February

Rylan is following in his sister's footsteps! He's a camera lover to - loves to pose and cheese everytime he sees one around.

Aubrey helped me make homemade pizzas one night. She helped knead the dough.
Sprinkle the cheese - this is her favorite part - she calls shredded cheese sprinkle cheese and wants to put it on everything!
Put on all the toppings!
She loves my new sweeper to - what a big helper!!!

February was full of lots of fun things. Aubrey got to go ice skating for the very first time. Ever since we went to Disney on Ice she's wanted to skate like the princesses. So, we decided to go with some friends, so we could have help (since it had been about 15 years since I had put on a pair of ice skates) and someone to watch Rylan. When Aubrey first stepped onto the ice she fell down and decided she didn't want to do it anymore - I guess she really thought she could just go out and skate like the princesses. After much talking by me and the other parents that were there, I pretty much just made her go out with me again. It took about 15 minutes for us to go all the way around the rink - but once we did she didn't want to stop. It was a lot of fun and a good work-out for me! :)



Rylan had fun watching everyone on the ice - he really wanted to get out there!

Aubrey has become quite the little helper in the kitchen - here she is measuring out some grapes to put into baggies! I'm sure she ate just about as many as she sorted!

Aubrey also LOVES chocolate - we've actually had to use it as punishment a few times - and it works!!!!!! She's definitely her mother's child! :)

Aubrey and Rylan love to play together - she likes reading him stories and he just sits and watches her - it's very sweet!

PRECIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
