because I haven't posted them...until now.
THE GIRL IN THE MIRROR
Isn't she so cute?
She entertained herself dancing in the mirror for over an hour. She loved that there were 4 of her.
I would take 4 of her in a heartbeat!
TY's 10th BIRTHDAY
Ty's actual family party we celebrated at Grandma's house because Steve, Ethan and Grandpa had gone to a BYU basketball game. (Ty was suppose to go but opted out at that morning. I think he's a little of a home-body like me, like my grandfather.)
Ty is definitely a turning into a tween--scratch that--he is definitely a tween. How did that happen? His biggest want for a present was a pogo stick. And, he loved the $ that MomMom gave to him. He bought more legos. And now can play happily in his room for hours unless his little sister decides to invade his space.
TY's FRIEND PARTY
It was his year for a friend party. My children only get that every other year.
Tyler is a little OCD like his mom. haha. I am not really a diagnosed OCD, but I do become obsessive over things. I am obsessed for a little while and then I find something new to obsess on. For Ty, first it was all things Harry Potter, then Fablehaven, and now it's Legos.
Hence the Lego cake.
(This post isn't about me, or I would talk about how this cake isn't really my best, how I made the frosting wrong, and that I haven't made one in awhile and that it is a skill that you [or maybe it's just me] need to use often or you lose it. I couldn't even remember all the tips from my cake decorating class.)
It was nice to see the boys that Ty invited. It makes my mommy heart smile to see him picking nice friends.
HAIR CUT
I got it cut, but don't really like it. And, I really have't liked it since. I will be growing it out again. (sigh) I haven't been able to really get a pic of me that I like since. But, you get the idea of what it looks like.
ETHAN'S 9th BIRTHDAY
No boy has ever been happier to have his birthday on Super Bowl Sunday! Can you tell which team he wanted? They won, bringing home the birthday joy even more.
It's never too early to start bonding over sports.
Did I mention that we went to Texas Roadhouse for lunch? Ethan loved "riding" in the saddle and getting a Texas "yee haw" birthday wish.
I think Ethan has a cute little preppy style starting to emerge. Aunt Paige would be so proud.
IN MOM'S SHOES
One day I left my boots on the stairs (to be taken upstairs when I go up there...much to Steve's disdain) and look who found them. She thought she was so funny walking around in my boots. She was just laughing and laughing. She is Little Miss Sunshine and finds so much to laugh at.
FOCUS ON RELAXING
We've seen a lot more of this at our house as Steve tries to focus on relaxing. He usually starts and I am able to join in if I know he is doing yoga. I am not great at it, but I am finding the joy in it, especially as we do it together.
These yummy treats are what I made for Steve on Valentine's Day.
