Valentine's Day 2012

Cupcakes made with Grandma!

Crafts made with love...

Our newest love!

Next year she'll make Valentine's of her own, this year Mom helped turning these:

Into these!

Roses from Dad... one for each of his Valentine's.  It seems we've started a tradition with the rose bush from last year!

At this rate we'll have a rose garden by the time Mikayla starts school!

Love for Papa this Valentine's Day.

What a lucky guy!

My sweet mini Valentine :)

Love her shirt!!

Love for the Zoo

Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium had a day where they gave special Valentine's treats to all the animals!

Another chance to take advantage of our membership!

We were greeted in the parking lot by this guy...

And got to visit many of the animals prior to the big Valentines events!

This big boy was our favorite.  He was hanging out right by the window showing off for us! He stuck around until we finally moved on!

The owls were out for flight training.

Muffin fell asleep halfway through the fun.

But this guy was into all of it!

Getting up close to watch the animals receive their Valentines.

 Yum... (??)

Up from her nap!

We always get a carousel ride in before leaving!

Good morning Bright Eyes!

Just Like Dad

So funny!

Painting the Town

This one enjoys painting so much...

...we took the fun into the tub!

Food coloring and shaving cream...

What a bum!

While we're at it... bath color!

Our little artist!

Five Months

A very smiley five month old!

Who has the bigger belly?!

Excited about her world!

Miss M is turning into a diva...

Five month notables- she loves to grab objects and put them in her mouth. 

She sticks out her tongue at mom and dad, brother and Kona, and well, everyone.

Piggy back rides! Pulling hair!

Learning to sit up!

Loving her toys!

Swim Lessons

James got to do swim lessons last month through Bonney Lake Aquatics. 

He is growing more and more comfortable in the water and had a great time!

Daddy got to swim with him this session while Mikayla and I cheered from the stands.

Practicing back floats...

Big kicks!!!!

Front glides...

And a long time favorite: jumping off the side!

Big smiles in the water!

James liked picking out a toy for each lesson.

Something new- learning to use goggles!

Too cute!

Our little fish!

Loves the water.

Tutu and Papi came to watch a few lessons. 

James loved getting plopped in the water after class!

So proud of our little man!

Bundled and dry... watching the big kids swim laps for swim team. 

Someday maybe he'll be doing the same!

A few fun clips!
