Valentines Day

Valentines day really isn't a huge day for our family.  The most I ever do is a Valentines day Breakfast.  So, here the kids are about to enjoy their pink heart pancakes.  Hunter and Kora were so excited for their Valentines Parties in their classes.  This year the kids passed out Krispy Kreme valentines, which allowed the recipient a free glazed donut.  You have to applaud Krispy Kreme for that wonderful give away.  The kids made sure they each got a valentine so they too could each get a free donut.  After school we went and got our free donuts. 

Skylar's Blessing

We blessed Skylar on Sunday, Feruary 5th.  Her Daddy gave her such a sweet little blessing.  We were fortunate to be able to share the day with many family members.  We took pictures of the day but unfortunately it was so sunny that we decided to stand in the shade.  The result was shadows in everyone faces.  Regardless, it's a documentation of the day. 

Mylie Turns 4

 Mylie has 2 favorites in her life.  Her first favorite is the color yellow.  She adores anything yellow.  Her second favorite is Tinker Belle.  Anything with Tinkerbell on it is her favorite.  I am not exactly sure which one has more priority over the other but naturally, for her birthday cake it would have to have yellow frosting, I made yellow cupcakes for our at home party.  She really wanted a Tinker Belle cake but I was afraid it would look like a hideous face instead so I went the easy way out and made a flower and put a Tinker Belle doll on top.  She was happy with it.  Our Mylie girl is a fun loving, happy, smiley girl.  She is very opinionated and pretty demanding for such a little thing.  She used to be the youngest of 3 and is now the middle child.  After being the baby for almost 4 long years she has become used to holding her own against her siblings.  We love having her in our family and love watching her little personality grow and develop.  She loves to sing and play and smile.   We love our Mylie Girl, who turned 4 on February 2nd.

Precious Baby, Loved by her Siblings

 The kids just can't get enough of her.

One Month Home Photo Shoot with Skylar

I decided to attempt taking my own pictures of Skylar at 1 month.  Here are some of the pictures.  Only Mylie was home with me when I took these so I only have a picture with her and Mylie.

 This was the picture I included in her birth announcement. 

 I love this picture because it looks like she's laughing at something. 

I love the way this picture turned out.  The big sister loving her baby sister. 

Kora Lost a Tooth

I realize this isn't such a great picture but I never realized how hard it is to take a picture of a missing tooth.  Kora lost her first tooth in December, shortly after Christmas.  One funny thing about this is just the day before, we were with family and her little cousin who is 7 months older than Kora lost his first tooth while eating breakfast.  Who would have guessed that Kora too would lose her first tooth just one day later.
