Happy Valentine's Day!

I can't look at this picture and not laugh! :)


I made this delicious dessert for Valentine's Day! It's chocolate chip cookie dough on the bottom, then a layer of oreos, and topped with a brownie layer. Of course, we had to serve it with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup on top! Yum!!!

Outside Fun

It has been so warm here lately! We took advantage of a warm day last week and played outside. Brielle loved the swings!


Mckenna has always been a slide girl.


We were lucky that it was a day that Devin didn't have to go to school and was able to take some time off to play with us.

Grandpa and Grandma Bowman got Mckenna a make-a-puppet kit for Christmas. We have had fun making finger puppets.

Picture Overload!

Just some random pictures we have taken (by the way, there are like 6 posts below this one. I finally updated haha)




My first photo shoot with our camera (and I wasn't in auto!)









Brielle- I think this first one is my favorite




Another random picture that I thought was funny

Inside Fun

I love these cheeks!! You have probably heard that it takes more muscles to frown than to smile. Well, I think that for Brielle it is the opposite haha. I think her chubby cheeks have been kissed more than anybody's cheeks! I just can't stop kissing them!



We have been doing lots of fun things inside since it is cold outside.

Mckenna sure loves licking beaters!



We made some Rainbow Rice



As you can tell, Mckenna had tons of fun!



Playing doctor is another fun thing we have been doing.

December

Here are the stockings that I made... I love them!






Brielle loves baby food!

We went to 2 gingerbread house parties this year






This was our first Christmas not being with our families in Idaho. I'm not gonna lie, I got homesick. But, it was nice to have our own Christmas and start some family traditions.



We were all very spoiled and got lots of gifts. Mckenna got a new scooter from Santa. It was so warm that she even got to ride it outside.


Santa knows Devin well and every year he puts Chapstick in Devin's stocking. Devin was thrilled and as surprised as ever! :)


The day after Christmas, I had to have my wisdom teeth out! It was no fun. That was the only break that Devin had and they had to come out now... so you do what you have to do! Here's a picture the day after. I didn't get very swollen, but man did they hurt!


The same day I got my wisdom teeth out, our family was struck with the stomach flu! Poor Devin had to take care of me with my teeth and Mckenna who was throwing up. That night I started puking, I was ready to die right then haha. But mine didn't last too long. Devin never got it which is a miracle because he was taking care of all of us sickies!

November

In November, Mckenna turned 3! She loves the book Pinkalicious. So, she had a "Pinkalicious" Birthday Party. We made pink cupcakes just like the book. We had some friends over and we read the book and ate pink food. Mckenna was in heaven!





We spent Thanksgiving with some friends here in Iowa. It was in the high 60's on Thanksgiving, so we played at the park for a little bit before dinner.

I have to include this pictures for the sake of documenting :). Every year when we put up our Christmas decorations, Devin puts these stockings on and does a little dance haha. This year, I actually made new stockings for our family, but I couldn't bear to get rid of these ones. I don't think Christmas would be Christmas without Devin's stocking dance. haha
