February Fun

Mckenzie had an accident the other day! Really she was frosting valentine cookies with frosting that I found on sale. It was very red! It kind of looked like ketchup and in this picture looks like blood. (No children were harmed in the making of this picture.)


I thinned out the carrots in our garden and ended up with a bunch! I love being able to grow some things in our very own garden. (Even though it hasn't been tended as much as it should be.)


Dave insisted on taking a picture of my baby belly, so I'm being brave and posting it for those of you who don't live around here. I have three weeks left and let's just say I'm counting down the days! I'm getting extremely uncomfortable (even though people say I look really small!) I definitely am getting ready to be done and see this beautiful little girl. Any suggestions for a crazy woman who's going to have 3 little ones under 4?

All I can say is that this is nothing compared to the octuplet mother belly. Dave found pictures on the internet and it's worth a look. It kind of grossed me out. I keep wondering what it looks like now...

Here's a short video of the kids making valentine cookies for Daddy. They always say cheese when they see the camera... we have them trained a little too well.

A New Room

I just thought this was a cute picture. Will and Mckenzie like to snuggle together when they watch cartoons. :)

I was ambitious this Saturday and decided to paint Will's room. We ordered bunk beds for Will and Mckenzie and are going to move Mckenzie in with Will so the baby can have his/her own room. Dave is nice enough to let me experiment with decorating.




Here's what the kids did after they woke up from their naps. Will asked me at least 50 times if he could paint too.


And here is the finished product. A little brighter than I was expecting, but I think it will end up nice. I'll take more pics after we get the beds. Then we'll paint the doors and baseboards white after it cools down enough to sand some outside.

School Time

Will had his first day of preschool today. We were all excited for him to be a big boy! He wanted to take a picture with Mckenzie too. She was just as excited as he was. When I dropped him off, she was ready to go right in with him. She was sad that she didn't get to stay. Will also kept his undies dry the whole time! (Until the car ride home...I'm just glad he stayed dry at school!) And it was surprising how quiet it is with just one at home.

We're so proud of our little preschooler!

I just thought they were cute the other day, looking at the fish together on a chair. It's fun to be friends!

Globe

Will got in big trouble! We decided on Saturday morning that we just had to get out of town. So we went to the most happening place we could think of...Globe, AZ. It actually was fun. The drive wasn't bad, the weather was great, and we were able to see the historic district, which was a lot of old buildings with stores, the old courthouse, and this old jail that was in use until 1988.

We also saw this great monument on the main street of the historic district. It was about the hanging tree. The next picture shows the story, but basically it's a tribute to their grizzly past when they hung two outlaws from a tree. It was the only monument we saw. You gotta love small towns.

This was the famous indian ruins that they had signs for all over. We finally drove there and you had to pay money to get in, so we just looked from outside. Will was so excited to go the the indian houses...I think we were all a little disappointed. But it makes for a pretty picture.

And if you're still reading, you get to learn some news, if you haven't heard already. We're going to have another baby! I haven't been to the doctor yet, but the unofficial due date is March 6. So I'm not really fat, just preggo. We'll keep you updated when we find out more details.:)
