February 2015

Okay, sadly I don't have much to report on February.  It was a month full of normal days doing normal things, which was the best part of February.  We took the boys on a lot of adventure walks, had some family parties and celebrated Valentine's Day.

Adventure Walks

We are lucky to live by so many horse trails.  They lead from our community to my parents community and there are so many different routes to choose from.  It's become one of our favorite things to let the boys run around in the horse trails, finding sticks and rocks.  We take our time and by the end of the walk, the morning is gone and the boys are worn out.  We also feed two horses along our way, Harley and Brandi.  The boys don't always like to feed them because they drool...the horses that is.  But you know me, I can't help myself, horse drool or not.  On one of our walks, Scott found a rope swing.  It is a little worn out so Scott is going to fix it up so the neighborhood kids can use it again.  I'll post pics once that is done.

Family Parties
Stan, Monika, Chloe, Brett, Connor, Isabelle, and Ian came for a visit in February.  It was great to finally meet Brett and to celebrate the February birthdays.  We had parties planned all weekend except the boys got sick and we had to miss out on some of them.  Alas, life with kids.  But we had a great time seeing the family, and as always, we wish they lived here!

You Rock!

Valentine's Day
We didn't too much to celebrate Valentine's Day this year because we had a family party planned for that night.  We got the boys Star Wars boxes of chocolates and Valentine's crafts were made.  Other than that, it was kind of like a normal day.  But Scott and I have been so lucky lately because Tess babysits for us almost every Saturday night.  So we have been able to put date nights back on the weekly schedule.  It has been so nice! 

Celebrated Valentine's morning by getting donuts and yes, going for a walk on the horse trail.

Mi Ani taught me how to make french macaroons which were a delicious Valentine treat!

So that's it.  Just like February, this post is short and sweet.
