If it's the first time that spring, you bust out the swimsuits and water of course!

So nice
Thank you Walmart for having a kid accessible sink. It's always hard holding one baby and trying to hoist a toddler up to the sink.

Point Mother Nature
Beautiful Park Day
On president's day we enjoyed the beautiful day at they park while Joe worked on the floor. Poor Joe.
New Floor
We had to fix our damaged linoleum kitchen floor so we got this vinyl, plank click lock flooring. The Lowe's man said we could do it by ourselves no problem. Lies. After much time and frustration it is done. Joe is a patient man.
Valentine's Day
I really enjoyed Valentine's Day this year. The kids worked really hard to make thoughtful presents for each person in the family so they were especially excited. This was also the first time Whitney got excited for a present (princess hair stuff) so that was fun.
For our date we did a Bob Ross at home painting. Our trees weren't as happy as Bob's.
Science Fair District
Rachel's science fair project advanced to District level. Go Rachel!
In the picture below she is being judged.
Project ocd
I love a good project. I usually go overboard on them and this project was no exception. For a Relief Society activity we made sacrament reverence books that had pictured of Jesus and stories. I made about seventy with some help. Lily took this picture.
Lily
Lily loves grandpa and is so excited he's coming to visit in May. She made him a packing list. She tells me she's going to marry grandpa. She tells me grandma can marry Uncle Kevin. Below is a picture of her brushed hair. The brushed part doesn't happen very often. I wanted to post this so I remember her pretty hair.
Vegetables
Rachel was having blood sugar issues and passed out in class. I went searching for answers and was referred to Dr. Fuhrmann's book Eat for Health by Joe's sister Jenny. We've changed our diet and Rachel is doing a lot better. I've historically been an unadventurous vegetable hater. This picture shows all the vegetables I cut up for a meal. Joe had to cut the mushrooms because they still gross me out:).
100 Days of School
They kids celebrated100 days of school and Lincoln's teacher said they could dress up like they were100 years old. This is grey haired Lincoln.
Snow Day
We've had a wonderfully mild winter, but we did get one snow day so they took advantage of the inch and a half of snow and went sledding.
Big girl Whitney
Whitney has started to want to be a big kid. Her attempts to copy them are pretty cute. She's playing Wii Just Dance here and wiggling her little booty. Joe plays toothbrush monster at bedtime and Whitney will try to have him smell her breath like the big kids so he won't get her. Below is a picture of Joe traumatizing Whitney with an emoji pillow.
