BUSY FEBRUARY

We have been working really hard on the house.  Painting trim, painting window seals, and painting shutters and the garage door. 

Bryan went on a 100 mile bike ride around South Padre Island.  It was pretty windy and he came back sun burned.  Finished in about 6 hours.

 My cute little Valentine's.

Bryan took the girls to a Princess Ball one weekend.  Way better than going to Disney.  They got one on one time with each of the princesses and didn't have to wait in 2 hour lines.  Jane LOVES Moana.  Kate LOVES Ariel and Rapunzel.

Grandma Koplin got the girls a popcorn popper.  They love watching the popcorn and melting the butter for our weekly Friday night movies.

 Bryan's Valentine gift- a chocolate hand gun!

Bryan made the girls a bunk bed.  It is so awesome! The girls love it. 

For Kate's 5th birthday weekend, we went to South Padre Island and enjoyed some pool time, beach time, and relaxation.  It was a little cold and cloudy, but we had a heated outdoor pool and everything was all good.

 Pink cereal for Valentine's Day.

I took the girls to the Rodeo and Stock Show.  I am pretty sure their favorite part was watching the little chickens run around the cage.

Kate had a Little Mermaid birthday party with friends.  She got a cute Little Mermaid shirt from Jane, an easy bake oven from Grandma and Grandpa Koplin, a microphone/swimsuit/clothes/
climbing rope from mom and dad.

 My Valentine from Bryan.  It reads "Lets Bang".  It's made out of bullets.  So fun!

Kate turns 5

Kate is a beautiful girl inside and out.  She is a good helper in the kitchen.  She is a good helper with Jane.  She is a good listener.  She always does her homework and enjoys doing her homework.  She loves to dress up, put make-up on, paint her nails, and do fun things with her hair.  She always wants to wear a dress to school.  She is nice to everyone at school.  She knows how to count to 100.  She knows all her upper and lower case letters.  Sometimes she mixes up her b, d, p, and q's.  Kate always wants to go to church.  Her primary teachers say she knows all the answers.  She continues to love arts and crafts.  She draws pictures of our family and writes everyone's name down too.  She is quite the emotional one.  She feels bad when she hurts others.  Her feelings can be easily hurt.  She is pretty good at acting like a princess when she cries by running up the stairs and falling the the ground wailing for help.  Quite the drama queen we have.  She is getting good at performing in front of others, whether it is song or re-enactment of a movie.  I am so glad to call her mine.  She is a joy to be around and I love her very much.
