February

Happy 100 Days of Kindergarten! Kids in Kieran's class each made a superhero cape with 100 items attached and a crown of $10's to celebrate the 100th day of school.

A favorite look-out spot for Emme... she loves animals!

Emerald in her "dress fancy" dress for Edith's 4th birthday- Frozen themed of course ;)


The big boys watch the gift opening...

Telling secrets :)

The boys at the party- in their own little world

Mommy and princess Emerald

Big girl at her nine month well baby exam- so big! Nearly 20 pounds and above average in every category, especially the one that measure adorableness ;)

Big girl in her tub- no longer needs the mesh sling... she is all over the place in the bath now, splashing, turning, standing and trying to crawl out!

Sweet Emme in an adorable Hello Kitty outfit from my uncle Joe.

Emme and Kieran with some homemade Valentine stuffed animals from the Stickney family.
"Helping" with the laundry ;)

Back rub for big brother...

Such a sweet pair

Sweet girl wearing big brother's jammies :)




Emerald trying to keep up with big brother in the bathroom... 

And at the table :)

Limo's ROCK! Kieran enjoying his first limo ride courtesy of a Major Savers fundraiser. 

He was especially impressed by the fancy lights that "glow-up!"

The limo took all the kids to Pizza Hut for a special lunch- mmmm, pizza!

Rocking out with Emerald

That's one cool kid ;)

Signing his Valentines for the party the next day... 20 times!

Complete with Pop Rocks attached

Our sweet little Valentines 
Kieran loved this singing Valentine from Nene Orange!

Working on a Valentine craft in his classroom party


Mmmmm... sugar water in a metallic pouch

Sugar high!

Sugar coma.
Good friends :)

An impromptu Valentine play date with Edith and Camden. First to Tiger Bounce and then over to Wendy's for dinner. All went well- until... 

Kieran's first head wound. Corners on trashcans are nobody's friend- especially wild, running children.

Kieran on Valentine morning. Daddy went all out and stayed up late the night before to make a bunch of yummy chocolate covered strawberries.

He also made me a fantastic breakfast- what a great hubby!

Painting a tiny flower pot after we planted a few seeds- a fun Valentine's gift from Nene Orange.

My Valentine's date... Kieran and I enjoyed some Indian food before we went to the theater.

This kid loves him some tandori chicken!

"Mmmmm!" 

Checking out the playbill while we wait for Sid the Science Kid to begin at the Missouri Theater.

Kieran loved the show and was especially impressed with how fancy the theater was "Even the bathrooms!"

Adding details to a racetrack at my school.
Sweet, sleepy little girl :)
Kieran's Giacometti inspired paper mache sculpture he made and gave to his Sensai to put in the trophy case ;) It's in "horse strance" if you were wondering... 
Kieran giving Sensi Darren the sculpture :)

Push-ups!

Emerald playing under the barstools... she couldn't figure out how to get out... so she ended up just falling over the bar and hitting her head :(

Checking out the birds and squirrels at Runge.

Big girl walking with daddy :)

Saying hello to the fish.

Driving around Target with mommy.

An attempt at her monthly (10) owl pal photo... Kieran tried to help wrangle her but she couldn't be contained ;)

Kieran and Jacqui are snuggle buddies while they watch The Box Trolls at Nana and Papa's house. 
Our sweet little pumpkin :)

Emerald and daddy selfie :)

Look at that ninja turtle with the stinky face ;)

"Put some more right here..."

All smiles, as usual!


Drawing from reference...


Darth Maul's son ;)

A little icecream at Freddy's... with a few toppings ;)

"Peek-a-boo!"

Building with Lincoln logs in the basement.


How we found him one morning before school... he spends at least 50% of his sleeping time on the sofa with dad these days.

The last (hopefully) snow of the winter!

The shibas enjoyed it

Hanging out with Nana and Papa while mommy and daddy have a date lunch.


Perfect in pink!

Kieran and Jacqui playing dress up!

Papa gets in on the dress up action too ;)
