February was such a quick month! I feel like it was over before I could wrap my head around it. In the whirlwind- we made valentines, decorated boxes, made a yummy Valentine's dinner, celebrated Jared's 32nd Birthday, skied with the kids and had a lovely Love month! I love my cute kids, and I love that with all my faults they love me anyway. I love them so much. I am grateful for my wonderful husband who knows and appreciates the value of me staying home and caring for our children and home. He is truly my soul mate, I don't ever want to know life again without him by my side.
Paje has been busy with her new interests of gymnastics and piano. She is still also playing indoor soccer- and proving herself quite competitive and athletic! She is loving piano and gym, and practices both everyday. She is an overachiever- and I just love that about her! She is a great big sister, and how could I ever live without her help and sweetness?
Preston is in Preschool and he will be turning 5 years old this month! The time has gone by so fast. Jared and I have taken Preston skiing the last 3 months almost every week, and he is INCREDIBLE! He skis all the way down the hill without ANY help and turns and stops perfectly! Wow! I am so proud and excited that he loves skiing as much as I do, and I that I am already enjoying my time on the mountain with him and Paje and Paris! Preston is my tender little man- I love him so much!
Paris is busy in dancing and Preschool. She also turns 5 years old this month- and she is very excited for her birthday party. We are having a family party for the twinnies this year because they had a friend party last year. She has a big list of things she wants like: suction cups (!!?), a Pogo Stick, a white puppy, a new bike, an ipod (no), and lots of other funny girly things. She is a love bug and is pretty good at getting what she puts her mind to. I will admit my patience is sometimes tried with Pear, but it just makes me love her that much more!
Ava is two, almost 3 and busy as a little bee! She is in dancing and loves riding her bike, going on walks and doing everything BY HERSELF! She is cute as a button, and Jared and I both agree she is fire and ice- all at the same time. She is very protective over Jack and she pretty much tells all of us how things are going to be. We were bound to create some strong girls- and I'm so happy we have 3 of them! I love Ava so much!
Jack is adorable with his HUGE brown eyes and black hair. He could not be more sweet. He is a cuddly baby and even though he is 21 months already- he is still my baby! He is talking so well and saying lots of animal sounds and he understands everything. He doesn't always DO what you tell him to, but he is so squeezable! He hates getting his diaper changed, but he LOVES books and choo choo trains. I love Jack from head to toe!
I finally finished Ava and Paris's room- check off one of my goals for the year! Here are a few snaps of my finished product! A huge thank you to Liz, my beautiful sister in law for sewing the draperies and to Christine, my friend who made the pillows! I love you both!
