Valentine's Cookies

The cousins came over to make cookies for Valentine's Day!  It was a blast for all the kids to get together.  It seems there was quite a bit of icing on the cookies and in their mouths.  We decorated the cookies with red and pink icing and sprinkles sent from Ohio from Grammy and Grampy.  We even added chocolate chips as it just seems perfect to do.

Ballerina

Bella is taking her first ballet classes.  She loves to run around class and kick in front of the mirror.  She doesn't always dance with the other girls but the toe touches and turns at home are so cute.  She is obviously having fun.

Two Hearts

We were monkeying around for Valentine's Day pictures.  Marin thought the pink hearts would look cute on Connor while she modeled the red ones.

Warm Jammies

Thanks Leah for the warm jammies!  Our friend from Hong Kong gave us these jammies that her inlaws make.  Aren't they great!  The best part is that they are wool and in -26 degree (with the wind chill) weather the kids were more than happy to don their warmest sleep wear.

We love to swing

We love to swing!  Especially since the girls have graduated to the big girl swings.  They are learning to pump their legs back and forth.  Connor was a great at encouraging the girls.  Soon he will be in his own swing.

Stock show

Here we are at the Denver Stock Show.  It was fun to show the kids all the animals.  We couldn't believe how many different type of rabbits and roosters there are.  And they are all for sale.  Daddy wasn't so interested in taking one home.

 Here is Bella watching the ponies.  We thought for sure she would go for a ride but instead just watched as Marin went around and around.

 Marin was so excited to ride the pony.  She even kept on her sparkly red shoes.

 Bella was checking out the steers and cows and enjoyed walking up and down the steps to entertain herself.

 Hey little guy are you along for the ride?

Best Friend

Connor found a special friend in the mirror.  He is the best type of friend too!  He was really cute exploring his new friend and seeing how he responds.
