February 2021


February had a bit of a crazy start!  One morning I was driving Middle School carpool and I asked Porter to get dressed and clean his room while I was gone. As I was driving back from dropping the kids off, I got a panicked phone call from Lila saying that there was smoke coming from the basement and that the fire alarm was going off.  I told her to go wake up Shaun and she goes
"Oh, right!!" 
She had completely forgotten that he was home.  I drove like a crazy person back home and ran in to see Shaun coming up the stairs holding the remains of Porter's smoldering underpants.  He said he didn't need his underwear and wondered if he could throw it up in the light.  After a couple really great throws he wondered if he could get some socks up there, too.  Then the fire alarm went off and Lila yelled at him to come outside.  Crazy kid!
Mr. Potato Head
Isaak is officially a TEENAGER!  Best teenager I know!  He's helpful, fun, smart, amazing, and all around fantastic.
Tios for dinner!
Valentine's Day hair
Valentine's Day box!
Snowy day trip up to the cabin!  Shaun bought an Argo for us to travel in the snow up to the cabin in. It was fun, but got stuck a lot!  Shaun decided to sell it right after this trip, but we had a great time sledding and enjoying the winter wonderland!
But first, no trip to the cabin is complete without a trip to get pizza!

Valentine's day chocolate covered strawberries!
Family selfie before Shaun and I took a little trip to Cancun! Ric and Jo stayed with them for a few days, then they went to the Westover's, then the rest of the time with Alisa's family!

Sunday dinners are always fun with Uncle Adam!
Porter LOVES to cook!  He's always looking at new recipes and he picked this one for us to try!
Porter and Bear
Porter buckled down and learned how to ride his bike!  He mastered it in a couple days, then we couldn't get him off of it!
