January Picture Post

Get ready for lots of pictures. 

These are pictures from mine and Sean's phones mostly.

Unfortunately, I have not been very good at using my real camera lately.

I blame a lot of that on my pregnancy and lack of energy.

I will be better at using my camera once our baby is born.

...

 It snowed. Multiple times.

Eli loves helping clear the driveway.



Eli brought home a pet worm from preschool.

We did lots of art during cold winter days.

The kids got flu shots. It was horrible. We had to hold down the older two. They were hysterical.
Here are the girls stats from their visit.

Eli loved having sleep overs in Lexi's room on Friday nights.

A picture from one of my shopping trips. It is so much work to feed our family!

Lexi being silly.

Book worms.

Ruby loves playing with Little People and their houses.

I love it when these two play together nicely.

Lexi's Half Birthday was on the 6th. Which was the morning I flew to California.

So she got her present first thing in the morning before I left.

That night Sean made her a special dinner and brownies and ice cream for dessert.

I pulled out dress up clothes for Ruby and she instantly loved them!

I love this picture I got of our bunnies all eating together.

Eli really loves our bunny Cookie. She is his favorite.

Our bunnies love to dig holes and tunnels.

Here's one tunnel they dug. 

I filled it in because I was worried about someone walking over it and it caving in on our bunnies.

It was a really impressive tunnel, two or three feet long.

Sean put a weather vane on top of our playhouse.

Eli loves being outside and playing in the dirt. Or in this case, snow with his cars.

Eli started taking an interest in writing words and names.

Here's an attempt to write his and his sisters' names.

Eli also recently started drawing.

I love his artwork.

Here's Lexi wearing my Lively Fively hat from high school.

Here's some pictures from a Saturday where our family played outside in the snow...

First, adorable Ruby all ready to go build a snowman.

All of the kids were excited to build snowmen.

Eli got distracted and started eating his snowman's nose.

That same day, our neighbors, the Chestnuts, gave us their snow blower.

They're an older couple and wanted a less powerful snow blower that was less heavy.

But we're excited to have it next year.

Here's a beautiful sunrise view from my bedroom window.

Eli often asked me if his brother was awake and if he is, Eli will talk to my belly.

Here's a picture Avery drew of Harry fighting Lord Voldemort.

Eli loves playing on the computers at the library after story time.

Sean is like a kid magnet. Our children love snuggling him.

I went to temple square one Saturday with the other Stake Young Women leaders.

We took all the young women in our stake out to lunch who earned their medallion last year.

Afterwards we walked around the temple.

And here's the temple from the top of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.

In January I taught Lexi's class art again. This time we did mosaics.

Sean took this picture. He and Eli were laying in bed watching a movie together.

And here's a picture of Eli watching a movie.

Ruby waking up from her nap.

At the end of January, Sean took both the girls to the Daddy Daughter Prom.

He bought them each flowers. They were so excited!
