Valentine's Day

Valentine's pics...
The kids took so much time creating Valentine's cards for their friends...they cut, glued, and used glitter, etc.  Zane did all the writing.

They decorated cookies all by themselves and then ate about 2 bites and were done.

Frosting faces

I think they like sprinkles.

On Valentine's Day, we had a fun lunch with all our buddies.  They had heart sandwiches and strawberries.

The kids, minus two more little ones who weren't there.  It always makes me laugh when kids are crying in pictures but everyone but Smith seems really happy.

Zane took this pic of the moms

Decorating more cookies

Swimming

Swimming day!

Check out this drooling machine!

Zane likes to wear his life jacket shirt and a tube and Emmy just wants to jump in without anything. 

I think this pic shows their personalities so well. 

Super Random

These pictures make no sense together, but I had to get them on the blog...

These guys wake up ready to go - this was before 7 am!

My friends and I exchanged "Busy Bags" which are just quick activities for them to do.  This is just one that my friend Katy made.  Emmy loves using her pink and purple play-doh to make letters.

Hanging out at Grandma's house - Smith kept leaning over to try to see what Emmy was doing.

Z and E are getting better and staying outside and playing together.  A little bit better.  This day, they got their lawn chairs out and were lounging in the snow.

I love how Smith always grabs Zack's face.

This is blurry but the only picture I had of Emmy's crazy hair day after we left braids in overnight.  It's also a good pic of her pretend sad face.

Gigi and Papa sent a package to the kids and we spent a good half hour just opening all the fun gifts.  I wanted to put this video of part of it on because I like Emmy's pig sounds.  This girl loves pigs!!

Silly Videos

Zane and Emerson's goal in life right now is pretty much to make Smith smile and laugh as much as possible. They are always trying new voices and tricks. I love these two videos of them.

Emmy is too cute with her brother. She's always on the edge of being too rough but overall really sweet.


I love Zane's face when Smith starts crying - he's not sure what to do.


This video is classic. Here's what Emmy is saying on the phone... "Zane, the monster will come and eat all of our dinner and all our cake. So, birthday party, you're calling me. Yeah, you're calling me again. So, birthday party why do you always call me? Then, she says Zane, I'm talking on the phone, be quiet. Zane likes to play Mario Kart Wii. LOL.

Misc Pictures

Lately...

We went bowling with my sisters and brother-in-laws and my aunt and uncle and Smith.  Smith got passed around a bunch and then finally got worn out and zonked out. Can you tell it was right before a Bronco's game? 

Hanging out..

Love how Smith is holding Emmy's fingers.

It looks like Smith is rolling his eyes while Zane and Emmy are cracking up.

Smith is so patient with his sister and brother. :)

Sweet girl

Sassy girl

Zane is in a gym/swim class where he gets to play in a huge gym and then go to swimming lessons right afterwards.

Jumping in the foam pit

 
Emerson is also in a gym class.  This day she wanted to wear her leotard.

Smith is getting so big!  He's started playing more in stand-up toys and gets excited when we show him a new toy and reaches out to grab it.  Emmy loved showing him all the new parts to this toy (that we borrowed from our good friend).  I love how he's looking up at her in this one.  I also like how she's wearing Zane's old Sponge Bob PJ's. :)

A couple of day ago, we got a pretty big snow storm.  The kids went out to "help" Zack and our neighbor shovel our driveway.

Zane stayed out for a while and loved the really deep snow in the back.  Emmy only stayed out for 5 minutes.  We probably got almost 2 feet total.





My kids love costumes.  I think I've written that on my blog about a thousand times. 

Shaving cream and cookies sheets.  Seems like it would provide fun for a long time, right?  Nope.  They played for 5 minutes.  Zane said he liked playing with the shaving cream but wished it wasn't so messy.

New haircut
