February was full of fun, and once again, I'm baffled at how quickly it flew by.
Daddy returned home from his missions trip to Haiti.
His time there was spent building houses with a group of men from our church.
Maybe I can get him to dedicate a post to his trip with some stories and pictures!
He was greeted with open arms upon his arrival home,
including Maycie walking to him for the first time ever!
That's right folks, our youngest daughter Maycie started walking before 9.5 months!!!
She wanted to keep up with her big sisters, and learning to walk sure helps with that.
This might just be the #1 time of the day on all three of their lists.
They. LOVE. bath time.
Not only is she walking, she's found a way to reach just a little bit higher!
Mom, we're going to go on a walk!
Spending some quality time with Daddy before he takes off in a few days to go snowmobiling.
Natalie was getting ready for bed one evening while Tony was gone in Haiti.
She fell down the stairs and hurt her elbow.
I let it play out for about 10 days and it was still bothering her so I finally took her to the doctor.
She was in a splint for a while to let her elbow rest up and fully heal.
Happy Valentine's Day Daddy!
Maycie's 1st Valentine's Day.
She started giving kisses this month...just in time for a day celebrating love.
Beware though, she gives open mouth kisses that are quite slobbery!
We were fortunate to have some really pleasant days amongst
the below zero temperatures while Tony was gone snowmobiling.
Time to get the girlies outside for some much needed fresh air.
I had to run in and grab my camera because in Aleah's chalk drawing on this
beautiful day my little girl hit a milestone.
If you look closely by her knees, she drew her first 'person' (it is Daddy).
When this happened with Natalie, it was on paper so I could save it in her memory box.
This picture will be what goes into Aleah's memory box!
And here is Natalie with her picture of Daddy, and her name that she is ever-so-proud to write out!
We went out for a walk at dusk and caught a beautiful sunset!
This was the next day...glorious temperatures again!
Miss Maycie enjoying her swing.
I haven't heard this many giggles come from her before!
Natalie kept getting stuck in the snow with her tractor.
Problem solved.
Once Daddy returned from his trip, it was time to open the cards and packages we'd received for Valentine's Day from those afar.
Thank you for the beautiful card and bracelets Addie and Harrison!!!
Thanks to Papa and Nana for the dresses from Hawaii!!
Natalie talked Daddy into taking her sledding after lunch.
He went fast.
She wiped out.
She got back on.
He went fast.
She wiped out.
Full barrel roll and face in the snow this time.
She got back on.
She LOVED it!
One of Natalie's biggest fans was cheering her on from inside the house!
Natalie and Aleah learned to arm wrestle and thumb wrestle.
This video makes me laugh. Hard.
This happens to be where Miss Maycie likes to hang out quite often.
So proud of herself here, clapping away!
Taking baby sister for a stroller ride.
Maycie climbs into the stroller and just sits and waits until either
Natalie or Aleah notices and gives her a ride around the kitchen.
We had a fun time as a family attending some basketball games toward the end of the month.
District 3-C's tournament was in Wolf Point, so we were able to catch a few
of the LCHS boys' games on their to winning the championship!
The girls love seeing their friends at games, cheering on some of their
favorite players from the dorm, and dancing to the band's music.
To finish out the last day of the month, we were blessed to have our dear friend Regan come and stay with us. Her 13th birthday is March 1st, and she wanted to spend it with our family!!!
We prepped the room for her arrival, complete with a "Reganator" sign!
Chocolate peppermint milkshakes for dessert on night #1 of her bday stay.
My girls ADORE her!
She is such a great role model for them.
I look forward to many more memories with she and her family!
You'll have to wait until the March post to hear about the rest of her stay.
Blessings to all that read up on our family happenings.
We are TRULY blessed and pray that Jesus is filling your time here on
Earth with as much love and joy as we feel.
Crazy to think that its only just a fraction of
the love and joy we will experience in eternity with Him!!!!
