The kids got money from Darrell's grandma, Grandma Nellie, for Christmas and they were FINALLY able to go to the store and spend it. Megan chose these 2 Monster High girls.
Emily bought this cute little bunk bed with twin dolls. (And Tyler bought a Spiderman Lego set, but I apparently never got a picture of it.)

Megan writing her name on her Valentine's
Emily doing her Valentine's
Tyler wanted to have a minion Valentine's box

It turned out cute. (Thanks Pinterest!)
What the girls' mouths and hands looked like after enjoying blue Fun Dips they got from their Valentine's party at preschool.
I helped do Tyler's class Valentine's party. (Thanks, again, Pinterest.)
Enjoying snacks and coloring Bingo papers
Here they had to cross the rug by only stepping on large paper hearts.
Emily and Megan had to come with me. Tyler's teacher (who has 4-year old twins too) was nice enough to get out paper, markers and stickers for them. Megan must have been wondering around the room when I took this picture of Emily.
Enjoying our heart-shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's the night before Valentine's.
Yummy donuts on Valentine's day.
Our traditional Valentine's dinner to In 'N' Out

We had a chance to attend another Grizzlies hockey game.


Emily, Tyler and Megan Love these cuties!

I love that my kids are able to play kid games now. Tyler got Trouble for Christmas, and it is one of the games I had growing up. (It's way better than Candyland and Chutes and Ladders, although the kids still like those games.) The kids can also play Go Fish, Crazy Eights and Old Maid so it's been fun to mix things up and play together as a family.
It was nice enough to get out and enjoy the back yard. I'm really trying to get them to learn how to pump on their own and they were getting the hang of it. (Notice Megan didn't have a dress or skirt on that particular day. That was an anomaly because she's worn a skirt or dress every day for MONTHS.)


Tyler enjoying his Hot Wheels track (while dressing as a chef with his apron and In 'N' Out hat.)
Tyler finally joined the "lost tooth" club. Once he discovered his tooth was loose, I had to get one last smile with all those cute baby teeth.
First lost tooth. He had a loose tooth for quite a few days, then one day he was eating a muffin at breakfast and it "got caught" in it. Good thing he didn't eat it or swallow it!
He lost the 2nd one 3 days later at school.

The girls enjoy going to story time at the library. We have been a few times to the bilingual one. They sing and read stories in English and Spanish. It's pretty fun.

Enjoying the bubbles at the end of story time.


I had the chance to attend a "Star Raising" party at the Make-A-Wish foundation. Sweet Ari was granted a wish through the foundation and then was invited back to add her star to the hundreds of others. What a wonderful foundation and a wonderful opportunity to celebrate Ari's life too.

I love the twin bunk bed thing! I would have loved something like that as a little girl! And that minion valentine box turned out so cute!! I love that you make an effort to support your YW outside of church. I've really tried to make that effort, but I seem to find excuses not to go to things. This week two of my girls are in a musical and I've been debating whether or not to go, but your post has helped me! I'm going to go! :) looks like you had a fun month!!
