What we've been up to...

This is some of what we've been up to...

Inspired by a friend's blog I decided to do more than a little ponytail in Katie's hair every day. We tried some fun ones, but it all lead her to say one day, "I wish I could live in a house where they didn't do my hair!"

We had some fun visitors in February including Auntie Erica, who is always a good sport to crawl into tiny kid houses, and Auntie Tia and cute baby Dallas.

We had a fun Valentine's party for playgroup one day. The kids passed out valentine's and we decorated sugar cookies. Yum!

Everyone in our family was sick in February at some point. Poor Jace got it pretty bad. Don't mind the yucky looking dinner. The breadsticks were bad, but the casserole actually tasted pretty good.
Gage got his first black eye. He walks all over the place now and has many owies from falling...as well as some Jace and Katie induced ones.
This is my favorite face he makes. We all think it's funny, including him. I also think it's funny that many of our pictures of him are in his highchair. I guess that's where we can get him to stay for more than one second.
Legos have been a hit at our house with people of all ages. It is a wonderful toy!And as a last note, I just signed Katelyn up for Kindergarten. Yikes! I'm so excited, so nervous, and so sad all at the same time. It will be a big change for us, but Katie's so ready. It will be fun to see her learn and grow and make friends.

I always enjoy your updates! Lily's hair is so fine that everything I try falls out pretty quick. Maybe I'll give it another shot. You've inspired me :)

Cute pics and of course cute kids. Good job with Katelyn's hair!! Taylee has been in to hair lately, making up for the last 3 years when she didn't want me to touch it. It's kind of fun actually. I LOVE gage's squishy, chubby cheeks!!! Looks like fun! (except the sick part) :(

I'm pretty sure Katie was talking about my house when she asked to go somewhere they don't do hair =). Kindy is a big change but she will LOVE it. I can't believe Gage is walking....he is just a newborn. Have I mentioned that I have the most stubborn baby in the world. He can walk across an entire room by himself but absolutely refuses to. If I stand him up he will dramatically fall back down and crawl.

That picture of Jace is so sad! But kind of funny. It's been fun hanging out with you guys!

So cute! You guys have been busy. I'm excited for Katie to go to Kindergarten. It's so exciting. And Gage is getting so big! I like Katie's hairdos! I'm sure Emmrie thinks the same about getting her hair done sometimes...
