February in a nutshell.

February was pretty uneventful for us, partly because we all took turns being sick for about a week at a time.  We don't have a whole lot to report on, so I'm going to sum up February in one post.

February 6, 2016 - Baby Shower
My good friend, April, threw a baby shower for me.  She's awesome.  I love her.  Thanks so much, April!  And thank you to everyone who came!  I wish I had taken more pictures.
(This is probably the only belly-shot you'll get of me this pregnancy.  I feel huge.  Good thing we're getting close to being done at this point!)

She did a mustache theme, and the decorations were so cute!

Darwin and I made "blueberry stuff".  I couldn't resist :)  It was delish!

February 14, 2016 - Valentine's Day!
Our girls woke up Valentine's Day morning to little Valentine from me and Daddy.  We gave them some yummy lollipops and gave them each a cute little bear.  On their cards we wrote: "You'd make us 'BEAR'y happy if you'd be our Valentine!"  We sincerely love our little sweethearts!

Daddy made little heart pancakes for breakfast.  Scrumptious!

After church we made and decorated cupcakes which we shared with some of our friends and family who live close by.  The girls always love to do fun things like this for other people.

And the girls did the decorating.

I love how focused they get when they're concentrating on something :)

So proud of her cupcake!

Enjoying Warm Weather
We've had several days of warmer weather already and we're taking full advantage of it and having a yard to play in.
Daddy took the opportunity to clean out the Pilot and rearrange the car seats in preparation for the new baby.

Savannah decided it was a good time to get started on the garden ;)

They love watching the airplanes that fly over the house every few minutes.

The girls are loving being able to ride their bikes up and down the long driveway.

This was Rori's first time riding the new bike outside that we gave her for her birthday.  She insisted on having the training wheels put on, but hopefully she'll gain confidence and let us take them off soon.

Savy does great with the Strider bike.  She makes me a little nervous sometimes!

Our Missionaries
We have two new missionaries in our family!  Grandma and Grandpa took off on their mission to Bluff Fort.  It's been hard on the girls to have them gone, but we're so happy for them and their new adventure!
The girls with Grandma and Grandpa the day they left on their journey.

The girls and I waved and watched from the window as they pulled away.

We miss them already, but we're also looking forward to going to visit sometime this summer :)

Prepping for Baby
It's been fun for us, and the girls, to work on preparing for our new baby.  It's been especially fun to be preparing for a boy this time around.  We can't wait to meet our new little guy!
The girls helped Daddy set up the crib.

He's so cute.  Love this guy!

And they "helped" set up the new baby swing once it was delivered.

Mostly they just fought over the box and popping the packing bubble bags.  Silly kids.

Reading the instructions to make sure it got set up the right way.

Randoms of Savannah
Savy is really into wearing hats and dressing herself lately. She is such a crack up sometimes!

Love it!

And we find her sleeping in funny positions a lot too.  Poor, sleepy kid!

And that's February in a nutshell!

So fun. I'd have to say, that last picture is my favorite!
