Finishing February

These next few pics crack me up.  They were taken on Michael's cell phone.  The boys wanted to buy air soft guns, and I said they could with their own money.  They were very excited about their impending purchase, and we all headed to Academy on a Friday night.  This was the bribery to bring happiness for THESE PICTURES (see Alyssa is still wearing her outfit). The funny part is that Matthew carried in his piggy bank to the store.

And watching him count it out at the counter nearly had me peeing my pants.  It was so stinkin adorable;)

The cashier was so patient and cracked a few smiles himself.  The lady behind us also seemed to be entertained by it all.

  I had to include a lot because it just brings me joy to watch my boys grow up like this.

You saw in a previous post my friend Stacey and I went to the JB movie.  Well, a week later we took our girls (plus a friend).  Alyssa enjoyed it, and I had to counsel her not to be a crazy little girl like the ones in the movie.  She loves his music like me...so does Cali.  Cali watches the 'Baby' video on my itouch over and over. 

I love this mothering moment while reading scriptures.

a little love note that alyssa got from school from Ryan.
