Random Moments in February

This is something Tom has always done with our kids. He puts his head right in front of them and they attack it, sometimes munch on it, and just have a blast. They really enjoy this little moment together.


I thought this was a cute one of Payden. Declan was sitting across from her, and she just loved it. She's also eating one of her favorite cereals, "cocoas" or rather Reese's Peanut Butter Cup cereal.


My friend Krista had to go to a postpartum check-up, so we watched her son Caleb. He and Payden get along so well. It's fun listening to their little conversations. I often wonder if they fully understand each other. After chucking toys at each other (and having a blast), they headed outside with all the cars. I found them under here giggling their little heads off.


Caleb would say "shush" so they'd both get really quiet. Then Payden would bust out with a LOUD noise and they would both burst into giggles. Then Caleb would say "shush" and they'd do it all again. It was too cute to watch. I also love Caleb's little feet sticking out from underneath the slide.


Generaly I don't post many shot of Tom and I, but someone, probably Shelby or Taylor, shot a few of us, so I thought I'd share them. Here's Tom being a goof for the camera as always.


I swear I look tired in every picture that's taken of me. That's probably because I am. What with horrible cedar allergies, family illnesses, and kids who always disturb my sleep, I am one tired momma . . . and it shows.


After Halloween, I sort through the candy and set aside the candy that will be good for making gingerbread houses. This past year I set the candy aside and then forgot about it as we got busy with a family illness right up to Christmas and so we never made our gingerbread house. Well, I have continued to forget about it until Payden found the candy the other day. With it being a FEW months old, I wasn't too excited about her eating it. This picture was probably taken right after I told her the candy was a little old and might not be the best. I let her and her sisters enjoy some and then I immediately threw it out after they went to bed that night.


These shots were taken as they watched tv together. First a sweet kiss from Shelby.


Then here are Payden and Taylor enjoying one of our favorite drinks . . . Izze. We LOVE that stuff.



With as short as February is, it turned into a long month as we ended with everyone sick, which I'll write more about later. Anyways, we did have a few good moments here and there admist our sicknesses and our amazed that we are one more month closer to Tom's graduation.
