February

This last month we've had a Birthday party for Ian, a family trip to Sequim and Neah Bay, and a little snow! The Birthday part was a blast. So many people showed up and Ian had so much fun. I loved it when the kids all played games, it was hilarious to watch them all trying to scoop cotton balls blindfolded. Ian got WAY too many toys, but hey, out with the old in with the new. He also got his first quad, but totally didn't want to ride it... not the reaction we thought our wild child would have at all. Victor started it up and he complained/cried it was too loud and wanted to go back inside and play. This is what happens after no nap and tons of stimulation and sugar and just opened like 20 gifts. All in all, it was a super great party with lots of friends. Not sure we'll ever have such a huge turn out like that again :)

The trip to Game Farm Park was long, but well worth it! Ian watched a movie on the way there and had a blast once we got there. He fed the llamas, zebra, deer and bears. He was a little too frightened of the ox and elk. (don't blame him, they were huge!) I had an ox burp in my face and an elk scare me to death when I forgot my window was down! We always have a good time when we go there. Last time we went I was 7 months pregnant with Ian! Kayleigh was a good girl and sat in her seat content as usual. Then we headed from there to Cape Flattery in Neah Bay. Victor hadn't been there since he was a kid and I had never been. It was amazing! The drive up alone was gorgeous. It was such a clear day you could see Canada. We chose a perfect day to go(well, it could have been a little warmer). Kayleigh went in the moby wrap for the little hike down to the viewpoints and Ian went in the backpack with Victor. Ian got a kick out of watching the waves crash on the rocks. It was a long drive home, but I'm happy we did it and that the kids were great for the car ride.

We got a few inches of snow a couple days ago and didn't miss the opportunity to have a little fun playing in it! Ian finally rode his quad for the first time with Victor too. It hasn't snowed since the week Kayleigh was born, so we had fun playing in it. Kayleigh wasn't too sure what to think about the snowflakes falling in her face, she seemed a little bothered by them. Ian had fun throwing snowballs at Mom as usual and making some snow angels. I think this will be the last snow we'll get this winter, but who knows.

Here's a BUNCH of pictures from February!
