February, part II

 We love playing in the snow and February brought our first heavy snow storm with it. The boys played and played and we took advantage of every decent day we could. We even managed to play at the park in 33 degrees!

Happy boy!
We love being outside!


Big jump!


Oliver loves the snow.



Watch me, Mom!

Look at this one, Mom!

I'm pretty sure this was right after he hit 
me with a snowball. 


I'm sure he was freezing but he 
refused to go inside!



Swinging in 30 degrees. 

Who knew it could be this much fun?!











Pictures outside of Betty Brinn. 

Notice the wings on the Art Museum. We love being
able to see them open and close in the evenings!

After! 

Before.


This smile kills me. 

I love my afternoons 
with this fun boy. 

Closing their eyes during the opening
credits of "Despicable Me".

We went through a scary ordeal this month when the boys' school got put on lockdown. There was an active shooter that was just a block away. I had to sit and wait for an hour after their school got out for the police to finally lift the barricade surrounding their campus. It was torture. But their school was safe and their teachers did an awesome job keeping the kids calm. Our hearts go out to those that were shot at Miller Brewery. It was a sad, scary day.  


February

 February came fast and brought all of the cold weather and snuggles with it. We played in the snow and spent a lot of our afternoons playing around the city. Valentine's Day was really fun this year and we celebrated the holiday with a Valentine's party for Oliver and his friends (the boys got one of their own at school) and a red dinner with red velvet cake for dessert. We love Love month! And we're so grateful we aren't dealing with a broken bone like we were last year at this time. :)

The big boys celebrated their 100th
day of school in style. 
Some of their best buds!

Putting together some
Christmas gifts.

Nice teamwork!

Nerf gun wars for FHE activity!


Betty Brinn towers with this happy boy.
I love our morning adventures!
They go straight for the books
as soon as they wake up. 
He was convinced that my coat
was his and refused to put it on
the "right" way. Adorable!

His favorite part of visiting the Domes.
"I run so fast."

This handsome fella looks 
spectacular in his new glasses.

We love the Butterfly room 
at the public museum!

"Mom, take a picture of me! It 
looks like I'm sitting on an iceburg!"


An after school adventure to
Betty Brinn, one of our favorite spots.

Their personal adjectives!

They couldn't be more spot on!





Ollie and I love visiting Dad
at his school. 

Thank you for the Valentine's Day 
package, Nana and Papa!


Ollie with the goods.
We love our friends! 
Poppy, Lee, Neil, Hayden, Quinn, Oliver, Genevieve, and Will

We love our boys!
Happy Valentine's Day!
