Fun February

Yes, it is May; but here are some pictures from February.   Maybe by October I will have pictures posted from this month :).

Claire got her first real haircut (by me).

Before

After

Just a little volleyball on a rainy Sunday.  Good thing these kids have such a creative dad.

Happy Valentines Day!!!  This is us at breakfast.  The kids were super excited about their package from Grandma Jones.

They were also super excited about making and eating sugar cookies.

Excitement?  Fear for cavities?

Oh, yes, and did we mention that Olivia loves greek yogurt?  She is not typically this messy with her food....but with yogurt, she just needs the full experience.

Uncle Jordan came to visit!!!!

Even though it had been a while since we had seen Jordan, the kids clung to him immediately.

Claire took some pictures of Jordan. 

Olivia's favorite family home evening game is "ring around the rosies".

She never falls though.  She believes in being the strong one in the family and helps others to get back up.

A friend of ours had a birthday party at Chuck-E-Cheeses.  The kids were thrilled to say the least.

Claire is always willing to help me cook in the kitchen - especially when cookies are involved.

Olivia is always willing to make a mess in the kitchen - especially when raisins are involved.

Jacob got student of the month again.  We are so proud!  

We went with some good friends of ours (they also had a couple of free tickets) to see and OSU gymnastics meet.  Of course, we had a blast. 

Jacob is a HUGE beaver fan.  He bleeds orange and black (OSU's colors).

I took the kids to Salem for a few hours....
