Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day was a fun one at our house. the kids had to wear red, of course, and then I served them up some red heart pancakes and eggs.

They each got their own little box of chocolates:

The cooking of the heart pancakes:
Then we made and decorated millions of heart cookies:

Then we made our very own heart-shaped pizzas. Yum!
I got Mike a new ring and he got me flowers and chocolate cinnamon bears (my fave!) We also went out to eat on the weekend and probably went to a movie or something (I can't remember!) I've got to keep up on this blog thing so I don't forget stuff! Yikes!

Haircut!

I'm finally posting the pics of Mia's haircut that we did in February. It was getting very long, but only in the back. She had what I like to call a Baby Mullet. And it was a fine one at that!

Now she has a cute little bob. It's so easy! Her hair isn't as thick as Asia's and it isn't as curly so it can just be wetted down with a spray bottle and looks as cute as can be. I like easy hairstyles!

And her eyes are starting to turn green like her daddy's! Beautiful!

Just Fun!

The local figure skating club has a free skating lesson day every year that we like to go to. It makes me feel like I'm instilling some Canadian roots into my children! The only pic I could get of Jacob was blurry. Sorry! He didn't like the one blade skates but was fine on the two bladed ones. Ethan is a natural:

Mia had so much fun and wanted to go around and around the whole time!

Asia and her friend Maddie.

Since Ethan turned 9, he was ready to advance from a wolf cub scout to a bear cub scout. He earned his wolf pin and 3 silver arrows.

Mia likes to dress up in daddy's sunglasses and gloves and take his keys when he comes home for lunch. She thinks it's hilarious!

And here's Asia with our AWESOME babysitter Hannah. Hannah always brings fun things for our kids to do. This time they built a tower out of index cards! It was amazing! And yes, Hannah is 7 years older than Asia! She's such a petite little thing! Or Asia is a Giant!

Just some fun stuff that we've been up to the last few months of winter. I'm almost caught up now! Phew! Just February and March to go... Stay Tuned... :)

Ethan's Friend Party!

This year Ethan decided it would be so fun to go roller skating for his friend party. They took him roller skating at Scouts and he's been bugging us ever since to take him again. It was actually really fun! The boys loved dancing to the music and seeing who was the fastest. I got to brush up on my rollerblading skillz as well! There was a lot of falling involved!

Fun times! I wonder what he'll want to do next year to celebrate the big 1-0!
