Family Fun

Isabel and Levi have the best cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents around.  We are blessed!

Popper takes a shot at feeding the monkey man

The Littles were napping so the Bigs got locked in Izzie's room.
They wrote a sign in protest (apparently it says, "We want out!").

When did the Bigs get SO BIG?  Look at those legs!

We love this warm spring!

A little card playing with Kevin.

This is the equivalent of snuggles in Izzie's world.
Proximity = Love.  Don't expect cuddles and hugs.

Little Man Gets a Haircut

This boy's hair is amazing.  He has yet to have a weird baby style.  Izzie's went through a stage where she had three different colors and a long patch on top and a little baby rattail.  His has been perfectly blonde and perfectly shaped since day one.  But it was getting long on the sides and around the ears, so we decided to buzz it just a bit.  We didn't touch the top -- just cleaned things up.  He was not too impressed.

WHAT.  IS.  THIS???

Don't panic.  Don't panic.  Keep it together, man...

DAD!!!  DO YOU SEE THIS?  WHAT IS SHE DOING TO ME???

Oh, the TORTURE.  This is the worst day of my life.  This is...

...hey.  Wait.  Is that me?  I look pretty good.

I feel silly.  Perhaps the panic was unnecessary.  

All trimmed up!

Bellie's Birthday Week

Sunday:  Her REAL birthday.  Woke up and had a donut.  Got our birthday duds on.  Went to church.  Birthday lunch (she requested a hotdog...?  Literally the first time she has ever eaten one.  That's what big three year olds do, I guess.)  Birthday Girl opens presents (dollhouse and famiy).  Birthday girl, for the first time ever, covers the bathroom in crayons.  Birthday Girl cleans bathroom.  Daddy and Mommy take Birthday Girl for ice cream at DQ and to Paint Yourself Silly.  Then wandered around some shops, and headed to Grammy's house for Sunday dinner (decorated to the nines, of course!).  Birthday girl gets the stomach flu and vomits every half or or so from 11pm to 5am.

Monday:  Birthday girl has her check up.  31 pounds and 36 1/2 inches tall.  Skinny and tall.  Recovering from flu, so we stay home and play with our doll house.

 

Tuesday:  School day.  Uncle Dan joins us for home movie watching and fort building.  We eat some more blue cupcakes, because everyone needs those.

Wednesday:  Went to Grammy's house to play grocery store with Caden and Avery and make Valentines.  Family Night at church.

Thursday:  Valentine's celebration at school.  Then off to Morrill Hall for some more birthday fun.

Friday:  Date with Popper, Birthday Girl's choice.  McDonald's and pet store.  Popper adds Barnes and Noble.  And then the toy store.  Because she definitely, definitely, DEFINITELY needed that horse.  She's actually wanted one forever and I kind of forgot, so I was pleasantly surprised when they came home with it. 

Saturday:  Birthday party.  At Birthday Girl's request, the theme is "ALL THE COLORS".  Could it have been easier for me, really?
