Leap Day

FEBRUARY 29, 2012 HAPPY LEAP DAY!!

Today we had Payton's friend Avery over for some after school fun.

The girls and I made this fort and they watched Rio with their snacks!

WHAT is that???

The other day when I went in to get Oaklee up I found her like this!! I was a little (ok a lot) freaked out! I had no idea what this was. It looked like she had been bit by a million Mosquito's. It was red all over and little white bumps in the middle. She was itching like crazy. I thought what the?! I tried to diagnose online, looking at pictures, talking with grandmas, called her pediatrician (in Utah). They all said if it was Chicken Pox it would be small patches and begin to crust over. So we got some Benadryl, Oatmeal bath, and Calamine lotion to help her out.

I felt so so bad for her. She wasn't ornery or anything just itchy miserable.

Now today when she woke up NOTHING! It is all gone. Turns out it was most likely hives. I wrote down what I fed her the day before and the only thing that was different was an Alfredo sauce I bought. WONT DO THAT AGAIN!

Love my munchkin and glad that is gone, now lets get rid of this cold!!!

LOVE my Valentine

Justin and I saw this painting in a house we really wanted to rent when we first came to look at houses. We asked them where they got it and lucky for us it was still there!! For Valentines we treated ourselves to this picture. I LOVE the way it finishes our dining room!!

Payton's Valentines

We had a lot of fun making Payton's Valentines this year.

She wanted to make flowers for the girls and I saw this Bomb online for the boys.

WAY CUTE! The classes are much smaller here, only 18 kids in her class.

I Love that!

For the Boys in her class.

For her Girls in her class.

bye bye BINKIES!

Kennedy's first binky (hours old).

This was the smallest premie bink we could find and it was HUGE!

It almost covered her nose holes!

Binkies have been a constant love for Kennedy. 9 months
A usual, we always had to take it away for pictures.

Last weekend Kennedy said she wanted to buy a LaLaLoopsie like Payton. I jokingly said, "ok but you have to pay for her with ALL your binks." She said ok I don't need them anymore!! So I jumped on it. While these binks have been an AWESOME help through all the transitions, big girl bed, potty training, moving etc. I have wanted to be done with it for a while.

We put her "money" in a bag and off to the store we went.

She was SO excited about this mermaid LaLaLoopsie... Kennedy asks everyday if she can 'be a mermaid'... which means walk around naked on the bottom!

I just LOVE this sweet girl. She is such a joy to have around, she is my moodiest and whines alot, but she can be and say the CUTEST things ever.

She has done awesome without her binks. The first day at nap time she was very sad and cried that she needed her binks, but eventually fell asleep. That night we probably had to go in to her room 12 times it was terrible. She told me many times she needed to go back to the store and get her binks from the lady :)

However since then she has not asked for it once!!!

SUCCESS!!!

SNOW DAY IN Denver...

Friday we had the biggest and longest storm I've seen in a long time!

This was mid day Friday.
Out the front door.

Saturday after the storm had finished. This was on top of the hot tub!

We got 2 feet I'm guessing.

All we need is a little more energy to finish it up and it will be perfect!

This was a LONG storm. It was non stop for days. I was glad when it was over and we can enjoy the weekend playing in it!
