February Fun

Axel and I made our family in Legos. I did Jeff and me, and Axel did himself. Apparently he has a beard and is Han Solo.

Jumping into the deep end in swimming lessons!

The boys have taken over my craft table.

We went to a Westchester Knicks game. They handed out bopper/clapper things to all the kids. Fun idea, but it made for lots of people getting bopped in the head. (Not by Axel. We didn't have anyone sitting in front of us)

It was also local mascot day, and this bird made it all they way up to us!

We got one pretty big snow storm. We tried to make a fort, but it wouldn't pile very well.

For Valentine's Day, we had lunch with Daddy at Cheesecake Factory. We gave him his presents there. Chocolates, clothes, and awesome drawings.

Axel with his Valentine's chocolate.

Riding the rocket at the Alamo Draft House.

Nice day scooter ride.

He learned to swing by himself!

We have had a few nice days, so he's been able to work a bit on scootering. Still trying to work on braking in time.

January Happenings

Axel started swimming lessons. Could he be any cuter?!?!

We went to a friends' wedding reception at the Manhattan Temple (some of the building is a Stake Center). It was snowing like crazy that day, but our new Nissan handled it perfectly! We were able dance the night away! And then dig our car out of its parking spot...

Nothing like Japanese food for dinner. Axel is soooo good at using chopsticks!

I like to imagine that he is a cheerleader, jumping and holding pom poms.

Stick 'em up lady!

Cousin Visit, New York Style!

We are so happy that Axel's cousins were able to come out to New York! It was squishy with 8 people in the house, but we survived!

Handsome Peter

No shortage of attention for this kiddo

Sharing a ride on the car

Matching jammies! And that height difference kills me! The boys are only a month apart!

Addie held semi-still enough for me to french braid her hair. 

Hanging out with the lemurs at the zoo

Ev's face, haha!

Axel and Addie walked through the gorilla enclosure holding hands. Cuties!

"Help, I can't move my arms! But I'm still happy!"

A treat to watch 2 lions out at once today. They were wrestling.

Roaring like lions.

Riding the tortoise

It started snowing while we were there!

We had Pepe's pizza for dinner. So good!

Sitting in a highchair like a big boy

First 4 cousin bath

Peter LOVED this, but he barfed all over Jeff right after I stopped filming. I can still smell it. *shudder*

I can't pick just one group picture, so here are a whole ton of them.

Story time with Jeff, never a dull moment

Playing Sorry

Four Jedi

We went down into the city one day. We walked around Battery Park, Trinity Church, Wall Street, and the World Trade Center Memorial. Here is a link to Alicia's blog. She took a lot more pictures than I did. http://itsamarrvelouslife.blogspot.com/2017/03/new-york.html

Lunch at Schnippers. Their chicken is soooo yummy!

The kids were tired after lunch, so Jeff and I took them back home (with a stop for gelato at our neighborhood Italian bakery). Dallin, Alicia, and Peter went to the Met and had a yummy dinner in the City before coming back. They didn't get too lost, and made it on the right train back. Good job guys!

No shortage of awesome dance moves

Its more fun to play in a fort.

Such a cute chunky dude

We had such a fun time! I am so very glad that they were able to come out to our neck of the woods. Love you guys!
