Mimi and helping parent/child day

Mimi, Kim's Mom, came to town at the end of Feburary:

Mattie was the "Helping Child" at her preschool. This is a very exciting day when the parents (and/or grandparents) come to school for the day and help the children. Mimi, Mattie and Mommie all had a great time:

Mattie and Mackenzie being cute

Just some random cute photos of the kids from February:

Mmmmm, Cheerios

Mattie Skiing

Mattie and I went skiing one day up at Arapahoe Basin:

Valentine's Day

I can't decide which is a better description of these photos.

1. "I've fallen and I can't get up"

or

2. "Hey it's Ralphie's little brother from A Christmas Story"






Happy Valentine's Day!




Mattie and Seth:

The Bathroom Part 3: Almost done!

All that's left is adding the mirror, pendant lighting, curved shower curtain rod and touchup painting:

Mattie and Mackenzie playing with the BIG FOOD and more!

We went to the Cherry Creek Mall to do some shopping and the kids were in a "picture taking mood":





In the middle of the mall they have a play area filled with giant breakfast food for the kids to play on. This place is usally swamped with toddlers. MM and Mck played together on in the cereal bowl:



Giant "Food Coma"!


Awwww. The 2 sisters really love each other:

Mackenzie and Emily and Mattie and Daddy's toys

I've saved a bunch of my Fisher Price "Little People" toys from when I was a kid. I gave Mattie a couple of them to play with now that she is older. The Schoolhouse and the House Boat:




Emily Straka is a neighbor girl who, along with her older sister Mary have been watching Mattie and Mackenie in the evenings when we need a baby sitter. Emily and Mary are great with the kids and MM and Mack just love having them over:
