Photos from Phones - February 2018 Round Up

Ah February . . . for being such a short month, there certainly was plenty to talk about/photodocument, (like the whole dog bite thing, and the whole Valentine's thing) not to mention all these other random things:

2.1.18
(the beauty that is a stroopwaffel - a delicious
maple flavored one)

2.1.18
(Gregg brought these home from a quick VT trip)

2.2.18
(ski day for Cal and Dad - and Sam and Mom got
to come up to watch)

2.2.18
(we thought it would be the last ski day of the
season since we had such unseasonably warm
and dry weeks before this)

2.2.18
(if you squint hard you can see Gregg and Cal on the chair lift -
Cal's first time!)

2.3.18
(watching the cousins do their basketball thing)

2.3.18
(lupper at Cubby's with the Wihongis between games.
also, please note the awesomeness that is Scott's "hair" - perfectly
lined up with Kage behind him. HA!)

2.3.18
(cheering on Kage with Cal's homemade signs)

2.3.18
(post game group shot - these cousins are huge!)

2.3.18
(I mostly included this one because of Sam's funny
little grin)

2.3.18
(also note the kids are wearing their jammies for the bedtime
ride home but the coolest part about that was that they got
to change into them in a real, live locker room!)

2.4.18
(Sunday cuties - and not much snow left (but
plenty of sawdust!))

2.4.18
(another angle - and yes, I'm going to include all of the outtakes
because they're adorable and I can't choose)

2.4.18

2.5.18
(we made cheeseburger totchos for our super bowl dinner, and
then made them again the next day for lunch. YUM!)

2.9.18
(big fans of frog and toad around here! and I love that the
first one is mine from when I was first learning to read, too)

2.13.18
(a lovely day for a walk to the park)

2.13.18

than successful)

2.21.18
(icicles!)

2.21.18

Cars 2 and play soccer/basketball/golf with Sam)

2.22.18
(it was the best!)

2.22.18

2.22.18
(he was driving his peas through the bbq sauce
race track and then eating them)

these days)

2.22.18

(I can't believe how good she's getting -

those new edgie wedgies are so fantastic!)

2.24.18
(more art by Cal: "Cal and Sam in the snow")

2.24.18
(I don't know when she wrote this, but I discovered
it on Gregg's desk while I was doing some Saturday
cleaning.  She loves to write notes and draw
pictures and slide them under his door while he's
working)

 

2.25.18
(we're learning "I am a Child of God" in German
in primary, and I asked Brother Booth if I could
take a picture of his posters so I could learn it too
since I don't see the words while I'm playing the
piano)

2.25.18
(French, too - he loves incorporating languages
into our songs (usually the ones from the song
book that already have different languages in them,
but now he's translating his own versions). I think
it's so fun!)

2.26.18
(library faves from this week - some were intentionally placed
on hold and others were just random finds from the shelves
(and those ones are the real miracles because so often they turn
out to be duds))

2.26.18
(gimme all the blueberry muffins! (ps I don't do
all the fiddly syrup and lemon sugar steps but they
are still so dang good))

 

2.27.18
(ordinary days)

2.27.18
(zoomed in because they're adorable - this will
always be my favorite scene to stumble upon)

2.27.18
(he woke up from his nap like this. good grief
I love this boy.)

 

2.27.18
(snow ball fight at the park with this one
was full of giggles and bright smiles)

2.27.18
(I mean, really!)

2.27.18
