Where did February go???

I can't believe it's gone, but here is what we did...

 Visited friends
It was Mika's b-day (I actually think this must have been January, oh well)

Cuties under the slide
Mika!  Nate really misses her.

 

Hung out with our BFF's...
Luke and Nate
Jack and Dillon


Jaelyn, Taylor & Jill (Pajama Day at school)

Valentine's Day
Had a little breakfast... chocolate chip heart pancakes!
Taylor made these in Activity Days for all of us with candy and cute notes!


Built some stuff...
little brother trying to help!
Dad watching them as his drinking his favorite... MD.  Love the shirt!
And this amazes me... Jack made shoes out of electrical tape.  Pretty awesome!


View from the top... his teacher told him to bring them in so she could see them.

Watched some plays..
GOLDILOCKS AND THE 3 BEARS... by Jack's 1st grade class

Jack was Daddy Bear


THE 13 COLONIES... by Taylor's 5th grade class

Her awesome teacher... it was dress up like your favorite character that day too. Can you guess who she is??

We also played with...

Went to the Monster Jam with friends

Played a little T-Ball and skateboarded

Jack is taking a skateboarding class though the city... SKATEDOGS
He LOVES it!  Finally... something he likes!
This is one of the instructor helping him jump a ramp.

Nate learned to Skate!

 We went to my older kids school skate party on Thursday and Nate decided he wanted to try on his own.  He did AWESOME!  
Good job Nater!
(blury pics are from my phone while I'm on skates)

 

And Jack won 2nd place in one of the races... FREE drink!  Good job Jack!!

A little shout out to my hubby...

who by the way, is very talented.  He amazes me with the designs he comes up with on paper then transformed them into these awesome off-road vehicles or some other type of custom fabrication you could possible think of.  He loves what he does and loves to share his ideas with our kids.  They LOVE going down to the shop with their dad.  Especially Jack... he goes almost every Saturday with his 2 tool boxes (both boys got new tool boxes for Christmas with REAL tools).  Nate goes once in a while, but I'm sure it will be the same as Jack in a few years.   Below are examples of what Jack and Nate accomplished with their dad.

 
In the past few months, Jack has been working on a new project, side panels for his miniature buggy, which is pictured below... Amazing!
All of my kids inherited Brandon's artistic abilities (mom has none).  They are always drawing or doing something creative at home. Maybe one day my boys will take over our company, Twisted Tin, and Taylor can do the company finances (like mom). 

 
 Love ya babe!
