February

February 9th- 7 weeks. How could I be showing that soon?! I thought I had twins.

Leftover Halloween candy. We even had leftovers after using it for our stockings! This was a reward for Addysin reciting scriptures that Chris taught her. She memorized 2 Nephi 32:3 and the 1st & 2nd articles of faith! Caiden would get a treat too for her efforts :)

At the time, Caiden loved the movie "The Three Mousketeers" with Mickey Mouse in it. So when he found out there was candy named 3 musketeers, I dont know if he really loved the taste or the name. Its always the one he picked.

A kitten we found on the farm. The kids love it here!

On Valentines day we do a tradition from Chris' family called the "Secret Sweetheart", which is us. But the tradition is that she comes and leaves a gift on the doorstep on Valentines Day. We hadn't gotton anything yet, so we went to town and I got them their gifts and the Secret Sweetheart appeared at Chris' office (so that Chris could take part). I got flowers! That was a surprise.

Caiden was ready for a nap

Addysin lost her pony from Santa so she got a new one!

Caiden got Lightening McQueen and Doc Hudson. He was obsessed and took them everywhere. He lost them a month later. 

 For our date, my sisters babysat. We tried to go to Olive Garden but  the wait was so long that we decided on Taco Bell. Sounds crazy, but it was one of the sick pregnant women cravings I was having. It was SO good. I think Chris was wondering what was wrong with me. Then we went to my froyo, which is so good. 

Since I didn't get Olive Garden earlier, Me, Bryan, and the kids went for lunch on his birthday. Its a tradition for us on his birthday (when we are in the same state).

 Chris turned 27. Addysin loves celebrating birthdays! We bought him balloons and she drew on a card for him. 

 On sunday morning we woke up a little early to make a big lunch and she spent an hour drawing this!!

top line says "I (heart) U DAD", third line "ADDY" second line "SIN" (she ran out of space). fourth line "I (heart) U! and then cupcake balloons at the top and presents at the bottom. 

 I told her not to wake him up and she listened... until I went somewhere else in the house. She just couldn't wait to get his birthday started! We had my family over for lunch after church.

 Chris went through an obsessive avacado planting period. Addysin always watched him. One night when he was gone I was making Guacamole. She said she had to plant it. She got all the supplies out and did it just like dad!

 My nephew Nova's last basketball game of the season we went to. It was fun!

 Afterwards we went to Dairy Queen for lunch. I LOVE going to lunch, and so do the kids. Chris works 6 days a week so I am always glad to get out on a Saturday with someone or have something to do. 

 Our cuties...

 BOOM! getting big, and fast! February 28th- 10 weeks. I had found out that week I was not carrying twins. Chris kept saying, "she (ultrasound tech) could've missed the other one!) I have been wearing maternity pants or pajamas since this point. Wow, I know. Dont worry, I think I've slowed down and look pretty normal now.

 Addysin steers clear of crust. 

 I HATE LAUNDRY!
