Have a Hoppy Day!

Another project from Makayla. 

Conversation:

Me:  Oh, Makayla, It's so cute.  What is it?

Makayla:  It's a frog, mom. Sheesh!

 

Good to know!

Happy Valentine's!

We had a good Valentine's Day.  There were pink waffles for breakfast :

 

Chocolate:

See the colored picture?  I colored that with Makayla on Sunday and then Corbin ripped it out put his name on it and gave it to me for Valentine's Day...that shows ingenuity.

Flowers:

And even something for Ryan:

We attempted "Heart Hair" for Makayla:

Put Smiles on Corbin:

And called it good!

Then Makayla came home from school with gifts for Mom and Dad.  

A ring and a note for me:

Look at the size of that bling!

And a Superhero sucker for Dad.

Love the goggles.

It was a very Happy Valentine's Day!

Superbowl Par--tay!

As per tradition, we got together with Rex, Dessa and Whitney for the Superbowl.  

We went to their house this year and I was reminded again how small our TV is. :)  

Ryan has told me over and over but I have yet to be convinced.  

It was nice to watch the commercials game on such a large screen.

We had great food and great conversation.

To keep us entertained (not that the big game wasn't doing it!), 

the kids pulled out the hula hoop and performed some tricks.  

Makayla's attempt at the hula hoop:



Then I had to show her how it was done:

How embarrassing! 

(And yet I post it to share my humiliation!)

Thanks to Whitney for letting me pinch the pictures and videos from her blog because I forgot my camera.

One of the Family

Makayla loves her American girl doll.  

She has named her Lindsay and treats her like one of the family.  

After a day out in the snow, this is what I found:

Last week, I got in trouble when turning on the water too loud 

(I was cleaning the bathtub) and thus waking Lindsay from her nap.  

Poor, poor baby!

Daddy/Daughter Date

Last week Maykayla's school had a Dad/Daughter Western Night where they learned to square dance. 

Makayla was thrilled with the prospect while Ryan was a little less so. :)  

Still, being a great dad, he took her and they had a great time 

(at least that is the report I got from her).

To prove attendance, they took a picture and to prove participation Ryan even wore a "kids hat".  

I couldn't have asked for more! :)
