February Family Moments 2009

Alec the "Baker". One day at school they made little Baker hats and a loaf of bread. He was so cute and so proud of his bread. Now last year Marcus left one little tiny crumb for Carson, but Alec was nice enough to leave all of us a slice and then he ate the rest. Alec, my little Baker you did a great job making your bread. I loved today picking you up from school seeing that smile from ear to ear was the best!You can't see very well, but Olivia was very determined to put her coat on all by herself after her dad's basketball game. The hood is a the bottom, but she couldn't have been more proud! I also loved this picture because look what a good Daddy Carson is carrying out Olivia's baby in her carseat!

February 1 was the Superbowl. What a fun night we had. Half of the night Marcus spent it over with Nana, Papa, and Molly. The last five minutes our house was a very loud house cheering for the Arizona Cardinals. The best part I think was making smores after the game was over. Olivia was not to sure about the marshmellows starting on fire, but other then that we had a wonderful time enjoying a very yummy treat!

One night we went to Dinner at Wingers. It is so nice that you guys go to dinner and actually eat, it is starting to get really fun to take you out to dinner. After we ate we had to go do some shopping at Wlamart, which could always be an adventure with hearing I want this over and over! Of course we went back to look at toys and Olivia was loving all the babies. When we weren't looking she was throwing all the babies in the cart. Alec found a bike that he is pretty sure that if he got it he would love riding a bike, of course it had spider man on it, but we are thinking what ever would work would be great! Marcus was enjoying teasing Olivia throughout the store, but Olivia was very good at sticking up for herself and telling Martus that he is wude! During the day Alec was showing me how he wants Batman wings for his birthday, well right there on the clearence isle was the batman wings that he wanted so bad. I think that was the hardest thing fo him to understand of why we couldn't buy it right then. Olivia kept telling him ,"bub, that's to much!"

One day was our big shopping day. Now we haven't had one of these for quite awhile, so I was quite nervous to see what the day would bring. Now you kids of mine that I love dearly were not perfect by all means, but we lived through it quite well and you guys even said it was "fun" at the end of the night. I only had to threaten 1 time that if it happened again I would leave you at that isle and 1 time that I might have to leave you on the side of the road! I realized though what good kids I have and how fast you guys are all growing up. Olivia thinks she needs to walk through all the stores, which overall she does pretty good. Marcus thinks that he needs to push the cart and for most of the time it is a great help. And Alec wishes he could be big enough to push the cart, but he is a great helper and it doesn't get any better then walking through the store being able to hold his hand. I am so proud of my kids! Days like to today, even though they are long and tiring, makes me realize why I love being a mom so much. Thanks guys for sticking today out. When asking Marcus what it meant to go shopping all day means he said, "a full fridge and pantry!" When Alec talked to his dad about it he said, "we went to lots and lots of stores"!

{once again I enjoyed asking the kids these questions, it is fun to see what answers stay the same and what answers change}
