Our every day February moments ❤️

Megan & Linda’s Baby Shower

Sarah and I made a special trip out to Utah to celebrate Megan and Linda’s new baby girl. You can read all about it HERE.

Shadow Boxes

One thing I knew I wanted to do when we were working on the office was add some shadow boxes to display some of Mark’s mission things. Oh goodness, it took me a bit to figure out the best material to keep things where I wanted them. I would get it all put together, hang it up, and the next day something had fallen. Repeat that process more than once – uggg – BUT I finally figured it out! And I love how it turned out!

Moana 2

Winter Bucket List ✔️ We made our way to the movie theaters and saw Moana 2. Read all about it HERE.

Cold Days

It was a pretty sparse month for snow but we definitely had some cold days. Is there anything sweeter than bundled up little kids?

Love Notes

For family home evening, we all made our love notes to one another. Easily, my favorite Valentine’s Day tradition that we have.

Valentine’s Day

We had a lovely Valentine’s Day. Read all about it HERE.

Johnny Cakes

To celebrate President’s Day, we made some Johnny Cakes – just like George Washington – and they were delicious!

Family Game Night

Winter Bucket List ✔️ We love games around here but this night always feels extra special. This year Ben picked an intense new Lord of the Rings game that he got for his birthday, Sarah picked Skip-Bo, and Jacob picked Play Nine. It was a great night of fun!

Opthamology Appointment

Lydie had an opthamology appointment this month. Her eyes are doing well right now and we are really happy about that. This picture of her in some sunnies (dilated eyes) is just too cute not to share.

Office Project

We love how this space turned out so much. Read all about it HERE.

14th Anniversary

Mark and I celebrated our fourteenth anniversary this month. Life together is the best.

Winter Snuggles

These two are the sweetest. I love their relationship. This is how they snuggled up while I was reading to them for school one day.

Backyard School

Towards the end of the month we had some very spring-like days. They kids loved it. Jacob and Sarah made this little set up and did all their school outside one day.

Racing Alligator

Ben is such a “builder”. He loves to make things. He was very proud of his racecar for baby alligator.
