his hair cut and out for a lunch date. He is my favorite 6 year old!

Asa is really good at putting puzzles together. We put this map of the world puzzle together one afternoon during Greta's nap time.

All ready for church! We love them more than they could ever know.

We had a family day yesterday and it was our Valentines Day celebration as a family. We took the kids to Springbrook Nature Center in the morning and we got the opportunity to make survival bracelets together. After that we went out to Chick-fil-A for lunch, they love to play in the play land together. We came home and Brian put Greta down for a nap while the boys helped me back cookies and muffins. Then we gave the kids their Valentines gifts. It was a special day, we love our family days together. 

Greta received a tea time gift for Valentines Day. She loves her coffee time gift so much I just had to give her the tea one to enjoy too. We gave the boys different kids of geodes to open for Valentines Day. They are really into special rocks, like their Papa!

Tea time!

A week ago Eli had Creative Expression night at his school. He and his kindergarten classmates each got up and performed a poem for the class. Eli performed the poem, "I have a Little Frog". He did an amazing job! We are so proud of him!

  

This past Thursday Eli had his good friend Luke from school over to play. It was cold outside, yet 

they played outside for a long time! 

On Friday we dropped Eli off at school and then went to visit my dear friend Molly who recently had her second baby. It was fun to chat, watch our kids play together, and hold sweet baby Clara. 

The other day I met up with my friends Jessica and Jenni at Pump It Up for a playdate for our kids. They loved it and we got to talk the whole time!

Another picture of the puzzle!
