Thinking Outside the Box!

Check out the brilliance of our son!

"Look Mom! I got the first hippo to the last hippo!"

Now that's thinking outside the box!

Daisey, the hair stylist!

This girl has talent! And a very patient uncle and brother!

Feel free to call for an appointment today! :)

February fun!

February is almost over. Here's what we've been up to this month:

On February 1st I turned 29! Just ask my kids, "that's really really old"! I had fun celebrating with family and friends!

My family at Mandarin Garden for a birthday dinner for Valerie and I

Daisey, me, my mom and Val

Val and Dad

Cousins! Ethan and Isaac

how hot is my husband in his work uniform? :)

We took the kids to see "Bolt" at the movie theater. Cute flick! I think we'll have to buy that one when it comes out!
We made these masks after searching for a "fun craft" at Walmart. Frankly, they kind of freak me out! Especially when I'm talking on the phone at night in a dark room and seeing one of those masks "floating" toward me at about 3 feet high! haha

Maggie has been really sick. If having the croupe wasn't bad enough, she got a raging urinary tract infection that kept her pretty miserable for a few days! Poor baby!
We had a very happy Valentine's Day involving cookies and chocolates and flowers!

cookies and cuppycakes!

Pretty flowers! Pretty Maggie!

Eww! Gross mom!

The Toothless Wonder!

Very loose tooth....

And it's out!

Isn't she cute?!

And weird? hehe

Snow much fun!

Playing in the snow, snowflakes on my nose, mittens, hot chocolate, flannel pajamas, snowmen, snow angels, sledding, snow on Christmas......those are the things I love about winter!

What are the things I absolutely cannot stand about winter? Well, I'm glad you asked! Driving in the snow, drivers that don't know how to drive in the snow and simply shouldn't be driving in the snow, the cold, scraping my windshield, the cold, 3 little runny noses, my own runny nose, the cold, shoveling the driveway, the damn snow plow that plows by right after the driveway is shoveled, the cold, slipping on the ice, falling on my bum, the winter germs that rotate through my house throughout the season and did I mention the cold?

But, we have had some fun times! The kids would live outside until their toes turned blue and fell off and they'd still be happy! How cute do they look in their snowsuits? I love those sweet rosy cheeks!

Ok, so the last one is a little scary! Wasn't Isaac nice to loan me his ski mask?

Robert bought himself his own Christmas present this year. It's a snow blower that I like to call to call Bruce, the Snow King. He's just a little guy but he's a trooper and gets the job done!

Three Candles on her Cake!

Or three candles on her waffle in this case!

We celebrated from the moment Miss Maggie woke up to the moment she fell asleep!

Thrilled to be three!

Happy Birthday presents!

How cute is that little pink couch and

the "Cherry Blossom Market"?

How cute is that little princess smile?

Hooray for birthday cupcakes!
Make a wish Mags!

What a happy Birthday Girl!
What a happy day!

Happy Birthday Maggie (better late than never!)

Happy Birthday Maggie Mo! I can't believe you're 3! Well, 3 going on 13! You insist that you are just as old as Daisey and Isaac and that you can do everything that they can do!
You love your brother and sister and want to be just like them! And they sure love you! It warms my heart to see you laughing and playing together!
I don't know what we ever did without you! You fill our lives with sunshine every day with your hugs and your silliness! You have so much love in that little heart of your's! May you always hold on to that love and kindness. We love you little one!
Love, Mom

Baby Maggie
