Beaver Weekend

 There were TWO Beaver Women's Basketball games this weekend actually at times when Heidi is normally awake so we went to both!  Friday night the Booth family joined us.  The kids loved dancing around - the game was a little intense and I was a little focused so I'm glad they entertained themselves!

 You can tell we were distracted on Friday night.  Heidi got a hold of the kettle corn bag - that is her eating straight out of it!

 Sunday afternoon we found the DeRoss family there!  Allison was so excited to see her friends.  And Benny, too, of course!  This game was much more comfortable and therefore relaxing.  And one of the best parts of the weekend - I saw two old college friends, Tab and Rachel - although in neither case did we bother to get a picture!  UGH!

It was also a gorgeous sunny weekend - the girls were literally dancing as we left the game on Sunday!

Valentine's Family Night

 Heidi's pre-school had a Valentine's themed family night.  The girls had fun decorating cookies, bags and playing games.  There was also a photo-booth, hopefully we'll have a family picture of that soon!

Valentine's Day - Family Day

 Allison calls Saturdays 'Family Days' and since today was a Saturday and Valentine's Day we decided we needed to make the most of it.  We took both girls up to Salem to ride the carousel.  Allison loves trying to find the biggest horse she can.  Heidi, well, she sits cautiously on Mark's lap on one of the wagons just like Allison did at that age.  

 After several rides we took the girls outside to ride bikes and play on the playground.  It was so nice to be outside and enjoy the sunshine breaking through the fog. The girls played for quite awhile!

 After lunch out, stopping in to see Nana & Papa and a little shopping we headed home for dinner.  Heidi 'helped' Mark make a fruit salad for dinner.  She was very proud of her 'help,' too.

Lego Sunday

 Mark spent a good chunk of his Sunday working on 'my' Lego set (I mentioned it would be fun to set up a Lego village at Christmas time so I got my first set this year for Christmas - a bike shop!).  This meant the girls had to play with Legos, too.  Allison played right along side....Heidi got in everyone's way, of course!

Heidi wanted a picture of herself - and climbed into my lap (she doesn't seem to realize I can't really take pictures of her in my lap with my big camera, so mark took one from across the table, good luck getting her to smile! :)).

Heidi's First Tea

 The girls and I went up to Mel's on Friday after work/school for an afternoon tea.  I realized I think it was Heidi's first real 'tea.'  And even then I use the word loosely, she drank a ton of milk!  She loved asking Allison to pour her more out of the little pitcher on the table.  Mel picked up some extra special heart cookies for us, too from New Morning Bakery, they were delicious - Thanks Mel!

 And while I'm on the subject of Heidi I'm going to include these two snapshots - we were all playing in the living room this evening when Heidi disappeared.  Not long after we heard the pantry door open and then the crinkling of plastic.  She knows how to get to her fruit snacks, that is for sure!

Nail Party

 Allison convinced Mark to giver her a mani-pedi on Friday night rather than read stories.  She was thrilled to say the least!  Mark was not so thrilled that I documented the event! :)
