February

How is it that every month seems busy these days. Life is just busier with two kids. In true Utah spring fashion the weather was sporadic. I can't complain though, we went to the park, the zoo, bike rides, and even broke out the flip flops. 

We took Ellie bowling for the first time. It was great until Lucy has a blow out. She is 6 months old, I the blow outs were over. 

We've started doing chores on Saturday morning. Ellie cleans her room, makes her bed, put away the library of books that have accumulated on her bed and anything else she is capable of. 

We put our annual zoo pass to good use. I bought a zoo pass for myself for Christmas and I'm excited to go as much as I want all year. We went and saw more animals than we ever have before. It was a really fun day. Ellie favorite part is always the merry go round.

Jared and I always get the bug to do a project during the winter since we have been deprived of yard work all season long. Jared has been taking photos for three cabinet companies, and comes home with all the photos of beautiful brand new kitchens. We have BIG ideas for this house, knocking down walls, expanding bathrooms, etc. That's not in the budget right now so we started painting the cabinets with chalk paint. We really like it so far. It a nice little face lift that really brightens up our kitchen. 

We wrapped up the month with a Good Dinosaur movie night. Ellie has been anticipating Good Dinosaur coming out on video. We had cousins over and converted the downstairs to a theater. It may have been the best idea we ever had. The girls had pop corn and candy and stayed downstairs the entire time. I think we will forgo the theater and just wait for movies to come out and do the theater thing in the basement. 

Next up Ellie's Birthday!
