Feb. was a busy month!

Man am I behind in blogging. My problem isn't that I don't have anything to blog about it is, I don't have the time to blog. Trying to get Bryan moved home , homeschooling & 3 birthdays in 1 1/2 weeks has kept us extremely busy. February was a really busy month. So if you have time & my computer will let me I will update you on our month. Yes, I realize it is already halfway into March, so like I said I am so behind.

February was a great month for us. Bryan moved home, YEAH!

And our sweet Bryce was baptised. It was such a special day. We had lots of family & friends here to share in this special day. Bryce looked so handsome in his suit. He was so excited when he woke up & couldn't wait until 3 o'clock for his baptism. Bryan & I were so excited that our first child was being baptised. We looked forward to this day ever since he was born. I am so proud of him & the example he is setting for his little brother & little sisters.

He also looked so handsome in his white suit. (but unfortunately I have misplaced my cd with all the pictures from his baptism & birthday party & I had some really cute ones. I will have to keep looking & post them later!) He was really excited about his baptism that he forgot to be nervous about the water. He shared his special day with a friend from his primary class. So, we shared the program with them. Grandpa (Faren) gave the talk about Baptism & his Grami (Pam) gave the opening prayer. Kaycee & Cheree helped us out with the music & Savanah & Brayden sang "When Jesus Christ was baptised". We had such a wonderful day with our family & are so thankful for all those that came to share this day with us. Bryce said it was the best day of his life & loves being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!

Since our Princess Savanah was born right after Bryce we had her party the same weekend as Bryce's baptism. So those that came in got 2 in 1. Savanah loves Ariel (since they both have red hair) & wanted to have a Princess Ariel Party. We had bought a Little Mermaid costume on clearance after Halloween & she wanted to wear it. She looked so beautiful in her costume. Since she was wearing a costume I thought it would be fun for all her friends to dress up also.




We invited all her friends to wear their princess dresses also. When they came to the door we had bubbles blowing & had the hall & living room with streamer making an underwater world. Bryce drew most of our decorations. Since he loves to draw he drew lots of fish & shells. It looked awesome. We played princess games & painted the girls nails. The girls had lots of fun & Savanah had a blast. Fun was had by all. Needless to say Mommy was pretty tired after 2 days of partying!

February also brought us an ice storm. Good ole' Texas Ice storms. NO, we really don't ever get snow, we get BLACK ice. The fun stuff that causes lots of accidents & isn't really fun to play in. Just plain cold. Well, the kids had fun going out and picking the ice off the chairs & grill.

We also did alot of fishing in February. For those of you not familiar with Texas winter, yes this was in the SAME month as the ice storm. In Texas 1 day it is freezing cold, the next & I do mean the next day it is hot & sunny. I can't complain though because we spent alot of time out doors this winter.

We also took Daddy to the zoo. We had a blast at the Dallas Zoo. We loved looking at all the animals. The also had a great time at the childrens park inside the zoo. They had this fun egg right beside a large birds nest. The slide looked like a tree stump. They had rabbits, chickens, goats, cows & horses to pet. We had a great day.

The zoo now has a bird area where you can go in with popsicle sticks that have bird seed on them & feed the birds. As soon as we went in a bird landed on my head. Before that one left I ended up with 1 on my backpack also. The kids thought that was so funny. I have to say I was really nervous about ending up with a present on my head from it especially since he spent about 5 min. on my head. I am thankful for all the fun outing Bryan & I have been able to take the kids on. We really enjoy being outdoors with our kids & taking them to fun places to explore.

At the end of the month we got to go to Bryce's pinewood derby. Since turning 8 Bryce LOVES going to scouts. He is having alot of fun & especially loved building his car with grandpa & painting it with his daddy. Bryce lost the first race, won 2 races & then tied the last one, but he felt like a winner and that is what counts. I was worried about him being upset about not winning the ribbon, but he was just happy that he won 2 & tied 1, so he felt like a winner. Doesn't he look handsome in his scout uniform? (It was another cold day in TX that day!)

I am thankful for the wonderful February that we had as a family. Bryan took the month off (after being gone for more than 6 months from us, besides an occassional visit) and we loved every minute of it. We feel blessed to have him in our lives.

March has been awesome so far too! Hopefully I will have time to write about it in the next day or 2.
