Austin's Blessing

 Post traumatic head having fun feeding the ducks.  Bronson started doing some tutoring classes at Integrated learning in Kaysville (another story for another time) so if the weather is nice and baby is happy we've stopped at the park a couple of times.

 Easy to spot Blake with balloons tied to his cap.

 Finally ready for his big day, glad we made it before he grew out of the blessing clothes.

 Blessing days are so great but a bit too hectic for me to remember to take pictures.  We are very grateful for our family and all of their support.  

 He resembles is mommy in more way than one.  Baby fat is much cuter on him than me however.

Disney on Ice

Blake had a little accident on the train platform.  Poor little noggin hit the concrete pretty hard.  It's amazing boys survive past the age of 2.

 A little excited to ride the train.

 Although the picture doesn't reflect Tessa did enjoy it, and loved Minnie Mouse she was very sad at intermission.  During the villains Blake got a little nervous and kept saying "Where Mimi go, where Mimi go." which is how he used to say Mickey.

 No explanation needed, the boys loved it we had a fun day together.

Baby Austin

 Levi was excited to try out the new paints he got for his birthday.  Gotta love white wrapping paper for such projects.

 He's not always smiles, in fact sometimes he reminds me a bit of Levi's sensitive tummy but I'm much better and staying off of dairy for the most part which seems to help.  I sure love nursing but hate the stress that comes with it, we'll see how long we can hang in for, since Austin isn't a huge fan of bottles, it may be a while, so I'll try to enjoy it.

 It may be just me but some of his baby pics look a lot like his mommy's.

Basement

 oh . . and Blake showing off his new skill of dressing and undressing him self, at least 10 times each day, and always needs a shirt with Mickey Mouse.  

 Bronson and Levi's new big boy rooms, I think they both really like them.  They have done pretty well in the basement, I hate having them so far away but it's not uncommon if on of them slips into our bed a couple times a week, which is perfectly fine with me as the realization of how fast they grow is setting in.

  

 Levi has a little nook off of his room that he calls his sleepover bed, although it isn't really used for that, at least not yet, and a jack and . . . jack half bath in between bedrooms.  One sad thing is ever since Levi moved downstairs his love and affection for all of his pets disappeared.  He doesn't sleep with them at all any more.  Sorry Rudy.

It is so nice to have wide open spaces instead of dusty dirty construction.  We are never moving again, at least we are never building again.  Jared did a great job, he sure is handy.

February Loves

 As winter decided to never show up this year might as well start getting our jump on.

 My little sweetie pie, the only person that keeps me sane some days.  He is a cute little smiler and starting to giggle, at least you can tell he's trying to giggle but the noise doesn't always come out, it's so cute, so grateful for happy baby.

 We did have a run in with RSV this month, so sad when my babies get sick.  It started with Bronson having a horrible cold then got passed to Blake and Austin.  Luckily it wasn't to serious but still plenty miserable.  Although I thoroughly hate when my kids are sick it also makes me so grateful that we have the means to take care of them and that it isn't worse, because it always could be.

 These two were as cute as could be getting their Valentines ready for school.  Levi lives for this kind of stuff.  He loves holiday festivities which makes me feel a bit sad for not doing more fun things but hopefully they'll forgive me the years of babies in the house when productivity seems to be a bit low. Any who they were so cute lining all their Valentines up and crossing everyone off of their lists and putting their treats in the bags.  It was quite a project for them so we counted it as all the homework we needed that day.

 Valentines Cookie Monsters, I've learned to make double batches so we 

all have a good piece of dough to play with.

 Another highlight for Levi was of course his birthday and decorating for his birthday.  The Monday prior to his party he chose the activity for FHE which was to put up decos and balloon for his Dusty party.  He drew cute little planes on each orange balloon for his birthday banner. Cutest little planes I've ever seen.

Levi in heaven,  he waited a whole year for this day, literally the countdown starts the day after. 

 Little Boys getting bigger . . . . and Levi's present.  Pretty fun bike . . . not that I've tried it ;).

 The February b-day crew.  Happy Birthday Levi, Morgi, and Cam.
