feb 1-14 Valentines

These last few weeks have gone by so fast. I cant believe February is almost over?!?
Chris and I have been busy juggling our work schedules and being with the kids. It has worked out pretty good with him watching the kids while I work so we don't have to get babysitters most the time. Diana and Megan are there to save me when I need someone for a few hours.
People keep asking me how the kids are doing with me working. Well first, I only work like 2 days a week. So I am still home most the time. But when I do have to go, they are usually pretty good. No major melt downs yet. Avy does wake up every morning yelling, "mommy mommy where are you?!?! don't go to any more meetings!!!!!". Or she will whisper in my ear, "no more meetings, k!" That makes me so sad, but it is good for all of us :)
I am really liking work. It feels good to be back in a hospital, using my skills  I learned in college. And its nice getting a little paycheck every few weeks :) Honestly, the major thing that being back in a hospital has done for me is the overwhelming feeling of gratitude that my kids are healthy. Every time I go to work, every patient I see, I leave thinking of how grateful I am that my family and children are healthy. There are so many kids that have cancer or horrible sickness and have to go through so much. I know that we will have our trials, but right now my kids are in bed with no cords or machines or tubes hooked to them. It really is the biggest blessing to have crazy, messy, happy, healthy children. That is all I think about at work. We are so blessed.

   Watching "despicable me". Jett loves the minions! And Avy loves stealing Jetts bottle. (yes she is 3!!) ridiculous. 

Avy started dance class again! She loves it so much.
This was one day babysitting Madi. These three are so funny (and messy) together.

Just being cute in their morning robes. haha

We have had some beautiful days here. Feels more like April weather, and we will take it!!
Jett is such a good climber. It totally scary!



Valentines was a fun day. We got the kids some balloons and they loved them so much. Seriously, I am never buying toys again because all they want are balloons. We are going on two weeks with those balloons now and the kids still love and play with them all the time!! 



 Chris and I got a babysitter in the afternoon and we went and got a coupes massage for v-day. It was awesome! Then we came back and played with the kids outside. It was great day filled with the people I love the most!

Jan 31st- McCall Winter Carnival

We went to McCall for the winter carnival. It was so fun! We watched the parade, went swimming, walked all over looking at ice sculptures, and went ice skating! We were all exhausted at the end of the day. We forgot our stroller so Chris and I were carrying the kids all over the town the entire day!!! My arms and back are so sore ha!  But it was a blast and we will definitely be back next year!
and here is the overload of pictures.....























These last few were right before we left McCall and we just hopped out of the car really fast for a picture. I swear we dress our kids warmer when we were walking around the town :)



Hotel rooms are so fun :)

Jan 26- 30th

Nothing big happened this week other than the SUN came out!! The high is still like 45 degrees, but it was so nice to get out of the house!






And some of the usual dress ups...


Avy practicing her new bike. Jett helps push along. Good team work kids :)
