him & HER & them: February

^^ Evening walks to the soccer field are just as much Judah approved as they are Uriah and Ezra approved! ^^

^^ To celebrate Uriah's birthday, he had his first sleepover with his friend Paxton. Gosh, they were so cute! They made their own pizzas, played Star Wars, read books and watched Ice Age. Ezra was feeling a little left out of all the fun (they weren't leaving her out intentionally but I also wanted them to have their "boy time") so daddy swooped in and painted her nails. It was a win, win evening for everyone! ^^

^^ Tummy time! ^^

^^ A Saturday at Foothills Park hiking, picnic-ing and hide-and-go-seek on the island! Soaking up all our time with Stephen during his last weekend off before starting wards ^^

^^ Happy, happy baby! Always! Pay no mind that he was supposed to be napping... ^^

^^ A hike through the Redwoods while Nana and Papa were around for a few days! That little ballerina insisted on wearing her tutu on our hike... Just as much as she insisted on finding, holding and kissing banana slugs... She's the best! ^^

^^ We took advantage of our temporary live-in babysitters and went on a geocaching date around campus! We packed a bottle of wine and some brownies and a blanket and snuggled up on a bench after walking all over campus geocaching in the dark. It was out of our norm and such a great night! ^^

^^ Go Cougs! ^^

^^ A few weeks in to this "no nap" thing and I find him like this on the couch after I get out of the shower. I love watching my babies sleep! ^^

^^ Momma's little helpers! One helping me make dinner, one feeding the other! ^^

^^ I have THREE babies! And they are the BEST! ^^

^^ Morning hike on Stephen's call day - time flies when you're having fun as Uriah has learned to say! ^^

^^ Saturday at the beach with friends! ...in February! So lucky to live in such a beautiful place with friends who, when you say "hey! wanna go to the beach?!" say, "yes!" ^^

^^ We'll call this a homeschool hike ;) ^^

^^ This girl is horse obsessed! I genuinely think she's expecting to get one for her birthday... oops! ^^

^^ Uriah made Ezra two Valentine's Day cards and after he watched daddy bring home flowers for momma he said to me, "I didn't know I was supposed to get Ezra flowers so can I cut one of yours from the porch to give to her?" I couldn't say no to that! He is so sweet to her! ^^

^^ We had Bible study on Valentine's Day and Uriah thought "it would be so nice and surprising" to bring all the momma's a flower. I mean, come on...! We got ready early so we could have time to make a stop for some fresh Gerber Daisies and these two walked in handing them out melting allll the hearts! ^^

^^ Another hike and nature study but this time, with dad! We all agreed it was better with him ;) ^^

^^ Oh just Judah being his usual happiest self. I snapped that bottom one as he was waking up. ...Waking up! I kid you not, he wakes up smiling after not eating for 10 hours. He's a saint ^^

^^ "Let's take a picture for dad!" ^^

^^ Handsome boy in his "big boy" bed that he wont' sleep in ;) ^^

^^ Ezra drew her first person! A self portrait no less :) She was feeling very proud, as was I! ^^

^^ We decided to skip naps and head to the top of Hoover Tower on one of Stephen's days off. The kids loved it and we can officially check it off our Palo Alto to-do list! ^^
