February

So not much has happened in February but it has been pretty good. There was the super bowl...guess who Mark wanted to win? The Steelers to show our support we made shirts for everyone which was more fun than we thought it would be. We went over to Mark's parents house and watched the game, Steelers lost but hey it was fun none the less. For Valentines Day Mark got me some flowers which caught me off guard Mark is one that "Doesn't need a special day to spoil his lady." Smart move getting the flowers. Mark also got Marin a rose and it is still in her room she calls it her Belle flower. Anyway Kate and Marin made cupcakes for their family (Marin ate most of ours...all but 2) and then with the extras we went around and door bell ditched and dropped them off to our Provo "singles"

Ever wonder what a almost 3 year old mouth looks like full of cupcakes...here you go.

For Christmas Mark and I got a double jogging stroller and I'm in love! It is so fantastic! Here are the kids before we headed out for our first test run.
Along the way we found the greatest tire swing ever! Those of you running the 5K for Tyson in May or June will get to witness this beauty!
Near the end of the run Marin kept telling us she wanted to run so we let her out and she ran and Paxton was sound asleep.

Since the weather was nice the next day Mark thought hey lets run again....The end of run number 2 I soon joined them on the floor. Marin has PB and J on her face, ignore that., but I'm seriously LOVING this stroller!
Mark's birthday was yesterday and Marin and I made a happy birthday Daddy banner and decorated the front door. We had a nice evening . Mark worked so he was a little beat but it was fun. Mark and the kids with the banner behind him and his presents.
Now Mark wanted an ice fishing pole but I wasn't able to get him one in time for his birthday so being smart and handy I made him one. We all had a good laugh over it. It is a massive stick from outside (okay so it was a tree I cut down and in the process almost cut my finger off) a spool of string and attached to it was an ice tray in the shape of fish! I probably laughed harder than Mark but it was funny. He is excited to test out the "real" one cause the one I made had a fateful end.
The end of the fishing pole I sacrificed my finger for was now Darla's new chew toy.
Mark had a nice birthday and here is hoping the last few days of February are nice for all of you. We got a ton of snow last night so it has been fun to have some snow again, Mark and Marin went and shoveled his Nana and Grandpa's walks and then thought what the heck and shoveled the homes 2 doors down on each side of us. What good little service people they are!
