February

My gorgeous Valentine's day roses.  The girls had to pose with them.

The kids opening their valentine gifts.  They got candy and some new pajamas.

Enjoying some popcorn with Papa.  This little guy LOVES his papa!

Ethan, Brinli, Jackson, Stockton, & Sadie.  This is quite the crew.  We always get lots of looks where ever we go!

My kids trying out their friend's wagon.

Having fun with friends!

In the middle of February we took a trip down to visit my sister and her family in Phoenix.  We were dreading the long drive but the kids all did great!

The last hour was the hardest.  Stockton finally fell asleep but Sadie just wanted to play the kindle.  I tried taking it away once and she just cried and said "Kinnle, kinnle" (since she says everything twice).  She did great as long as she had it.

Sadie & Stockton trying out Guppy's kennel.  They kept getting in and shutting the door and taking turns.  They had a great time!

Stockton & Sadie hanging out with aunt Brenda.

Ady, Emma, & Isak enjoying some Joe's BBQ.  It was DELICIOUS!

Add some lunch we headed to the park to have some fun.  We got to go on a train ride

and ride the carousel and a few other rides.  The kids had so much fun.

Before church on Sunday we took a walk around the neighborhood. 

After church we went and visited the Mesa Temple and went to see the new Gilbert Temple that is being built.  Both are so beautiful and very different from each other.

On Monday we played at the park some more.  The kids loved the sand box and the basketball court.

We had so much fun and it was great for the kids to see their cousins.  Nobody wanted to go home so Ady and Emma ended up staying an extra day with Grandma & Grandpa.

Ady had to do a report on her favorite animal and she picked bunnies.  This is her and her very own bunny "Brownie".

Sadie & Stockton inherited a whole ton of trains and a train table from their cousin, Brandon.  They love playing with their trains.  In fact, Stockton is now crawling out of his crib every morning and I wake up to him playing with his trains!

Ben couldn't find the twins one morning while I was gone but he could hear them.  Finally he discovered them and they were hiding in with our furnace!  They are so funny and always leave us wondering what will come next:)

Sitting by the fire to dry and get warm after their tubby.

Playing outside in their escalade.  Unfortunately it doesn't work but it is still fun to just sit in.

Not a great picture of myself but this is what dinner is like at our house.  I am always getting pulled one way or another.  Life is an adventure!
