Bits of February

Love must have been in the air because Jacob went on a couple of really fun group dates.  I say really fun because they sounded FUN!

Ashley had Viking Day at school and seemed to go back to the How to Train a Dragon time period.

Uncle Keith and Aunt Janelle had their baby girl.  The big girls were up there the night she was born and then we had to go back up to see her with everyone else…

The mailboxes were once again in full swing.  Jerrica was my postman each morning stuffing them with goodness.

The little girls made their Valentines.  Jerrica loves Minecraft and made hers accordingly.

Neither girl made Valentine boxes at home.  They both made bags at school to put their Valentine’s in.  It’s always fun going through the Valentines and seeing all of the different creations from friends.

I made Stephen a cute stuffed Valentine box that I will have to post on.

We took the girls to an ice sculpture contest and then to Noodles for lunch.  Both seemed appropriate Valentine activities.  It was fun hearing the girls dream of what kind of boyfriends they want as they get older.

The little girls had friends over and we did a chocolate fondue with everyone.  There is just something about chocolate where everything tastes SO yummy!

Swimming is in full swing for Jacob.  We took all of the girls to one meet.  It was so packed that we couldn’t all sit together.  The older girls and I laughed as we watching Stephen sharing “his” music with Jerrica.  They looked so cute with each other!

Jacob has been swimming the 200 freestyle and killing it!  My problem is that it is SO hard to get a good picture of him swimming it.  I’m grateful that his love is the butterfly because it’s easy to capture his face in that stroke!

Kaylee’s basketball team won the 8th grade championship.  They have an incredible team!

Rebecca’s 7th grade team didn’t win a single game!  I’m going to have to do a post on the girls’ basketball season together.

Anyway, those are bits and pieces of the first part of our February!
