February

Look at me getting caught up! Soon I will be! One month to go! Any, February was a good month. I spend a lot of time with this crazy kid, indoors, cuz it is freezing and windy outside! I had to post this picture to show one of his favorite outfits to wear. He would wear this, or something like it, every day if I would let him!

We babysat a cute little baby girl one day. Z was so cute with her! He read to her, shared toys, laid out blankets, talked to her in a sweet voice, and even asked if we could keep her. I think he is finally ready for a baby sibling! Now if I could just get pregant...

Me and my silly sidekick! :)

Oh and of course there was snow! :) Ugh! Winter end already!

Cute Z modeling a hat!

More pics of my boys being silly: Tattoos on bellies, dressing up like Fireman Sam and Mario, being goobers with goggles and sunglasses, etc! :)

Valentines was fun! Here are some highlights: The Valentine's Dinner I did with their Valentine's treats from us! Me with my Valentine's gift from Dustin - flowers and Reeses. My husband knows me and loves me! :)

My boys worked hard on Valentines for Gillian, Audrie, Grandma Hansen, Grandma Enslinger, and Great Grandma Enslinger. I think they turned out so cute!

Also in February we got to go to a Super Hero birthday party for our friend Emma! Here is Jack doing the obstacle course to test his Super human powers!

The cute cake my friend Larin made and my happy boys after a pinata and with their new masks!

More fun in their masks! (I love how blue Jack's eyes look in his! Seriously, aren't they cute little Super Heros!

We also did swimming lessons! Zander and I started in a Parent & Child class because they didn't have any other classes for 2 year olds, but it quickly became evident that Z was WAY more advanced than the babies in the classs, so I asked if he could join the Preschool/Toddler class for 3-4 year olds. They let him and he loved it, though he got in trouble quite a bit for not listening and being too crazy! This kid is fearless and LOVES the water. My little fish dives right in! He totally enjoyed his first experience with swimming lessons!

He especially loved diving for rings! I love him showing his swimming pose!

Jack also took lessons at the same time. He didn't pass this new level, but he sure had fun too! He especially, obvious from the pics, loved wearing his new goggles for lessons!

And just like that we are on to March!

January Craziness!

January really didn't have anything too exciting, but we had fun being crazy at our house trying to pass the long cold month! Here are some of our craziness!
The boys loved playing in all the snow at Grandma and Grandpa's in Logan before we headed back to Laramie! They still played on the swing set, played with icicles, and just being cute! :)

Here are me, my bos, and Grandma sledding at some REAL sledding hills up by her house!

More fun!

It was all fun and games until Jack decided he wanted to go over a jump and his chin came down adn hit either his sled, the snow, who knows? Anyway, the result was this beaut on his chin!

Then it was back home to Daddy!!

Jack had a Preschool Winter Program about Snowflakes. Here is his class singing their song and him in his little scarf and gloves! :)

My boys being crazy and gangster? after church one day!

Our family!

My cute Zanderman and me playing with my new camera!

Boys in the lockers at the rec center after swimming!

More crazy after church pictures! Especially great picture of Z with Ray Lewis! :)

Oh the madness of their game! Jumping off the couches, diving onto piles of blankets, pillows, stuffed animals....THEY LOVE IT! It makes me nervous but they do some cool tricks, my little daredevils!

Especially love the one of Z in this bunch jumping! :)

Running wild!

My silly boys showing off their pajamas, robes, drawing, cheeses, and attacking the camera! :)

I just wanted to make sure I document this so I don't forget. I have had the wonderful opportunity to get to know an amazing lady in my ward. Her name is Lucy Thompson, but to most she is known as "Grandma Thompson." The senior missionaries found out about my history in English and asked if I would be interested in writing an article on this woman, who I didn't know at the time. I have had the chance to visit with her, feel of her spirit and testimony, and learn of her story. The piece I wrote was submitted to the Ensign and Church News, and who knows for sure if it will be published or not, but it has been my honor to get to know her and I will treasure the piece I wrote about her and the things I learned from her forever! What a truly amazing woman she is!

Family Pictures

In December I had my good friend, Amanda, take our family pictures. She is my friend and we are in the Young Women Presidency in our ward together. Did I ever mention I was in the YW presidency? It happened around September I think. Crazy! Anyway, Amanda does amazing pictures. Here are our family pics!

It was cold and Z was not cooperating very well....
