Date Night

In January we finally were able to do a date night with some friends of ours! We decided to all pile in our Yukon to go to dinner! We laughed so hard all night! It was just what we needed! We headed to Lee's Mongolian a place we love and we discovered our friends Cameron and Lindsay do to so we made everyone go along with us! After dinner we went to Baked Bear for dessert! It is this amazing ice cream sandwich place where you pick two cookies, or donuts or brownies and they put any kind of ice cream in the middle! It is sooooo good! It was such a fun night and much needed after the crazy few weeks we had had opening Andrew's office!

I had to post all these pictures because Andrew has a different face in each one!

Playing in the snow

The week after Christmas we spent a lot of time playing in the snow! We had gotten so much! The kids had so much fun and thanks to my brother Jared and his wife my kids were able to have some fun in it! I was to pregnant to even want to attempt to go outside!

It pretty much snowed every few days this winter, we got a lot of snow this year which meant lots of playing in it! My kids were always so patient to wait for their dad to finally come home from work to play with them in it! I hope next winter I have more energy to go out more!

Addie's Birthday

Our sweet Addie girl turned 3! I cannot believe she is 3! She is the sweetest thing and we love having her in our home! She was so excited for her birthday since the other two had each had one the two months before! 

That morning after we got the older two to school I surprised her and took her down to city creek to the Disney store! She was so excited! They had a huge Moana display which is her current obsession! I told her she could pick out something for her birthday present! She of course picked the Moana barbie!

After we picked Easton up from my friend Lindsay who was so nice to grab him and take him home while I was still at the Disney store, we went to Baskin Robbins! I had ordered an ice cream cake for her birthday! We got cones to eat as well for lunch! What is better than an ice cream cone on your birthday for Lunch?!?

That night we headed to Orlando's, a mexican place by us, for dinner! We then came back to our house for presents and cake! 

Every time I would ask her what she wanted for her birthday she would say Elena of Avalor movie and so that is what she got!

The cake was good but the frosting was so blue! People had blue tongues and teeth!

That weekend we celebrated with Andrew's family because it was his little sister Anna's birthday as well!

Teeth

Ella lost her front teeth both around Christmas! She is the most difficult child to get teeth out of. She cries and thrashes her body and I basically have to pin her down to get them out, otherwise they would probably never come out! 

Notice the red puffy eyes from all the crying over getting it out!

Then there is Easton and the week after Christmas we are driving down the road and he says hey I pulled my tooth out! He literally makes his teeth loose and pulls them out! They are both polar opposites!

Moments

My kids seem to fight more and more all the time. Some days I am just not sure what to do with them! But then there are days where everything is wonderful and I just love watching them with each other! It makes being a mom so rewarding! 

This day Easton just stood and brushed Ella's hair for her for a good 10 minutes. It was the sweetest thing to see!

Ella was doing a craft and game with them. I just sat on the couch in awe that it was peaceful for a few minutes!
