Oops

I keep forgetting that I have yet to post my pictures from our family Christmas when my brother and his family was in.  So here they are, almost 2 months later!

Grandpa's homemade slide.  It comes out every few months and the kids love it

Relaxing by the tree

Just realized that the quality of the rest of these pics is terrible.  I took them with my sis-in-law's camera and for whatever reason I lost something in the transfer.  Oh well, here they all are anyway!!

Little Drew was not wanting to cooperate for the group shot!

Greta was thrilled with her new Strawberry Shortcake dress.

Greta was thrilled with her "piddo" (that's how she says it) pet from Grandma.  She has slept with it every night since.

Valentine's Day

This was the 4th or 5th (can't remember) year that we held a Valentine's party with some other homeschool friends.  I was considering not doing it this year with all the craziness of having a new baby, but I don't think my girls would have let me say no. :)  I was happy to do it and they did a lot of the work anyway.

I didn't get too many pictures of our actual party, it was too crazy!

Claudia captured this on Sat. evening.  Steve was gone to Pittsburg for the weekend to preach and we spent the evening doing prep.  Muti-tasking, holding the baby, and doing Valentines!

I took this picture on Monday morning.  Claudia is quite the little helper/organizer.  She made this list completely on her own.  And yes, she did complete it!!

Our handsome little Valentine man

Look, Mom, I actually did something crafty!!!

And it turned out cute!

All the kids

Aaron made this Valentine in church.  I love it!!

Out of the Mouths...

This was how Greta communicated to me that she had:

1. Clogged the toilet.
2. Tried to plunge it.
3. Was unsuccessful at the plunge and flushed and flooded the bathroom.

"Mom, I went potty and pee pee is shooting EVERYWHERE!!"

Love that Face

Poor Josiah is blurry, but I love this one of Aaron.  It's tough to get a real smile out of him.  Here it is.
