February life in pictures...

So excited February is over...it means we are that much closer to the end of tax season and nicer weather. Now hopefully March will go by just as quick...we are ready for more daddy time and outside playing.

Oaklee found almost every play phone we had in our house and had to have one in each pocket, then she had to take them with her when we walked to go pick up brother from preschool.  Her pants were about to fall off of her, so funny.

Oak's first self portrait! After she made the squigly line, she said, "That's my curly hair!" I can't even explain how much I love this!

One of our Taekwondo friends. She was adopted form Ethiopia. And she is just the cutest thing, we love her!

Babysitting for date night and trying to get the kids to calm down with a movie. Didn't work, they were up and running around with in 5 minutes of this picture being taken.

Oaklee with her cousin at the grandkid v-day party that Bryce's parents put on every year so the parents can all go on a date.

This is Bryce's parent's dog, Benji. McCoy isn't afraid of dogs, but he hasn't really liked Benji much because he is a bit of a hyper dog and gets really excited when visitors come and tends to be loud, pushy and jumpy. But Mac has finally made friends with him and has realized if he just lets Benji come and snuggle him a bit he calms down. I think this picture is just so sweet!

This was Oaklee really sad to wake up from her nap and find out she had to stay home with grandma instead of getting to go to taekwondo with mommy and brother. She LOVES to go and watch and play with all her friends there.

We have been pretty healthy in our house this year, but one night McCoy threw up and then had a slight fever and that was the end of it. I did however make him take it easy for at least 24 hours. He did not like it that much. He still had alot of energy for being sick.

Oaklee got a stamp at grandma's v-day party so we got some ink at the store and the kids went to town with it. You can see Oak got a little crazy and stamped up and down both of her arms. She got a bath after this.

Our neighbor friends ended up coming over for our v-day candle light dinner because their mom needed to take their dad to the hospital for an injury he got while working. All the kids loved it!

We have been having glow stick dance parties alot lately. This night we took lots of cool pictures, painting with the light of the glow sticks. Gotta love cheap entertainment.

Playing with neighbor friends on nice days. We can hardly wait for the real nice weather to show up!

Just a cute one of our cute girl!

v-day breakfast for the kids! Can you guess what there favorite part of it was?

McCoy drew this and exclaimed he could be a book writer (illustrator) because he had figured out how to make the ghost look like they were bumping into each other. What a little smarty pants. Love his little brain!

Oaklee turned two and a half. We can hardly believe it!

We decided we needed to go get a little wet and jump in the water at our favorite rock throwing place.

Oaklee's grandma bought her all of this ballerina stuff and she has loved it. It gets worn at least once a day for a few hours at a time. She goes around dancing and bowing all day long. Too much cute to handle!

 Oaklee has been a bit obsessed with her umbrella. Good things we aren't superstitious. 

My attempt to get in more pictures with my kids. 

We finally turned Oaklee's crib into a big girl bed. She has done wonderfully and loves it.

On our way to get brother from preschool we had to jump in a few puddles in the pouring down rain. It was way more fun in a tutu with an umbrella. 

My really good friend is certified to teach children yoga and she was holding a class at the library in a neighboring town. It sounded fun and we wanted to support her so we went. The kids loved it and my friend is amazing. She did a great job. While we were there there was a lady videoing it, but I didn't think much of it. The next day a friend in our ward texted me saying he saw our kids on the news. He emailed me the link and sure enough my kids were in the clip about the toddler yoga alot. It was so fun, and McCoy thought he was so cool because he was on the news.

McCoy tested for his yellow belt, and did such a great job! He was so excited to get his yellow belt and we are really proud at how hard he has worked.
