February


Sometimes Logan gets a hold of the camera, and I don't realize it until I upload all the pictures and find shots like these:



Gotta love those self portraits. ;)





Mia is seriously the happiest baby ever.  The poor girl has had a bad cold for over a week, and just keeps on smiling.  She thinks sniffing is hilarious.




We were painting one afternoon, and I asked Logan to go wash the paint off his hands.  I went to check on Mia and when I came back into the bathroom I saw this.  He told me that it was his, "bath of the year."  Now I keep catching him trying to climb back into the sink.




Mia loves her sweet potatoes.  Here she is at 2 in the morning eating more of them.  :)




And another self portrait...




I have been blessed with kids who love to read.  Once again, luckiest mom in the world. 


One afternoon Logan and I pinterested together and picked out his Valentines.  He loved the bug ones, so these are what all the little girls in his preschool class received.  Logan is the only boy in his class, so he got lots of princess valentines.  And he was very disgruntled with me, but I made him write his name on every single one.  I can't believe my sweet boy can already write his name!  He can't be that old yet!!



Here are some shots of my cutie patooties on Valentine's day...







This year for Vday Ry and I decided to start a new tradition.  We decided that on the actual day of Valentine's Day we would focus on the kids, and that the following weekend would be ours.  

Here is Logan at his special Valentine's dinner.  The table was set up fancy with lots of candles, and Ry and I were his waiters.  I made his favorite dinner (heart pizza) and he ordered from his menu.  It was so much fun!  The little lady was invited, of course, but declined because she had already scheduled a nap for that time.





Then we had a treasure hunt where Logan tracked down his (and Mia's) valentine gifts.  Here he is with his dinosaur robe and new teddy (thanks Grandma and Grandpa! :))



 Ry had a big test the day after Valentine's Day, so we decided to delay our festivities.  This lady isn't complaining  though... Ry spoiled me with Godiva, Olive Garden, and love notes that he wrote me every day of the year so far.  Best. Husband. Ever. And, as soon as that test got over, we let loose. ;)  Here we are at Kangaroo Zoo, Logan's favorite place in the world.  Mia likes it too. :)




 I love how Logan goes into this absolute state of euphoria every single time he goes down these slides.  I took a million pictures of him...but this is the only one where he wasn't a complete blur. :)


We had a scheduled power outage all day Saturday at our apartment complex, and we needed a change of scenery, so we decided to rent a hotel room.  It was so much fun to get away from the world for a bit!






Logan decided to scare us to death and jump in the water after Ry when he wasn't looking (and holding Mia)....without any floating devices on.  The crazy kid totally swam to Ry and climbed up his back before we could even react.  Guess he doesn't need swimming lessons.  Just kidding...that is the first thing this daredevil child will be doing this summer.


Mia loved the water!  Crazy lady... I was freezing!







Tired out from all the fun....she fell asleep playing with her toes. :)
