so.......January and most of February have disappeared! Here's what we were up to:
Caroline pulled out her mixer the Snell's got her for her birthday and she made some little cakes and brownies
we went to our friends the Dettmer's house for the college football championship and we brought dessert. A football cake....
complete with a little Oregon love inside (we had to cheer for the west coast representative....and these colors were way easier to do then Scarlett and Gray!)
every Sunday after mass we stop for doughnuts.....the kids favorite!
Caroline is a Daisy scout this year.....which means we've been peddling girl scout cookies! She is so cute with her little speech and she is learning lots about money management and sales skills! Daddy has been the really cookie queen though.....he's sold over 300 boxes at school!
Superbowl weekend our cousins arrived from Seattle to enjoy all the football fun! The first night they arrived we had the whole crew over for dinner.
Saturday, While the big kids (and Coop) went to the NFL experience downtown I took the girls to a birthday party for one of Caroline's friends.
the three blondes
that night we headed to Laura's house for dinner and a little Seahawk nail painting!
Superbowl Sunday we woke up and took family pictures and then stopped for festive Seahawk and Patriot doughnuts
they were good.....but super messy!

we raised the Seahawk flag
and we celebrated Uncle Michael turning 50 with an apple pie and a little afternoon lunch party!
Horray for 50!
then it was time to make cookies before the big game started

Caroline and Clara are ready for the big game
Coop and Car too!
Patrick was out of town this weekend so the kids and I celebrated Cooper turning 2 on Saturday with a birthday song and doughnuts for breakfast (wow....we've had a lot of doughnuts this month :)
someone was a little upset about not getting the first doughnut :)
Happy birthday sweet boy!
we spent the day doing what he loves.......he played with his sisters.....he loves doing anything they do.....even if it means princess dresses
he got to wear his favorite boots.....he calls them his "boots cardinal"
I took them to Target to buy some new sand toys.....then took them to the park and let them use the water fountain as much as they liked to wet the sand and make sand castles......aka cover themselves in mud!
After showering up Caroline was ready for the Father Daughter Dance at her school. Thankfully Caroline's good buddy Lily's dad, Mike, stepped up to take her since Patrick was still out of town on his hunting trip (his brother Michael's 50th birthday trip). *We didn't know about the dance when the trip was planned......we know for next year!
Coop always wants in on the fun
The girls had THE BEST TIME! It was a sweet night of dinner, carriage rides, a chocolate fountain, goodie bags, and LOTS of dancing! She said it was the best night of her life:)
Mr Mike with his two dates!
Next up.....Cooper's 2nd birthday party!
