February Happenings

Besides all the birthdays this month, we also...

got to spend time with the girls I use to babysit. I started watching them when Nicolletta was 3, and Marcella was 7 months. Nic is now almost 16, and Mar is 13. They are awesome girls, and the kids love spending time with them. McKenna and I got to go see Nic play basketball too. It was so nice to see them.

Nate was star of the week this month. His class got to learn all about him and he got to bring show N tell on one of the days. He also had his Valentine's Party and came home with lots of nice Valentines and treats from his classmates.

Nate got to go sing Oh Canada at the Hurricanes game with his choir. Ryan, Ty, and I got tickets as well and we all watched the game together. The boys had fun, but especially loved getting the mini donuts and shaved ice.

This is the best shot we could get of him from our seats.

Hayley turned 6 months, which warrants a post all of her own, but I'm not quite prepared for that so I'll save it for next month. I'm hoping Devon will take some shots of her before she's mobile. She is just getting so big!

I taught McKenna's class in Primary for two weeks in a row. It was fun, and she has some really sweet kids in her class. I got a new calling...but haven't officially been called yet, so I'll fill you in when I can. I'm really excited about it!

For the first time since Hayley joined our family I had all the kids by myself over night. Ryan was in Calgary for work. Of course it was one of the worst nights too. McKenna usually falls asleep in our bed and then we move her back to her's when we go to bed. Since Ryan was gone, I just left her in bed with me. Well, at 3:00am she was tossing and turning and making tons of noise. Finally at 4:00am, I put her on our floor hoping that would help me get back to sleep. I drifted off, just to have Hayley wake up around 5:00am. I tried plugging her a couple of times, but no such a luck. I had to get up and feed her. McKenna woke up crying just as I was getting up with Hayley, so I moved her back into my bed and went down to feed Hayley. McKenna started crying again, so I went up to see if she wanted to sleep on the couch while I fed beanie. She said her leg was hurting and didn't want to come downstairs. I told her I had to feed Hayley and I'd be back up soon. She cried through most of the feeding. Finally by the end she had stopped and fell back asleep. Hayley went right back to sleep, and I crawled back into bed around 6:00am. Drifted off again, and then Ty was waking me up  45 minutes later, and that was that. Time to start the day. I'm so glad this doesn't happen very often. I'm like the most crabby person when I don't get a good night's sleep.

The Davis's came over for a playdate, we got to babysit our Olsen cousin's, Britt and the girls came and spent an afternoon with us, and Nate had a whole week off school so we spent lots of time together playing. I'm so glad my kids play so well together.
