President's Day/Birthday

Since I didn't really get to celebrate my birthday on my birthday, Mike surprised me by taking me (and Collin) to North Platte for lunch yesterday. Neither one of us had to work because of President's Day, so it worked great. We had a really fun day.

Collin didn't like the bright sun in his eyes, so I let him borrow my sunglasses.

He loves it when the race car at Menard's is not in use by someone else. :)

We went out to the play area, and I looked over to see that he had found someone's hat to wear...hope they didn't have cooties! :)

Enjoying a frosty on the way home.

Collin had some too, but then he was too tuckered out to finish it.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Meeting New Baby!

We got to go to the hosptial last night to see my new niece, Toria. It was so much fun to hold her! The kids loved it too. Collin kept wanting to kiss the baby, so I let him kiss her feet. :) She was the exact same weight that Kendra was when she was born...hard to believe she was that tiny. Welcome to the family, Toria!

New Clothes, Hairstyles, Bath Time and Potty Time

This is just kind of a random post of things going on around here. I ordered some clothes for the kids on clearance, and Collin has been loving them. The other morning he had a bath, and wanted his new football shirt on, and then asked me to fix his hair. I just had to snap a couple of pictures.

Here he is enjoying his bath. I think he would live in the bath tub if I would let him.

I went into the bathroom the other day, and discovered this paper taped to the wall. Kendra made this potty sticker chart for Collin. He loves it, especially since we found Thomas train stickers to put on it. He is doing so good, hardly any accidents anymore. I love how she wrote WOW! on it. :)

New Sink

Mike took the week off to spend with me, which has been really nice. And, he has tackled a lot of household projects too! He put in a new kitchen sink and faucet, and I love it. I also love that I now have a garbage disposal!

The old sink...yeah, don't look too close....I know it's dirty. :)

Collin helped clean up the mess afterwards.

My shiny new sink!

Sunny Days

Yesterday was really nice, and I felt pretty good, so I spent quite a bit of time outside with Mike and the kids. It was nice to get out.

Then we had some fun with markers, scissors, glue and stickers. :)

Friends and Family

I am so thankful for friends and family! My birthday was Saturday, but I was in the hospital for half of the day. I had surgery, and I really didn't feel much like a party! :) so many people remembered me by sending flowers, cards and balloons, and bringing us meals. We appreciate it all so much. THANK YOU!
