February, 2014: Part 1

Above: We opened the month by having a Minion Birthday Party to celebrate Grant's, Peter's, and Jonathan's birthdays.

Above: Sadly, I didn't get very many good pictures at all. I was kind of tired that day. It's too bad too because the boys were so happy and Nammy had decorated the house so cute.

Above: We made minion cupcakes for the boys...which they simply dismantled and kind of ate.

Above: Well, I found out on Peter's birthday that I was pregnant. This picture is from the second pregnancy test I took. We told your family when I was about 7 weeks along. Two weeks later, at our first pre-natal appointment (on February 25th), we found out that we had lost the baby. It was one of the most heartbreaking things I have ever experienced. I will write a blog post about that experience specifically a little later. I am just putting this information in here for the sake of family history and timeline.

Above: Jeremiah had to be out of town for a business trip over Valentine's Day. Between Nammy and I, however, I think we did a pretty good job of making Valentine's a fun one for the boys. :)

Above: I got each of the boys a Skylanders action figure.

Above: Nammy got the boys some Duplo Legos.

Above: As you can see from Johnny licking his lips, they also got plenty of candy.

Above: I love this happy guy.

Above: I love this sweet dramatic guy!

Above: I gave them some Valentines that had some window clings in them.

Above: The boys had a fun time decorating our windows on Valentine's Day before Peter went off to school.

Above: Pretty good work, eh?

Above: I went (and took Johnny) to help out at Peter's preschool with their Valentine's Day party. That is Jonas (Peter's best bud) hamming it up in the middle of the picture. Peter is in the background decorating his cookie.

Above: Johnny had a fun time making a Valentine's doorknob decoration.

Above: Peter just wanted to eat his candy hearts the whole time.

Above: On President's Day, Mimi and Papa took all the cousins to the new children's museum at Thanksgiving Point. The cousins had the museum all to themselves...and they had a blast. This museum is seriously cool.

Above: That would be Peter waaaaaay up high climbing on the ropes course.

Above: In the little kid city, there is a theater. Peter and Ty put on a play for me, Johnny, and Mimi while we were there.

Above: Bravo!

Above: Encore!

Above: Johnny had a great time running around with me, Mimi, and Papa.

Above: While Peter was off playing with the cousins, Johnny and I visited the pet clinic and took some animal x-rays.

Above: Mr. Ferret, there is no fracture.

Above: Kitty, your bones look healthy!

Above: Good times with our cousins at the new museum!

Above: Experiencing tornado force winds in the wind tunnel!

Above: Johnny is getting so big! Look at him chow down on this burger!

Above: My favorite royalty! I sure love this Pete of mine.

Next up...Johnny's birthday!
