Valentines Day

This Valentines Day all of us had work off. Wayne has been taking 1 Sunday a month off so that he can go to church. That Sunday just so happened to be Valentines Day. That was a nice little gift to have him home and help me get the kids ready for church. Here is our little Rylee being her usual self.

Grandma Kathy gave Shea a Valentines dress. We also found sparkle shoes that were super duper on sale. Her is Shea just before we left for church.

Since money is tight, Wayne gave us a great Valentines present. He got up early and made us all breakfast. He even cut out the pancakes into hearts. Shea that is was the best!

Our little girls are growing up so fast. (And puppy) Mack, our golden retriever puppy, had his head placed on Rylee tummy and Rylee was playing with his ear. It was so cute, but by the time I got my camera he only had his paw on her. Don't worry, he is really gentle our her!

Rylee also has started baby food. She doesn't seem to mind the vegetable foods, which is strange to me. With Shea, I had to feed her only fruit! ha ha. If you can believe it, Shea actually took this picture. She is pretty darn good.

Shea is growing like a weed also. She had her second dentist appointment, and also had her 4 year doctor check up. Last year, the doctor had her do some things around the room like hop on one foot, walk in a straight line, tip toe, and walk on your heals. She remember all of it! The doctor didn't tell here to do any off it and she did it. She was so impressed on how good her memory is. (Which makes me a little nervous! ha ha)

She loves to sing, dance and color. She loves going to church and primary. I can't believe I have a 4 year old. Crazy.

Shea is 4 years old!

On February 3rd, our little Shea turned the big number 4! She was looking forward to her birthday for weeks, and when it finally came she was so excited. Through out the day she would yell "I'm so excited it's my birthday!" She made sure to tell everyone! She is in love with the Nightmare Before Christmas, so she insisted on that theme for her party. It was just us because I was worried about how the other mothers would feel about a Nightmare Before Christmas party! Turns out she isn't the only 4 year old who loves that movie. Oh well. I love how easily it is to please a child!

Here is the best I could do making a Jack cake. I put pudding and strawberries in the middle and when I frosted it, the pudding came out the sides. Another example of how easily children are to please because Shea loved it!

Here is our growing puppy Mack.

My two girls.

Rylee is growing up so fast. She is 4 1/2 months old and is so sweet. She is constantly smiling and loves to watch her big sister.

She is also rolling over - from her tummy to her back and her back to her tummy!

Here is a musical number from Shea.
