Kathryn!

We went and saw Raymont's basketball game last night and he scored 6 pts! I didn't get any action shots of him though. We saw Kathryn there routing on her big brother and Madeleine was happy to see her! She gave her a big kiss!

Seattle Children's Museum!

We joined Shannon & Taylor for a fun morning at the Seattle Children's Museum! It was so nice to get out of the house after a few days of being cooped up inside because of the snow. Madeleine & Taylor ran all around the museum and had a great time together!

Here they are at the "grocery store"...Madeleine is the check-out lady.

Madeleine wanted to sit inside the Metro bus just like daddy does everyday!

Madeleine caught a ride back to the car in their stroller :-)

Gnomeo & Juliet

Jeff took Madeleine to her 1st movie in theater yesterday - Gnomeo & Juliet! First they stopped at McDonald's for lunch and Madeleine got a happy meal that included a fairy barbie. She was very excited! Then they headed to the movie and made it 3/4 of the way through but then she wanted to come home. Jeff said she was most excited about the Winnie the Pooh preview in the beginning and when she got home, I asked her what movie she saw. She replied, "Winnie the Pooh" so Gnomeo & Juliet didn't make much of an impression on her but they still had fun!

More Snow!

We got more snow this week. Madeleine is excited! Me on the other hand, not so excited being 38 weeks pregnant.

Brrr! A cold day at the Zoo!

Seattle was beautiful today! Blue skies, sun shining and COLD! For once it was colder in Seattle than at our house. We met the Wagar's there and quickly realized we didn't dress warm enough. We rushed from one indoor exhibit to the next. Brr!!! But the girls had fun seeing all the animals and we enjoyed getting out of the house!

Pajama Day! Bring your teddy bear!

Today was pajama day at Madeleine's school! She was SO EXCITED to wear her Dora pj's to school! The kids were also asked to bring their favorite teddy bear with them to school so Madeleine brought her beloved "tubby" bear. The entire theme today was centered around teddy bears which included a fort filled with teddy bears (below). Such a fun day for Ms Madeleine!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! Jeff had the day off so we celebrated at our favorite bakery downtown, Macrina bakery. Since I am on a low-sugar diet because of my pregnancy, this was a real treat! We had a delicious breakfast and brought home a few sweets to enjoy! Madeleine got a Dora memory game for Valentine's Day and this kept her very busy at the bakery. Jeff & I also exchanged presents and had a lot of fun!

Early Valentine Celebration at Fall City Pony Farm!

We met up with Mindee & Audrey at the Fall City Pony Farm for their Valentine's Day Party. The girls had so much fun! Thanks to Mindee for planning!

The girls rode ponies, did a Valentine craft, visited the petting zoo and had some sweet treats! What a fun day!

Here are the girls donating food for the local food bank. They are best little buddies!

Riding the ponies! They couldn't get enough!

Petting Zoo!

Mel's Shower

I hosted a baby shower for Melissa today! We are both about 37 weeks along. She is having a scheduled c-section March 1st so our babies will be very close in age!

Unfortunately, I forgot my camera again and had to use my cell phone.

Delivering Valentine Cards!

Today was a special day at Madeleine's toddler class. Not only did daddy take her to school today, but she got to dress up in her Valentine's Day outfit and deliver her homemade Valentine cards to her classmates! She came home with a bag full too which was very exciting! Very fun!

36 Weeks!

I am officially 36 weeks! Still feeling great overall, lots of energy unlike my last pregnancy. Jeff & I are all set for baby too! Some friends gave me some hand me down clothing, lots of baby gifts and we finished up doing a little shopping at Baby's R Us this weekend so we are ready for Braden! Tonight we took a tour of the hospital since we are delivering at a different hospital than last time. Here I am at 36 weeks:

Valentine Cards

Madeleine's toddler class is exchanging Valentine's Cards next week at school. We thought we would be creative and make ours since Madeleine loves to use glitter and stickers. I did the cutting, Jeff did the gluing (and added a little sparkle too! He got pretty creative!) and Madeleine added some stickers and glitter. We have to make twenty all together but after about 15 or so, Madeleine had called it quits. We'll have to finish another night!

The aftermath...what a mess!

Some of our Valentine's!

Getting Crafty!

I have been doing lots of crafts lately! Super into clip making for Madeleine and all her little friends. Tonight I made a magnetic French memo board for Braden's room! It was so fun! I made one for Madeleine's room too but it wasn't magnetic. I also made the zoo animal magnets you see in the center of the board. So easy! Now he just needs to arrive so we can put some pictures of him on his memo board!
