February random

This boy fell asleep in church and had the best marks on his face.

My Dog man obsessed boy!

Our new no soliciting sign. 

Took this boy on a special mom and dad date to see Dog man he loved it.

Pretty sunrise on the way to work/school one morning.

Look closely there tinin icecicles on the tire!

I love sun sets/rises!

Travis and I got Dave and Busters for date nights a couple times a year. But never really use our tickets we took this kids one day and had over 10,000 tickets so they each got some to spend! Here is thier spoils. 

This is Erilyns Ramen collection.

Now she has a mom amd baby ramen.

And made space on her bed for it.

She wanted to earn some extra money so she organized the pantry from me.

The Cheeto all balled up

Came home one day to this stick the city planted! Hopefully it survives!

Korbyn made this silly snow man. It ended up looking like et but I missed getting a picture of the finished product. It melted pretty fast.

Korbyns Jr. Jazz season came to enjoy end. These boys had so much fun tofather and won every game but the one Korbyn missed.

Enjoying the hammock.

A store that I went to alot with my dad growing up got knocked down and I happened to drive past it. Sad to see it gone. Will probably be apartments soon.

It's been a fairly  mellow winter and we have had a great wether the past few weeks.  The girls pulled out thier roller blades.

Korbyn joined the fun!

We took th to the church parking lot to ride one day. Erilyn and korbyn both fell. And got a few scrapes and bruises.

Enslie fell on her scooter the following day and face planted. She fell at the corner of our street and her friend ran to get us. Her nose was bleeding pretty bad and she had a blood puddle on the cement. I took her home to get cleaned up and Travis cleaned up the blood trail to the house and the puddle at the end of the street. This is the after math, her poor face! Luckily it is healing quickly and she has been so brave thru it all. All 3 kids were bruised up for a few days but are still loving the warmer weather and thier scooters and roller blades.

 

Valentines 2025

A few days before valentines Enslie helped pick out a chocolate heart for everyone. The kids found them in the groceries so we gave them to the kids early.

Enslie asked for heart hair on valentines.

That night we satyed home and had a steak dinner as a family. The following tues Travis and i went on a date to see captain america and had zupas after.

A few days after we hosted a family dinner at our house and the cousins did a valentines exchange.

 

Kids well checks.

 We will start with Erilyn she is 65.9 inches tall ( 90%l and 103 lbs. (50%) She got a perfect bill of health doctor says she is in the early stages of puberty and will start her period in about a year. She also ended up getting an x-ray on her finger she broke a couple years ago because it has developed a wierd clicking sound. The x-ray showed no abnormalities and you couldn't even see where she broke it. (Makes me wonder if I really broke my wrist a few months ago)

Enslie is 62 inches tall (95%) and 85 lbs (65%) we talked about her anxiety and how she is improving also the coping strategies she has learned. Doc thinks she is stable at this time at to continue what we have been doing. But we discussed the possibility of starting medicine in the future. She is also in the early stages of puberty and doc says she is guessing a year and half for her till she starts her period.

 Korbyn is 59.4 inches tall (100%) and 96 lbs (100%) Enslie was 56.1 inches tall at his age and erilyn was 55.3 inches tall and Enslie was 67.6 lbs and Erilyn was 60lbs. Korbyn is a huge and creating his own curves on the charts. Doc isn't concerned about any thing though. He has a healthy bmi and is mostly muscle. We talked about his love for sports and starting baseball in the spring. She is slightly concerned that he may also have scoliosis so we will be doing x-rays for that soon. He got one shot and a finger poke. And was so brave.

The rest of the time the temperature was in the single digits! It Was so cold our door kept on freezing shut! We stayed at the hotel and swam and played in the rec room and gym we didn't even know they had before this trip.
