February 2014

Our February went by in a flash!!!  We(meaning the kids) had many days of basketball, gymnastics, volleyball, piano, and guitar.  On most days I feel like a taxi driver.  I do like having my kids in activities and feel it is important for them.  Our kids are growing so fast and some days I can't believe that Jake and I get to raise these kids together.  Someday I am not sure we are doing the best job as parents, but we love them more than anything!  Here are some of the highlights for this month:

The girls are out of school on Monday. So we decided to meet Susan and her girls at the roller skating rink. Jake was able to get off work a little early….surprised! The kids had so much fun rollerskating and rollerblading. Madelyn did great on her roller skates! We roller skated for three hours. We then went to Chuck a Rama, which the kids have never been to before. They couldn't believe you can get and eat all the food you wanted including pop and Slurpee's!  Jake and I do not like the place. We didn't find the food good but  the kids thought it was awesome!  It was fun to hang out with Susan and her girls my kids adore both of their girls.  It was fun to spend the day with Jake and have the kids out of school.   Jace actually had school on Presidents' Day, they do not get the day off because they don't have school on Fridays.  We checked him out of school early.

We love Valentines Day at our house.  We made our own valentines for the girls this year.  Jace was too old for valentines to give to all his friends.  

These two kids love their little brother. He is so good to them and takes great care of them!

This little boy is our Love Machine!  We love him and we can't get enough of him!

ohhh!  I love my Jaggy boy!

We went to Boise the last weekend in February.  We stayed with Jeff and Tresa.  We don't make it over to Boise as much as we would like, so we were glad we could go.  We were able to watch Ryan play and that was great.  He's a great ball player.   

While we were Boise we got to go to the Girls State Basketball Tournment.  Ririe and Firth were both at the tournment, so it was fun to watch them.  

Jagger loved chasing around the sheep at the Ball's house.

This never happens.  When Jagger gets tired, he gets more hyper.  

Look at his scar on his eye! 

Jace, Mallory and I took  Jace to Twin Falls for his basketball tournament.  We had a fun day of shopping, lunch and hours of basketball.  

Jake took our kids and Poulter kids to go sledding on the big hill in Firth.  They had so fun!

Madelyn and Jace's cowboy snowman.  Our kids could play in the snow for hours. 

This little boy loves his Grandpa John and his cowboy hat.  

Jace had a great season in basketball this year.  He played with the Hoops team.  He made new friends and had great coaches.  He is a great basketball player. We love watching him play.
