Redd's Bread

Papa Hensley makes some yummy banana bread and my kids are big fans! I came into the living room and here was Redd pounding the bread. He had claimed it and it was the cutest!

Time to help Mama with dinner. Roo loves to cook. He's a great helper.

Oh sweet baby, you are so loved!

 

Janurary Phone Favorite

I feel like January was a complete wash of a month. A false start to the year. I feel like with CoCo and all the crazy this month brought that I really needed a do over. Alas, time does not work that way, but here is a wrap up of a very slow and lsightly sad/ pathetic month. Perhaps I will be a bit more on the ball for February (I typed this is March spoiler alert....I did not get on the ball.)

Baby snuggles are the best! even if he's not really a "baby" anymore.

A oh-its-past-chirtsmas-but-we're-doing-this-puzzle-anyways puzzle.

Quick and easy puzzles are the best. This one was adorable!

The Burg's called and said they were in town and wanted to drop off some cookies. they were visiting from Austin and we ended up spending the rest of the evening with them. So great to catch up!

0mn1cron was spreading the world (Coco variant) and churhc on Sunday was sparse. Little did I know that I would start showing symptoms that evening. I felt completely fine at church. 

E has been eying this Ivy City Co dress for quote awhile so I got us matching ones for Christmas. She was pretty thrilled. I love matching with my mini. 

 

 Now we need to wear them to Harry Potter World. 

Feeling pretty.

While I was down and out, E made dinner. I taught her hwo to make Chicken Noodle Soup and it turned out fabulously!

Making cookies from her cookbook with Roo. She is one patient sister!

Duke finished his build!! It took him awhile but he did it all himself and I am so dang proud of him!

I challenged E to make different food out of playdoh. I thought I stumped her with soup. Nope, she delivered!

Cheesing with this babe.

WE had some snow and the kids played! It made my heart so happy. Here is Baby Bob.

And Winky.

Roo found boots and a backpack and he was alll sorts of excited to go to school with the kids. Not yet little man, not yet.

This is why Roo isn't allowed to help me with dinner. He has his own pot and is slurping up the water then spitting it back into the pot. Oh sweet mercy this boy.

Just your typical shopping cart ride. 

Packing Peanut fun.

A super fun craft at Wonderscope. You pick out three animals and then turn them into an animal. The girl there was a wonderful cartoonist, E loved this station.

Alright February, we have big plans for you. Starting a renovation, Valentines week and E's birthday. It's going to be busy but hopefully we'll get a lot done. (Spoiler alert, we got some things done.)

Finally some Snow

We finally got some snow!!!!!! It wasn't a white Christmas but we got some snow and I was THRILLED! 

WE broke out the toboggans and headed to the hill. It was freaking chilly. That wind was no joke!

It there anything cuter than a baby in a snowsuit?

I seriously doubt it.

Sprout wanted to go down allllll of the big hills. That boy is fearless.

Best of friends. These two were so cute sliding down and sharing toboggans with their younger brothers.

Sprout waiting outsdie the house for Josh & Callie to come play.

Baby Bob the Snowman.

And Winky the Snowwoman.

It didn't last for long, but we had fun while we had it.

February Phone Favorites

Oh February, there were ups there were some scary times. There were birthdays and snuggles and creations. It was a busy month and I feel like the rest of the year is going to fly by just as fast. Here are a round up of this months favorites. 

These two making the same exact face has me cracking up.

Please let me bottle these moments up forever!

You're children may be half Canadian if they are outside playing when it's -20F. That wind was NO joke!

This was giving me all the feels!

Getting some homework done.

Making our own little roller coaster.

This used to be just a fun shirt (I got this at Savers when Duke was little) now it's a political statement and it makes me cringe. 

Sunday lessons at home give me all the warm fuzzies. I LOVE home church. I love the spirit it brings into our home. I love the peace. My favorite!

Just a boy wearing his Daddy's hat and holy SWOON. This boy melts my heart!

Birthday dinner at Braden's house. Such a fun group. And that's a wrap on February. Now to puphot the finishing touches on E's birthday party. Wooo hooo!!!
