February Fun

I have no idea how in the world it could possibly be March 1st already, but I figured since it is I better go ahead & get all of my February pics up on the ole blog before I get too far behind! So here comes a big picture dump! First up are a few pics of when we hiked Ice Box Canyon at Red Rock a few weeks ago in glorious spring temperatures! 

 

 

This next picture below is of Hadley after she got home from a friend's fairy princess birthday party. It's a shame she didn't have any fun at all! ;)  Can't believe we'll be celebrating Hadley's FIFTH birthday this month!!!

The picture of Brady below may look like nothing, but it is monumental! We have suddenly reached the age where Brady can play on the driveway with the girls and actually stay on the driveway..as in he doesn't run out into the road every 2.5 seconds! It's the little things!

Derek's Uncle Billy {who he actually lived with for the first 9 months or so of medical school until we closed on our condo in VA} was wrapping up a seven-week cross-country trip and was headed back to Idaho earlier this month. We were lucky enough to be the very last stop on his trek before he made it home! This was our kiddos' first time meeting Uncle Billy, and as you can tell from the blurry smiley pictures they loved every second of his visit!!

 

After a couple of sick days at home, these two girlies were PUMPED to be headed back to school to pass out Valentines to their classmates!

On this particular night before bed, Brady snuggled into Shelby's lap for her to read him a story. As soon as she finished the book, he walked back to the shelf to pick out another book and came right back to Shelby's lap. He probably did this six or seven times in a row! I was melting with how sweet they looked together!

 

As evidenced in the next few pictures below, Brady's signature "cheese" smile is with his tongue sticking out. Couldn't you just eat him up?!?!

And this last set of pictures are all of the ones I received via text from Derek when he was on "Daddy Duty" during my trip to GA! I loved getting a peek into their days while I was gone--there was definitely no shortage of fun! Derek is such a hands-on Dad that I didn't have to worry for one second while I was away. The only thing Derek was at all concerned about was getting the girls' hair fixed for school, so we did Ponytail 101 before I left in preparation! ;)  The girls always lay their clothes out for school the night before, so they would text me a picture of their planned outfits to ensure it "matched."
