February

I know we aren't quite done with the month yet, but who am I kidding? It's now or never.

We went to the Children's Museum last week.

 I have never seen two kids love a baby more than these! :)

 Happy Valentine's Day!! Yes he needed a hair cut. We got one today!!

 It is finally above freezing so they got to play in the snow yesterday.

 Connor LOVES to play in the snow. (although he might love the fact that he gets hot chocolate when he comes in more..)

 See that little tiny patch of concrete below Kate? That is where she stood for 25 minutes.

 Then she went around the corner and was in actual snow.

 Then she cried and came inside. She said, "I don't like snow!"

 Then they got to go back out when Daddy got home!

January

I took the kids to Disney on Ice a couple weeks ago. It was Princesses and Heroes. Kate is WAY into Princesses and Connor just recently became WAY into Heroes (more like the Spiderman variety of Hero, but a good 'ol Prince was fine for him). 

 Apparently they are both in shock. 

 Kate actually looked like this for the first half of the show. She just stared and did not move or speak or show any emotion. The second half, however, was a different story. She LOVED it the second half. Every time a princess would skate by she would wave to them and say their name. She clapped for about 10 minutes without stopping. Here she is pointing to a princess. 

 Poor third kid hasn't made the blog in a while. Here he is. 

A. Dorable. 

December

 The MOPS family Christmas party - decorating cookies.

 Kate is soooo excited to see Santa.. I had to hold her back and make her wait on the couch. Connor, on the other hand, was running away as fast and far as he could. Not too excited... more terrified than anything. He did manage to ask Santa for an airplane for the movie Planes, so that was progress.

 Kate could not WAIT to go play in the snow. She was getting dressed a good half hour before we (and by we I mean Katie took them outside while I stayed inside and made lunch) went outside.

 She put on her own hat, and when she couldn't find her gloves she got the oven mitts off the counter top.

 She lasted five minutes, cried the whole time, then came inside. Now, anytime we get out of the car, if she has to stand in the snow she cries. Apparently she is not a fan of snow.

 Daddy took Connor outside to build a snowman. They could have stayed out their and played all day.

 Adorable.

So I just realized there aren't any pictures of Mason. haha - well, he just recently started smiling, so before that, there isn't much to photograph. Will get some over Christmas! I do have a video of him from about a month ago from when he first started laughing and smiling - I just missed the laughing, but he is still adorable.

Kate LOVES her singing Minnie Mouse!

Kate's Second Birthday Party!

Kate Renee LOVES Minnie Mouse! So, of course, we did a Minnie Mouse birthday party. And, if you know me at all, you know I have a crafting issue that could probably use an intervention... however, that has yet to happen, so here are the pictures...

 Here are all the kid's favors - they all got their own individual cup with something on it that they are interested in, a lid and straw to go with it, a mickey or minnie ring pop, a pink or red necklace, and Minnie stickers. The girls also got a Minnie Mouse bow that I made and the boys got a Mickey Mouse airplane.

 Oh, and they also got ears - the girl's had a bow and the boy's did not. However, not a single child wore the ears for more than 2 minutes... Awesome use of my time making them for everyone lol

 I thought these cupcakes were so cute!

 Goofy's Gulp Station

 She LOVED her cape! There is a video at the end of her running around with it - which she did for 10 minutes - pausing for applause after each lap.

 She is wondering why we won't let the birthday girl eat her cupcake...

 I am so mad that I can't figure out how to turn this picture right side up, because it is perfect... so just turn your head to the right so you can see! He is wearing the mickey mouse hat that Katie made him for the party - it is perfect!
Connor also had a shirt just like Mason and Kate's (with his name on it, obviously).. apparently I can't ever remember to get a family picture, or even one of all three kids at once... oh well...

video of Kate in her super hero cape and mask

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATE RENEE!! WE LOVE YOU!!
