South Carolina March 7-11

 Nap time in the car.  Comfortable, right?
 They loved playing together.  Elli especially loved this car:)
 Lillian loved getting her bath.
 Liam wanted me to read him a book while Lana was caring for Lillian.  I loved it.
 She is a precious little girl.  So sweet.
 Look at those eyes staring at Elli.  So attentive.
 Swan Lake photos.  New family of 4.
 Our soon to be family of 4!
 24 weeks.
 A little tree climbing for a great family pic.
 Our turn:)
 Some friends of Lance and Lana own goats and chickens.  We had lots of eggs while we were there.  The kids were able to feed to goats and chickens, then we all took a nice long walk through the woods on their property.  Such a nice family.  They have "adopted" Lana :)
 Such a sweetie.
 A trip to the park yielded lots of squeals of laughter, lots of static, and lots of fun.
 Pizza night!
 Just a glimpse of the unhealthy evening of pizza, chips, pop, oreos, and ice cream.  Glad this is a once in a while kind of meal.
The morning before we left, Liam was ready to play, play, play!  We miss them already and know it will be hard to not see them for a long time.  They head out to Germany the end of April.  Had a great time visiting. I got to snuggle and play with Liam and Lilli quite a bit.  Elli did too:)

A Visit with Gloria, Feb 27th

 They really do seem to love each other.
Elli absolutely loves to hold this little sweet girl:)

Winter Warmer, Feb 24th

 Heather and I "on the ship."  The annual winter warmer went very well and was a lot of fun too.
28 Cedarville girls came to help paint nails, run the parafin wax station, make smoothies, and help at inspiration island.  Great group of girls!

Date Night

Elli really wanted to spend an evening with Brent.  She chose to go to Bob Evans, go figure:)  She wanted me to take this picture like they were really leaving.  Her ideas:)

Meet Rayna Elizabeth Ferguson, Feb. 21

 4 out of 5 cousins.  We were missing Liam, and then Lillian joined the Ferguson family just 3 days later.  Such fun times in our family.
 The bee gets a hug.
 Trip to the Cedarville basketball game on Sat night with Seth, Nana and Grandpa to let the adults at Kyle and Meg's take a nap:)
 Meeting Uncle Brent.
 Elli loves her little cousins.  Fun she is the oldest cousin on both sides.
 The new family of 4. Happy parents.
 Megan's parents got to come down on Thursday and spend almost a week.  Meg's sister Heather also came with her little girl.  We had a great weekend together.
I love this one!

Kids and their toys

 Brent got a helicopter after wishing he had one like my dad's.  (thanks Leah for the new time sucker!)
Elli playing tea party.  So much fun to watch and play with her.
Brent's helicopter motor quit working, so dad and Brent performed surgery on it.  Dad was able to finish it off after ordering a new motor and replacing the battery.  Serious stuff!

Happy Valentine's Day!

 Brent picked Elli up at school holding these three roses.  She was ecstatic:)  I came home to these roses and two boxes of Esther Price candy!  Awesome!
 Elli woke up to this valentine surprise.  The movie Annie and a Pinkalicious book.  She was so happy:)
And finally a picture of pregnant me.  I am 20 weeks 5 days.  Happy Valentine's Day to this little baby boy too!

Happy Birthday Paula

We surprised Paula with brunch at Blueberry Cafe.  Fun group of ladies.

Packed weekend

 Brent's parents came in for the weekend.  We started with dinner at Carrabbas, hanging out Sat, Cedarville basketball game, dinner at Chuck's, dessert at Jenna's, then church and lunch at our house.  Like I said, Packed!  But fun too:)  Aria was blowing bubbles for me.
Elli and Seth were enjoying the game.

Happy 1st Birthday Cody

 Happy Elli.
Happy Cody!

Valentine Party

 Elli and I made a valentine box that looked like a robot girl.  She was quite proud.
They handed out valentines, ate yummy food, and made a craft.  So glad I am able to be at Elli's parties to have fun with her.

Fun with family, Feb 7

 Heather to Gary, "Is she poopy?"  hehehe
 Gloria seems to really like Elli.  Elli seems to really like Gloria:)
 Elli took pictures at Heather's house.  Happy boy!
 Crazy Leah.
 She wanted someone to get her picture too:)
 Cannot get over these chubby happy boys!
 Heather and Leah made a delicious dinner for us.  Thank you for a fun night.
