February House Updates

I love going over to the house when the workers leave, so I can just wander around and check out all the new progress.

February Fun

Grandma and Grandpa gave the kids mini murphys for Valentines day.

Ready to put them in the oven.

Abigail and I got to go skiing for a field trip.  She did great for her first time!

Luke and Tayler heading in to their Valentines dance



The kids were going all little crazy one night, so I made them have a read a thon.


Luke and Abigail were fighting, so I sent them out to shovel.  Abigail had the back patio, and Luke the front driveway.  When Ab was done with the patio, she went to help Luke finish the driveway.
I thought it was so sweet after they had just been arguing.

We met up with our Harrisville friends for some sledding.



The young men had to go pick up flags one night, so I followed behind Ben and Luke to make it easier. 

Breakfast buddies

my sweet snow angels

we love watching Abigail play volleyball, it's the highlight of our weekends.

Carly likes to do my hair while we're watching.

so proud of their puzzle

These two are the best buddies!

Abigail did her state report, and did an amazing job!  She put it all together herself and way ahead of the due date.  She was excited to learn that Dr. Pepper is from Texas, so she could serve it at the presentation.

Disneyland trip day 6 and 7


We were back at Disneyland for our 4th day in the parks.  Since we live for being first in line, we were super excited to be first in line for Indiana Jones that morning.  Ben took Isaac and Hailey to get tickets for Fantasmic, and I took the older ones.


 Winnie the Pooh had the shortest line wait, so Isaac was really in to that.  We got off the ride and got right back in line again.


Big thunder mountain again!



We took it easy since it was our third day at Disneyland, and rode some of the rides we don't usually go on.  Mark Twain's river boat was really fun for the kids.


The girls wanted to see Tinkerbell, and Isaac was not having it.  He did not want to do girl stuff.  He hid behind Abigail the whole time.  At the end, Tinkerbell asked who the cute lost boy was, and he warmed up a tiny bit.


He wanted to go on Nemo so bad and then crashed in line.  
He was a little out of it during the ride.

Star Tours again!  Luke and Abigail both got to be the rebel spy.


Getting ready for Fantasmic!




The next morning, we ran into Downtown Disney to get a few souvenirs.   
It's sad to have our trip over, we made some great memories!
