January always seems like such a long month! After Mackayla's birthday there's nothing exciting going on for a long time, nobody visits, and its so cold outside! A lot of people start the new year off with energy, goals, and motivation. I'm quite the opposite. I feel tired and can't seem to accomplish much. By the time February rolls around, I'm good to go again.
It didn't help that we spent a lot of the month sick. We had two different rounds of a stomach bug go through the family, and a cold/flu bug. Mackayla was the only one that didn't get sick the first go around. She never gets sick!! The second go around, though, she wasn't able to escape it. It was the first time she's actually been sick (besides a mild cold) in about two years. She was great, though, and handled it well. She was much easier to take care of than the boys since she could actually make it to a bowl to throw up in every time. Now I'm being extra paranoid and cautious about keeping everyone healthy. We'd prefer a break from being sick and cleaning up throw-up messes.

Playing with Daddy on one of our healthy days
We have been able to hit a couple of really good sales and get some clothes for a dollar or two each. Mostly winter clothes for the kids next year. Jared and Bradley both got these Cardinals shirts. Bradley was SO EXCITED to match his Daddy. Since they are an Arizona football team Bradley has it all planned out that when we go to Arizona next month, they will both wear their shirts and play football together.
Animal party in the tub! The kids insisted on bathing in our bathtub for a couple days because they just couldn't disturb their animals' home in their tub. They were quite upset when I finally told them the animals had to move out.
When I turned around to put the cheese away I realized Jacob had been enjoying it for a while!

A couple weeks ago I found Bradley dressed up like this. I sent a picture over to Jared at work...
Later that day I sent Jared this picture to help him to feel better.
Bath time
We're already enjoying the month of February. We're getting some projects done in the house and busy planning all our Valentine's Day festivities!

Jacob is cute with the cheese and in his buzz costum. I am glad everyone is feeling better!
February really is a better month, it stays lighter longer and starts to warm up some. Hope you guys stay healthy from now on!
Also, Bradley looks beautiful as a ballerina!
I'm glad you're all finally feeling better. Those nasty stomach bugs are no fun.
I think Bradley looks adorable in both outfits, and it's always nice to have a blackmail picture for his teenage years.
Yeah for clearance sales!!
I'm calling PETA -- kicking those cute animals out of their home! Hope everyone stays well for awhile. Darling pictures!!!
