February extras

February was a busy month! Riser got Hand Foot and Mouth, which looked way worse than I think he felt. 

Just some cute baby butt pictures.

This winter has been incredibly mild, which has meant lots of time outside.

And lots of eating dirt.

Riser has been bear crawling everywhere, he is trying so hard to walk!

We went to Busch Gardens where they happened to be celebrating Mardi Gras.

This girl loves a good ride. She will ride anything she is tall enough for. 

Sometimes we have to come up with rides inside the house too.

On Valentine's day my moms group had some people come to do our nails and give massages. 

Bonnie is so thrilled anytime she has mail to open.

We have had some good cousin time.

Riser is going through his toilet paper phase.

Our dishwasher broke. The kids enjoyed watching Benny learn how to install the new one.

Just a couple guys at the water cooler.

This fence is my favorite purchase since we've lived here.

Nothing keeps this girl playing independently the way digging in the dirt does. 

Our friend recently got a mud kitchen in her backyard and invited us over. The kids were in dirt heaven.

I think this kid wants a sandbox. 

About a month ago Bonnie noticed the pictures of people in the back of her books so we explained those are the authors and illustrators of her books. The last few weeks she has been really into always looking at the authors after we finish a book. Well one day when I came in to get her after quiet time she had been flipping back and forth through one of her bibles. I asked what she was doing and she said "I'm trying to figure out who wrote this thing!" 

Dinner time at our house.

After dinner shenanigans. 

It was another great month!
