Play Date

Jayna is getting to the age where she loves having friends over and when she does, it doesn't feel like babysitting because they will just play the whole time. Her and Emma play so well together. 

Pretending Kepler is the monster or bad guy to run away from.

And now he's the prince to dance with!

Party!

I had a Valentine's Day Party for the kids on Thursday. There were 10 kids, 3 and under there and I thought it was going to be complete chaos. But they were all so good, and it was a lot of fun!

We played a couple games. Picking up hearts and putting them in a bag.

The little kids were in Kepler's room and the big kids in Jayna's room.

Dancing and musical hearts

We made a little craft

And had some snacks and cake pops.

These were all the kids there minus Rylan and baby Ivy.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Lazy Mornings

It's so nice to have a lazy morning once in a while. Staying in our pj's and just relaxing at home.

Helping Daddy make waffles for breakfast.

And giving each other rides on the truck. What would these 2 do without each other?

Littel Helper

It's so funny how helping with chores that I dread doing is so fun to the kids. I guess I should try to be more childlike. ;)

Kepler loves putting the clothes in the machine and pushing the buttons. The simple joys! It sure does make doing laundry better to have such a sweet, happy little helper!

Helpers

Jayna and Kepler are at the ages where they love to "help" me do chores around the house.

They love playing in the fresh laundry. As soon as I dump it on the bed Jayna begs to jump in it and get covered in it.

Kepler's latest obsession is emptying the dishwasher.
If he is awake when I'm emptying it he insists on emptying all the utensils, and he does a decent job!

(I obviously had no "helpers" to do laundry this day, since these too small jammies were the only clean ones he had in his drawer .)

January

 Kepler could do this all day long

What a little sweetie!

 My helper, this is the best part!

Kepler walks around like this a lot, silly boy. 

More helpers, Cohen and Jayna

 Jayna and her silly faces. She loves her room and bed!

Such a cute girl.

 My boys love to snuggle

 We went out for lunch and Jensen wanted to try my lemon. He is my son! It was so sour but he kept going back for more.

Lindsay had us over for a pajama party and brunch.
