February 2012

 Getting ready for the Super Bowl party! Jonny worked for hours on his wings!  They were yummy!!

 We all got together at Keri's for the game--the Davis Family, Walkers, and Smiths.


 We took a trip to the local library for story hour one day and had lots of fun...but we decided to wait a few more months before we make this a habit.  Joy was a bit too young.  Jack loved it!!  (Sara Kate thought it was a bit too juvenile for her, but she was a good sport!!)




 
 

 I started reading a book to the kids and they all ran off.....it was very funny!! 


Jack loves dressing up like his daddy---he feels so big wearing his daddy's ties!

Sara Kate came over several times during the month for homeschooling--Aunt Ju Ju likes to teach Sara Kate one day a week so that Keri gets a break and Sara Kate has a fun recess with Jack.

 We had a few snow flurries one day in February, and Jack went out to try to eat all that he could catch in his mouth!  :)

Joy began to really enjoy her baths in February.  She even began crying when it was time to get out!!

Joy took her first steps in February!  Almost 16 months old!  She took her first steps in the same room Jack did--in the kitchen!  So fun!

Happy Valentine's Day!!  We had fun balloons, crazy straws, yummy candy and new books!

 Our Sonshine church group went to the local rest home and delivered Valentines to the residents.

 Not sure what this is from....but it is so cute!  :)

I love reading to Jack and he LOVES to be read to!  He is showing signs of some real reading readiness already!  (Not sure I'm ready for all that yet!!)

 In the middle of the month, we took a little trip to Kentucky to spend a few nights with Grandmother.  We knew she was sad and lonely after Grandpa Billy died, so we decided to go visit her and cheer her up a bit.  Joy was walking around everywhere with her walker, and took a few more steps on her own while we were there!  We had such a fun time reading books, going to McDonald's, playing games, and eating Grandmother's yummy cornbread.....! My mom and dad were on a vacation in Hawaii, so we spent all our time at Grandmother's house.

 Daddy was soooo happy when we came home!  He had missed all his babies!!!!!  And we had missed him!!!
