Love them

 Stopping his crazy game of don't let that balloon drop just because I was taking his picture.  Yep, he's at that age.

 Sarah relaxed while doing a little harmonica playing

While the boys were at archery (Andrew did awesome!) we had a little girly time with pedicures.

It was Sarah's first time & she sat PERFECTLY still the entire time.  She was SO excited & kept kicking up her foot to show off her toes to any visitors for days after!  Note to self:  painting toenails is tricky when they're wearing footie pajamas.

The girls

I mustache you a question...

 Do these girls seem suspicious to you?

 Hours of fun with these!

 Sarah liked it best as a beard.

Earning her keep

 Look who decided to "set the table" for dinner all by herself?

Mardi Gras

 We had Rebecca's Little Flowers group over for a Mardi Gras celebration.  Pulled out revised versions of the Minute-to-Win-It games from Andrew's St. Valentine's Day party & they LOVED it!  It was even more fun watching the moms compete this time, too.  I think the hula hoop contest was my favorite!  Everyone brought goodies to share that they were giving up for Lent (starting the next day) & we chowed down while we played. 

 Love that Rebecca has such sweet little friends & that they have such awesome mamas!

I hope we can make this a yearly tradition. Lots of fun!

3 years

Febuary 15th was the 3rd anniversary of our little Zachary's entrance into Heaven.  We celebrated our little saint with a visit to the cemetery & dinner out as a family.

 Sarah REALLY got into her meal!

We played a few rounds of Crazy 8s & enjoyed the cool aquarium while we waited.  Dinner was delicious, everyone was well-behaved, & it was a happy evening.

Love you forever, sweet baby!  Until we meet again.

St. John's Fabulous Casino

 Had a great time at the Endowment Dinner with these party animals!  Our first date on Valentine's Day in a LONG time, too!

Love is in the air...

 Teresa's "lovebug" valentines

 Andrew's "Smartie Pants" valentines

 Rebecca's "lovebird" valentines

 We haven't been able to make a valentine box for school for ages, so it was really fun when we had the chance this year for Rebecca.  I love how her hippo turned out!

 Sarah & I joined Andrew for his class party.  They played a bunch of minute to win it games & it was a blast!  Here is "The Tower of Love" cup stacking

 "Your Sweet Face" where you have to get a cookie from your forehead to your mouth with no hands

 and "Cupid's Arrows" shooting Q-tips through a straw.  Hilarious!

We caught the end of Rebecca's party, too.  She made this pretty heart decoration.  Such a fun day!

Art Club

 It's been another fun year of Art Club!  Here are some of our February creations.  We used crayon on sandpaper to make Sacred or Immaculate Hearts & then melted them.  They turned out super cool.

Brooks

Welcome to our newest nephew, Brooks Greyson!

We were blest to attend his Baptism & celebrate together.  What a cutie!

Congratulations, Katie & Brad!

Trivia Night take #2

Our 2nd try at Trivia Night for the year was awesome.  We didn't score as well as our first (94 out of 100!) not really even close, but my goodness we had fun.  Thanks for asking us, Jen!

On target

 Andrew's favorite gift from Christmas was an archery class from his Godparents.  He's shooting once or twice a week with one of his best buddies.  So awesome!  He's getting better every time.  This was his first tournament ever & he improved his score by 16 points!

This is a sport I would be okay with him doing for a LONG time.  Low cost, low time commitment, good strength training, common interest with uncles & cousins, good kids, & lots of fun!

Snow day!

 

No snow day is complete without "snow ice cream" & ninja warrior training.

Catholic Schools Week

 More Catholic Schools Week fun...

freethrow contest on Neon Day

 Rebecca made it to the final five!

 They had an academic fair for all to visit.  It was neat to see some of the things that all the different classes are working on.

 Rebecca with one of her favorite teachers... she has two sharing the position this year.  And they're both expecting!  She thinking they are pretty awesome.
