A Nice Warm Spring-ish Day

This whole week has been minimum days at the elementary school, which means Gwen has been around for lunch and home before Aubrie on preschool days. On Wednesday, while both girls were at school, Oliver and I went to get him a haircut, run some errands, and spend a little time out in the beautiful weather. Then we picked Gwen up, got some burgers and had a little picnic on the benches at Aubrie's school while we waited for her to be done. It was a pretty fun day. And I think Oliver looks really sharp with his new haircut. He looks older and blonder every time he gets one! We just love this boy! (And these girls!)

We even got to see the kids at the preschool while they were playing on the playground. Lots of them ran over to the fence to talk to us, but Aubrie was too busy swinging (she was being pushed by her friend Jackson with the sunglasses on) to come over. She recently learned how to pump and swing herself, so I was surprised to see her being pushed. But it was cute too.

Us Lately

We had a fun day trip to Bakersfield this weekend. I had every intention of getting out the camera and taking some pictures, but it didn't happen. Brian did get these on his phone when he took the kids to the park in the morning. I thought they were so cute. What a good big sister.

Gwen was playing hairstylist on Aubrie the other day. This was the cute result.

And a bunch of pictures of Oliver because I just can't get over the cute stage he is in. Such a fun, sweet, cutie!

He loves legos these days.

Fieldtrip to Savemart

Today we went with the preschool on a field trip to the grocery store. It was as exciting as it sounds, but the kids still enjoyed it. Oliver was great in the stroller the whole time and Aubrie behaved well too. They got to try red and green grapes (that was new. an addition from when we went with Gwen's class) and the store sent cookies back to the school with the teachers. I was sad they didn't open them at the store so Oliver and I could eat one too! Oh well.

Sibling Love

After church and lunch on Sunday, we were following Oliver out of the kitchen to put him down for a nap. This is where we found him. He'd climbed up next to his sisters on the couch and tried to join their game of Mario Party 8. Cute.

Visitors

A couple of weekends ago, Valerie came to visit us. It was fun to have her here. We watched some BBC shows and made some fun food together. The kids loved that she would play with them and they even took a bunch of these pictures together for an unknown purpose. We all miss you Valerie! Love ya!

Our Sunday feast

We made Olive Garden soup and fettuccine alfredo, Pizza Factory breadsticks

(though they are ugly, they tasted great), a yummy red sauce, and a salad chalk full of raw veggies. Oh, and Italian sodas. Fun times.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Making cookies with Grandma when she was here last weekend.

My Valentine and me

Dinner - heart shaped pancakes and heart shaped eggs in a basket. Yum.
