Our week

Arilyn has been dealing with a cold and an ear infection. Here she is with her breathing treatment, poor baby.
We bought her a Jenny Jump Up, she is so cute hopping around in it.

The epitome of love...

Cuddle time!

My angel face and I.

After several days of Amoxicillin, Arilyn is seemingly back to herself; happy and allowing several long naps. Makes me wonder how long her ear was actually bothering her. Poor angel.

Kyler and Jared had cubscout lock in Friday night. They had a blast. Came home extra sleepy. Apparently Jared was one of, if not the, loudest snorers there! (Keep in mind this event has 700+ people). So funny!

While they were away for the night, Lexi, Arilyn and I had a girls night. We watched movies, girl talked, painted nails and snuggled.

All in all it's been a quiet week, but a very enjoyable one.

And now...on to March!

The beast, Zed.

She loves the doggies.

For cubscouts, Kyler had to bake and decorate a cake, solo.

Grandma Carol and aunt Nicole came to visit for a few days. The kids were so excited to walk out of school and see them standing there.

Yum...

Saying goodbye is never easy.

We had a great visit, of course--as always, it went too fast. Thank you guys for coming out. It means a lot. Can't wait for the next visit!!

Jared's birthday and such...

On Feb 7th, Jared turned 30...the big 3-0!!

As he's not a cake person, I made him a strawberry shortcake ice cream "cake". He and the kids loved it.
He chose to go bowling. We had a blast. Jared was on fire with nearly all strikes and spares.

Lexi with her spin move.

Lovin' the baby.

We had so much fun.

Daddy and Ari Jade.

I called it 'birthday luck' as he was on fire!

These 2 have the same eyes and ears.

And these 2 have the same nose, blond hair, body and mouth.

Happy birthday!!

Jared took this photo of me as I watched the kiddos bowl.

Sleepy baby girl.

Mama and Ari. I love how she looks directly at the camera.

Her new hat I ordered for her.

Friday night the kids had a sleep over.

Lexi and Amber played dress up nearly the whole time!

Kyler and Brock played video games, with Legos and Nerf guns.

And of course, they JUMPED!

We had a busy week here, but full of happy memories. Now on to the next week as we await grandma Carol and aunt Nicole's arrival on Thursday!

Happy Valentine's Day!
