February has been a busy busy month.

February was a busy month.  We went to Vegas, Mexico, Disneyland 2 or 3 times and had a lot of fun.  Here is our life in pictures.

This little girl is the most precious thing! She is almost 1 which is So hard to believe.
 California Adventure with the McPhies (Andrew is on the seat next to me).  We stayed until 10 pm that night! Yikes! The boys were troopers, until Landon fell asleep at 9:15 in the stroller.
 Landon and Katie Jane (future couple) riding the carousel together.
 I love these 4 little boys.  We didn't even coordinate the red shirts - that's how in sync me and Megan are.
 Future best girl buddies.  Aspen is watching her brothers and Katie is watching the roller coaster!
 Landon is a natural soccer player.  He gets frustrated with the pre-soccer drills and often just takes off dribbling the ball.  This is one of my favorite things that we do because Aspen is asleep, so it's just me and the little guy while Hunter is at school.
 GOAL!
 Him and his buddies in the net.
 My sweet baby girl.  She is 4 months old today.  I wish I could stop time and just snuggle her.  She is just such a sweet sweet baby.  I want to nibble on her thighs.
 This picture is for my Gramma.  She LOVES her blankie and sleeps with it for every nap and at night time until she comes in bed with us.
 Here is her room.  Megan made that sign that is over her crib, so I love it.
 We didn't change too much about the room, just added some girly touches (and a new rug).
 Butterflies Gramma! your favorite!

 I made this.  Are you impressed? You should be.
 We had a super fun birthday party at the park so we walked with the wagon.
 It was a superhero theme so the kids got to make a cape and pick out a mask. Hunter Hero
 Landon Love!
 Wow! he is sooo strong!
 Running the obstacle course
 We have a balloon thief on the loose!
 Wow! Such muscles!
 Cupcake time.  I've noticed so many changes in Hunter in the last few months.  I think school is really helping him in a lot of ways.  He has an easier time sitting and has finer motor skills.  He can write his name, recognize all the letters and their sounds.  He likes to play with numbers but I'm not sure he understands what they mean.  Sometimes I think  he can read, but I think it's more of a guessing game than anything else.
 Landon and his cupcake.  Just plain cute. Speaking of preschool though, we got him into preschool for the fall but the more I think about it, the more I want to keep him home until he's 3....
 After the superhero party (Happy birthday Hamilton and Beckett) we went home for a nap and then hit another birthday party.  This was Marty, Landon's friend's 2nd birthday.  And yes, Landon is still obsessed with all things train.
 Happy birthday Marty!
 3 of my girlfriends went with me to get my garments on Tuesday.  It was SO much fun to have a mom's morning out with just the 2 little girls.  Between us we have 12 kids! We got my garments and then had lunch.  It was pretty fun to see Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) getting his garments too.
 On that Thursday night I had a little get together.  We made appetizers and desserts.  I pictured it going a little bit differently and next time I will make it more organized, but it will definitely happen again.  These lades stayed over until midnight! We had so much fun.  I feel like I just started doing things for myself again.  On Wednesday night I go to knitting and stay until 10.  What a party animal. Ha. And on that Tuesday I had gone to a mom's night function for Hunter's preschool.  It's been nice to feel like a person again and not just a mom!
 Last weekend we went to Catalina with Rachel and her boyfriend.  Here we are on the boat.
 It was a gorgeous weekend! It was in the upper 70s and so clear.  The weather couldn't have been better.  Unfortunately, there is just so little for kids this age to do on the island.
 They did get ice cream every night!
 Princess
 Kisses from the big brother
 Landon decided that the air mattress was agreat trampoline.  He even started jumping off of the red chair, onto the bed.
 As a parent I am obligated to take embarrassing photos.

 My sweet peanuts sleeping after a long fun day!
Rachel and Clayton were so excited to play with the boys.
 This was before we went on the semi-submersible submarine.  Shockingly, Hunter can say that!
 He loves his Rachel.
 Me and Landon and Aspen

 She wanted to see too!
 All of us!

My little boys.  They really are best buddies and I just think it is So cool.

 Us!
 Sleepy Landon and angel Aspen

Cuddly Hunter.  So sweet when he's sleepy.

 We went to Disneyland again on monday.  I'm trying to get Landon warmed up to the characters because of our Disney cruise next month! I hope he gets more comfortable with them.  He will say "hi" but is perfectly happy just to stand and look at them.
 Hunter hugs Mickey

It's been a beautiful month.  Last night Brian and I went through the Temple.  That was a neat experience and a bunch of people drove down to go through with us.  It made us feel super special.  We're excited to be Sealed in June!

Tomorrow we leave for Salt Lake City and then to Jackson Hole.  I couldn't be more excited.  Me and ALL of our luggage.  Wow.  Cold weather = a ton of stuff!

You went through the temple?! Congratulations! I hope it was a great experience for you both. I love reading your blog and keeping up with you. Maybe next time I take the kiddo to Disney, we'll have to get together!
