Making their hats

Name Game

Playing in the blue sand

This week we went to Discovery Gateway with Emma and Laura. We took the little girls to a class. In the class they read The Cat and the Hat and then made crazy hats. The girls had a great time making the hats. (although they did not really like wearing the hats). We love the Gateway!

Where's McKinley

For ST. Patrick's day we decided to make Oliver an all green lunch. This included green homemade bread, green rice krispies, green Jello, green milk, and green grapes. I wanted McKinley to help so I had her decoarte the lunch sack that we could send with Oliver to lunch.

Sleeptime

Last week McKinley was not feeling well. After I put her down for a nap-This is how I found her sleeping. I love to see all of the different positions they sleep in.

Perfect Fit

This morning I came out of my bedroom and found McKinley Playing in Maddie's kennel. She thought she was so funny. It was pretty cute to watch her lay in there (Boy am I grateful I washed that bed last weekend). It was the perfect fit for her little body!

Maddie

Here is our new dog Maddie! I cannot believe it my husband finally gave in and let us get a dog. We got Maddie off of KSL from a really nice family. She has already been a great addition to our family. McKinley just loves her. This morning as soon as Maddie heard McKinley make a noise, from her crib, she was off to her room. It was really cute. I am so grateful they like each other. I think Maddie especially likes McKinley because she provides all of the floor scraps.

Valentine Creations!

McKinley's Valentines Box

Cute McKinley and her valentines box

Yummy.....chocolate covered strawberries!!

"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before." President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Last night I really got that yearning to create. I decided to make a valentines box for McKinley and some chocolate covered strawberries for our ward party. I truly enjoyed seeing the end results!

Valentines Party

Olya, AJ, Tashina, and Melissa

Mommy and Kinners

Adam loved the frosting!

See all the candy McKinley was eating. She thought she would completely subsitute the sugar she would have had in one sugar cookie into a big pile of candy.

Laura, Emma, Parker, and Melissa

Today we had a Valentines kids party. We made little crafts, decorated cookies, and passed out valentines. I think the favorite thing was decorating and eating sugar cookies.(except for McKinley....she still won't eat cookies). She did enjoy all of the candy though. Here are some fun pictures from the party.

Mommy's High Heels

McKinley just loves my shoes. On Sunday night she kept putting them on and walking around. She is actually pretty good at walking around in them. Plus I just thought she looked so adorable in her pjs and my high heels.

Sugar Cookies

More frosting....

Getting ready to take her first bite of pure sugar! lol

Brookie and Mckinley decorating

Just getting started

McKinley playing with Uncle Gene

On Sunday Night we went over to Aunt Torrie and Uncle Cassidy's House for FHE and dinner. For our activity and dessert we decorated sugar cookies. The kids had such a blast decorating the cookies. I think there was at least a full bottle of sprinkles on the table. McKinley had put a lot of frosting and sprinkles on her cookie and she absolutely loved it...although I think Daddy ended up throwing most of that cookie away and getting a plain sugar cookie. So later on that Night (probably around one or so in the morning McKinley woke up with a tummy ache and throwing up). I am not sure if it is because she had so much sugar...but she will not eat a cookie now. I have offered her some chocolate chip cookies and a sugar cookie. She takes one bite and hands it back to me and says, "All done." I guess I will know for sure tomorrow because we are having a valentines party at my house and we will be decorating sugar cookies! BRING IT ON!!!
