2nd half of February

2nd half of February
Feb 16-29

 1st sweet potatoes!

 The girls spent hours playing mermaid in their room.  They were flopping all over the house in their tails, and using their ipods to record a mermaid talk show!

 Kaylee is 7 months old!!!

 Lucas got this "guard helmet" as he calls it from Brody and wears it constantly.  Sometimes he chases us with his gun too!

 Emilyn wasn't able to do the play this time because it interfered with dance, and I think she missed it.  Matisyn had another fun experience at the arts center.  She was in the play Wizard of Oz.  They had three performances.  There were different directors this time, which made for a different way of doing things, but she still loved it.  She was the most beautiful and believable crow and tin man polisher!  As always she was super fun to watch.

 The girls made Kaylee a fort to trap her!

 Family cootie game...Kaylee was helpful!

 Emilyn's note from the tooth fairy!

 Sure adore this pretty baby!

 Lucas was a little nervous at first, but then he loved riding the ponies at the farm.  He rode a couple of times.  He really loves hanging out in the room with the conveyor belt with all the food cards and tunnels too.

 This baby is sick AGAIN!  Another ear infection, more antibiotics, and no sleep for me.  Even with how miserable she has been, especially trying to breathe in the middle of the night, she is still sweet!

 Matisyn's random pink face she gets every once in a while before school.  Maybe she is allergic?!!!

 I love how excited this boy is about picking his own books at the library.  Sometimes he acts like a wild animal, and sometimes he is so grown up and adorable like this!

 I spent a week going through all of Lucas's baby clothes.  I laid them all out and took pictures to sell them or give them away since Kaylee doesn't need them.  It was sad to say goodbye to my baby boy.  He is growing so quickly!

 Matt's baby picture at 6 months, and Kaylee at 6 months!

 After another doctor's appointment for Kaylee, and more ear infections, we stopped at a new park by the fire station so Lucas could have a little fun.  It was a good reward for him.  Then a fireman looked over and saw how excited he was when the truck drove in, and came over and invited him to sit in the truck!  He was such a happy boy.  He was so excited on the inside, but SO shy and quiet on the outside!  Fireman Mike was the best!

 We've been cleaning out the office in the basement to be able to move Matisyn into her own room down there.  I found this old gem of my sophomore year of water polo!

 Lucas had his first week of swim lessons at the end of February with Mindy.  He was nervous at first, but then looked forward to it by the second week.  He can do it, but still has some fear.  It's fun to watch how much he has improved though.

We had a big group date night to meet our friend Josh's fiance Katie.  We miss our friend Alisa, but are happy to see Josh happy.  It was a fun night with friends!
