I made it!

In Primary, we have decided to teach sharing time for the entire month to keep the theme consistent for the month. February was my turn and I made it through! I think I had some good teaching moments, some great teaching moments, and some not so good teaching moments. But I am closer to knowing most of the kids names, and that is a huge accomplishment for me. I'll take it.

Dad said you could do what?

We went to the Hermosa Vista Elementary School carnival fund raiser last night and had a really good time.  Katelyn was a monster on the rock wall, Megan owned the bounce house, and Adam was a champ in the stroller.  Amy and her family came along to enjoy the carnival with us.

I went there straight from work and met up with the group to walk around with the kids and dish out the tickets. At one point, I had to go meet Kaley in the parking lot (she wanted to borrow Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs), so I had the girls come along.  Near the parking lot was the station where they were hairspray painting kids hair.  Katelyn asked if she could do it, and then Megan did too.  I was happy to go through the tickets and move on to the next thing, and figured it wouldn't hurt, so I said yes.  Katelyn picked orange, because they didn't have brown.  :)  Yep, she wanted her wacky hair color to be brown!  Megan went with blue because they were out of purple.  The good news is that it is washing out good and will be out for church tomorrow.  I suppose the bad news is the look that I got from Cassi when she saw what I let them do.  :)  I think Amy was siding with Cassi.  I told Katelyn it's a once-a-year deal, so she doesn't get any ideas.

After the carnival, we all went back to our house for movie night and then Amy's crew went home and we got the kids in bed.  Here's how they looked last night going to bed (Megan is faking asleep much better than Katelyn).  You can barely see the blue streak in Megan's hair.  By the end of the night, that's how she preferred it. :)

My baby turned ONE!

I know I say this every time I reach an age milestone, but I REALLY can't believe Adam is ONE! He is such a good baby. He started walking at 11 months, and is a pretty accomplished walker now. That is early for my kids. He still looks too small to be walking. Adam's favorite toy is a ball. I think I'll just claim that this is his first word. I made him an ice cream cake shaped like a basketball. We invited family over for dinner. Then when Chris got home from work, we opened presents and had cake and ice cream. Of course, Adam loved his first introduction to cake. We just love having Adam in our family!
