March

The countdown...

Baby Grant is born!
8 lbs, 2 oz, 20 inches long, March 3, 2019 3:40 PM. 





  










 

 


 


 Other things that happened: School dances (Kate wore a dress my mom made for me when I was 8), Science City trips with Dad and Grandma Jo, movies, ice cream with Grandma Harper, Kate and I went on a date before Grant came to get pedicures and crepes.  David has taken the kids on lots of fun outings so mom and Grant can get some rest.  The kids have adjusted so well to Grant and love him lots.  It was great to spend time with Grandmas here.  Grant is growing all the time and just doing great.  We had Spring Break last week, and thank goodness the weather was warmer and the kids got to play a lot outside.










  

HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY JULIE!



HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY




February

Annie and Julie love playing with their Russian dolls.  Kate got some paper dolls from Nana (Pam Yeates) and she was so nice to let Annie and Julie play with them, too.

 

 David found a cool new playground to take the kids to.

Horrible weather day meant that Annie and Julie were the only ones at their art class--they loved it!  They also love doing art at home.

 

Mason has been letting Julie sleep in his bed, and Annie is usually on a fold-out mat next to them on the floor.  It's not so scary at night if you're with a brave older brother!
 

 Kate read the book "Esperanza Rising" with dad, and afterwards they learned how to make a yarn doll like they do in the book.  Mason got a book series called the "Wild Robot" from his cousin Lily for his birthday, and he loved it.

 

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

  

 


We had some fun class parties, Kate made a beautiful cake that had real flowers on it like Aunt Michelle's wedding cake, we had heart shaped pizza for dinner, and the kids got fun packages from grandparents and friends.  Mason and Kate also enjoyed making their very own Valentine boxes to take to school to collect cards and treats from friends.


GREAT WOLF LODGE and MASON'S BIRTHDAY!







 
We had lots of fun swimming, eating cake and pizza, playing at the arcade, had a party with friends and played Smash Bros, and Mason got some fun presents and a hoverboard!

 Julie went to Above All during toddler time with Dad--lots of fun!  She also found a toy that she calls her ipad.


The kids made a cool obstacle course one day.




I took Mason and Kate in for check ups.  Both have minor scoliosis.  Julie LOVES stuffed animals and is always carrying around her current favorite for a few days.


And lots of snow!  We have had nine snow days from school this year.
