the first half of february 2019

 the joys of having older sisters
 i'm still trying to decide if i like having these highlights..
 playing with olive's lite brite
 teriyaki lunch date with michael and the little boys
 silly henry
 morning cuddles
 jude loves being read to
 sodalicious with the kiddies because the fro-yo place we wanted to close is out of business
 looking so grown up

 on sundays we get out the legos 
 homemade whoopie pies
our friends invited us over for the super bowl despite our lack of interest
and jude kissed emma, it was cute
 my helper boy

 it was hard to capture but it was a double rainbow in our backyard
 these two were chilly so i let them share my sweater
it's always a party at our house

michael is the fun parent

jude was not interested in being part of this (that's his little head in our bathroom)
 sometimes we sneak out to jump with one kid at a time
they love it


 i love that they love to twin
 sweet eleanor
 olive is really embracing being the family monkey
 the modest gift henry wanted for valentine's day :)

 tiny artists

 our coop needs fixing so the girls are enjoying being free range right now
 not a great picture but eleanor's ears are better than we thought and it's very minimal hearing loss caused by scar tissue from her tubes
 sweet package from my parents
 noah likes to stay up and draw sometimes
 a story by eleanor
 playing trouble while jude napped
 office trivia with our friends

 saturday morning grocery shopping together
 hazel and i went to the stake humanitarian fair and helped sew pillow cases
 cafe rio with friends that happened to be there at the same time as us
 9am church means setting clothes out the night before
 we felt festive for the sunday before valentine's day
so cute with her crown braids 
 so peaceful before i woke him up
 michael thought to take our picture during dinner
fancy leftovers :)
 getting ready for valentine's day
 found in hazel's room
she's pretty creative
 library with friends
olive dressed up for her field trip and looked so cute
 eleanor did jude's hair for him

my friend threw a valentine's girls night (galentine's party)
and i wore my grandma's cute vintage dress

it was a lot of fun


 i hosted playgroup here the next day so of course i had to decorate and make treats


 i love it when the big kids read to the little kids
michael is the sweetest
 i love all my valentines

we went to lunch with michael for valentine's day near his work

 my favorite valentine of all
 in case the kids hadn't had enough sugar after celebrating at school
 heart shaped pizzas were so easy and festive
henry thought it was so funny to put balloons in our shirts
we had a dance party and let the kids watch a movie
it was a perfect low key valentine's day
