Haircut Time!

 Addie hates to wear a ponytail.  However, warm weather will be coming soon (at least we hope!), and I told Addie she would either have to start wearing a ponytail or get her hair cut short.  She chose to get the haircut.  In the past, I have cut her hair.  But, I decided it was time to have someone else do it-she's got some thick hair, and I am in no way qualified to be cutting it!  So, I took her to the local community college's cosmetology school for her haircut.  She was so excited!  Here she is waiting to be called back.
 Levi can't be left out, so he wanted his before picture taken as well
 Can you tell she is excited?  Here she is in the "big chair"
 It was in now way a quick haircut, but Addie was so patient and seemed to love every minute of it.
 The final product!
 I asked Addie how she liked getting her haircut at a store instead of at home.  She said "I think going to a store to get my haircut is the better option.  I want to do that next time my hair is long."
 Again, can't leave Levi out!

Noah's Birthday Party

Our neighbor and friend, Noah, just turned 2!  He has his birthday party at "The Little Gym" and we got to go play!  Addie and Levi had a great time celebrating Noah's birthday with some gymnastics!

 Addie was nervous to try the balance beam on her own at first, but by the end was doing it no problem and even jumping off on her own!

Rest of February

I did not take many pictures the rest of the month of February, so here's what I've got.

Dottie and Pops came for a weekend, and I somehow don't have more pictures than this:
 A loving moment...they come and go
 One downside to February is that the stomach bug hit our house twice.  One of those times it lasted for 3 days.  That's a very long time for the stomach bug.  The kids were so pitiful.  This was one of the mornings they were sick (Levi is asleep behind Addie).
 After dinner, Addie asked me to snuggle on the couch with her.  She didn't want to talk though (which is very unlike her), so I was talking to Bob while I snuggled with Addie.  Within a few minutes, she was asleep.
 Some nights the kids get to play on the Kindle and Ipad before bed.  What I love about this picture is that it shows Addie's mommy multitasking skills.  She is a mom in training...although she doesn't really need training!
Addie was learning about the letter "s" and we made some edible snowmen to go with the theme.

Valentine's Day

While I realize Valentine's day was over a month ago, I am going to attempt to play catch up. 

We woke up to some surprises from Daddy!
 And Levi got a card from Nana
 Addie somehow knew Daddy got the pink heart donut for her.
 Addie's card!
This boy loves donuts!
 We spent the morning with friends.  Here are the boys.
 The whole group.
