February

February is absolutely CRAZY for our family!

We have our anniversary on the 8th

My birthday/Valentines Day on the 14th

Madelyn's Birthday on the 18th

and Alivia's Birthday on the 28th!

It is crazy, but it is so much fun, and we miss it when it's gone! But let's just say I will be shooting for a summer baby next time to balance things out!

HERE'S WHAT WE'VE ALL BEEN UP TO!

We celebrated our 4th anniversary on February 8th! Sometimes I feel like it has been way longer than that but sometimes it feels like just yesterday :)

MADELYN

Madelyn turned 3 on the 18th! We had a super fun day celebrating! We took her to Krispy Kreme to get her free box of donuts.... score! (And yes we did that on all three of our birthdays this month....)

We took her to see Gnomeo and Juliet in 3D! It was cool, but I think I would rather just watch it regular style... it sort of gave me a headache! It was fun for Mady to get to go to the movies all by herself with Mom and Dad and have her own special time!


We had a PRINCESS PARTY for her in the morning-
LOTS of friends all dressed up= heaven to Mady!
And let's not forget the presents!...



Madelyn with her cousins, Jaycie and Casey

Lilly, Ethan, Mady and Josie

Most of the group... We had a few that refused to come be in the picture- they were too busy eating cake! I think we had 16 kids total..?

All the kids decorated their own crowns that I scored at the dollar store! I love something cheap that entertained them all forever!

The cute little THREE year old!

Lilly and Madelyn.

I made a fun little cardboard castle for the kids to play in at the party. It was a lot of fun for me to do, and I think the kids really liked it! This is the only picture I got of it... you can't quite see the whole thing- but I thought it turned out pretty cute!

My little princesses

I let Mady eat a carrot with peanut butter to dip it in.... Mistake!

She thinks she is sooooo funny!... ok, she kind of is :)

Exhausted after a hard day of dress up, and pretending to be a different pricess every five minutes!

We visited the Sea Life Aquarium at Arizona Mills mall. It was a lot of fun, but ridiculously over priced! Good thing we had free tickets, because it would have been 45 bucks just for the 4 of us to get in! It is fun if you can find discount tickets or something I would reccomend it- but not for the full price :)

In disguise in Target. Dad's idea :)

Mady got a special treat for her birthday! She got to go to Build-a-Bear with her Grandma! She had so much fun and she love her ballerina bear, which she decided to name Tanda. No idea where that came from!

ALIVIA

I can't believe my little Livy Bug turned one last week! Time has FLOWN! I thought my first baby was growing up fast... I think this time around is going double speed! It makes me so sad, but at the same time, I am just excited for them to grow and learn new things!

The Birthday Girl on her 1st birthday! February 28, 2011

Unfortunately, my camera was dead during her party, so I had my mother in law take pictures with her camera. I will have to add those in later!

Lovin' the new bath toys she got from Grandma and Grandpa

Oh man, my little Livy is a MESS MAKER! She always finds something to make a mess out of!
Especially now that she is WALKING!..

And starting to feed herself... kind of

We love our Livy Jayne all the time, whether she is making messes, giving us her amazing smile, or just smashing her face up against the door window :)
