Too Much Snow!

We have had quite a February! Close to 30 inches of snow has fallen on us over the last few weeks. I must admit, at the beginning of it, almost 3 weeks ago, it was so fun, but now it is getting a bit old and I am very anxious for spring to arrive! The girls have had a blast playing in it, though! Above are a few pictures from our February adventure!

Valentine's Day Surprise

The girls and I decided on Valentine's Day to throw a surprise dinner for Justin. They were so excited about it! (I was too!) So, we made him a heart shaped invitation requiring him to wear a tie and they helped me make some pink pancakes...that were suppose to be heart shaped, but that plan failed miserably, along with some pink eggs and milk in wine glasses. The girls (including Bella) and I got dressed up and set the table with confetti, streamers, candles and flowers. We bought Justin a picture frame with a picture of all the girls for his desk at work along with his very own Ken doll! Malia thought that he needed a boy doll to play with when we play Barbies. It was such a fun night!

Susan and Lucy

For about the past 3 weeks, Malia and Pressley have been obsessed with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Justin read them the book over the coarse of a couple nights before bed and then they watched the movie. Then asked to read the book again...so they are on round 2. If that is not enough, they play Lucy and Susan all the time...calling me Mrs. Beaver, Justin anything from Mr. Beaver to Peter, and Lily is Aslon. It's gotten to the point, that when someone they do not know asks their name, Pressley will say that her name is Lucy, and the person, not knowing the truth, will say, "Well hello, Lucy!". It's really quite funny!!

Meet Isabella

Here is our newest family member, Isabella Nicole Bowers!! She was born on Friday, November 13! She's 6 weeks old now, weighs 10.3 pounds and is 22 inches long! She's such a content and quiet baby and is already a great sleeper...we really hope she keeps that up!

Fun with Two

Here are a few pictures of the last few days with just my girls! After Friday we'll have 3 little ones! We've been enjoying our last days as a family of 4 and also enjoying the warm November weather! I"ll try to post pictures of our newest addition, but seeing as I have not kept up on this blog, I will make no promises! Enjoy our pictures!

Cute Things They Say...

Malia:
Stop it! I'm trying to learn!

We learned about Joseph today (at MOPS). He went to jail. I don't know if he was wearing his seatbelt or not.

Me: Watch your mouth! Malia: I can't watch my mouth! My eyes are above it!

Why don't God and Jesus live in houses?

Daddy, can I feel your heart? I think when your heart goes in Jesus pushes it out b/c he lives in your heart.


Pressley:
I don't WANT to lose!

I bwessued and I bwode my nose.

Can we play Eat, Eat Hippos?

Don't take me off the Naughty List! I am the Naughty List! What's the Naughty List?
