Because of all of the snow this month we were unable to do a birthday party for Iris and Jonas. We decided to take them to the bowling alley today to celebrate their birthdays as a family. The bowling alley has a small game area where you use tokens and can win tickets to turn in for prizes. It was a little chaotic trying to keep track of all of the kids but they had a good time! I think their two favorite games were the fishing game and the spider web game that you step on the different points when the lights lite up. The kids also tried ski-ball but they were not quite strong enough to get the balls up the ramp. They all won a surprising amount of tickets and got some prizes that they like a lot. Iris got a glow bracelet, candy and a pencil. Tyler used his tickets for a pencil, a frog toy, candy and a flag toy. Pearl was thrilled with her necklace, candy and pinwheel (which she was kind enough to give to Jonas) and Jonas got a model airplane set that daddy helped him build. They also shared and then spilled an orange soda which I got refilled for them. After we left the bowling alley we took them to get Ice Cream. I think Iris and Jonas had a very good time at their family “party”!

Why sleep on the perfectly good bed when you can sleep on the ground like a silly?

Jonas had a good 2nd Birthday.  He played puzzles for the first part of the day.  When I came home, I gave him a caterpillar birthday cake and a Sesame Street book.  At night we went out to Target to buy him a gift and he bought an Elmo doll.  After all the excitement he finally fell asleep with his big sister.  Check out the pics below!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentines Day weekend. We did! On Saturday we went to Warrenton and had a nice bbq lunch at red hot and blue and followed that up with some cold stone creamery ice cream. We got books for the kids and headed home. On Sunday we just spent time as a family and went to church. The kids opened their valentines presents and had fruity valentines day pancakes. Daddy also made them a nice raspberry jello for a special treat. I’m so grateful for my wonderful family, friends and ward! Consider yourselves all hugged and enjoy our valentines day pictures! Its rare to get family pictures.
