Catching Up

We have been busy the last few weeks. Cameron has been working crazy hours and the kids have been busy with all kinds of activities. Thankfully, our weather hasn't been too snowy, but it's still too cold to play outside. 
I wanted to capture this picture of David lining up his cars on the couch.  We always have to move them at night to sit on the couch.
Anna is doing really well with her eating. She uses her pinchers well to pick up chunks of food on her tray. I haven't tried too much solid food, but we're getting there. She loves banana, strawberry, grapes and green pepper so far. She prefers to eat food over her jars these days and she LOVES puffs!
During our last cold spell, I took all three kids by myself to see Frozen Sing-Along during the week. Thankfully, there was only like 5 other people in the entire theater. They did great. Presley and David watched the whole thing and Anna played and nursed, then fell asleep. It was a little crazy how easy it ended up being, but I was so thankful they were all so good! Presley is obsessed with this movie and David now knows all the songs, too!
One night at dinner, I was prodding David to eat, so here he is showing me how a TRex eats!
Then, Presley's turn! Although, she's still always a great eater!
I've been trying to do fun activities with David at least one day while Presley is at school (instead of running errands or exercising). We met some friends at this cool coffee shop downtown one week that had a fun play area for the kids. 
Opening up their Valentine's Day package from G and D.
Eating one of the treats inside!
I transitioned Anna into her bigger bathtub now that she is sitting up so well on her own. She loves it!
We took the kids to the new Bass Pro Shop last weekend to look around. They loved all the animals and the giant fish tank.
David has just started painting with Presley and he is obsessed! He will wake up from his nap asking if it's time to paint. 
Here are some pictures of the trees one morning when we got a good frost! It was really pretty (and thankfully it didn't hinder the roads).
Presley and David are both so interested in my treadmill so I let them walk on it one day. She was so proud of herself and has started running laps and doing pushups while I work out. 
Littlest Valentine all dressed up for Presley's school party.
She is big enough to ride the Step 2!
Getting their valentines from mommy and daddy- Mater teeth on the end of a ring pop and some candy.
Presley loved Valentine's Day!  Cameron made them pink heart-shaped pancakes!
He continues to be my wild man (who loves shoes)!
This t-shirt was Cameron's when he was a little boy. All our kids have worn it, now it's Anna's turn!
Giving Presley kisses

Mallie and Dallie came in town last weekend. We took them to a new park for a walk and got way more than we bargained! The parts that weren't icy or snowy were solid mud that sucked in your shoes! Needless to say, the hike took us longer than we thought, but it was a really pretty trail and David loved getting all muddy! Not sure if Mallie will ever let us take her on another hike, but we had a good time!
We went bowling with our friend, Sammy, the other day. 
Mallie and Dallie took Presley on a "shopping spree" and bought some early birthday presents and new spring clothes. She LOVES the movie Frozen and got Elsa and Anna's dresses. She is in heaven wearing both her dresses daily and also loves all her new clothes!

Such the model
We ate out several times while my parents were here and Anna was so good! She loves sitting up at the table and eating her big kid foods.
