V-Day

Ella's Valentines Day Bag
Cirdan had some beautiful flowers delivered
Kaiya tying together her valentines treats - Cakes Pops!
Cirdan surprised me and had a babysitter come over in the morning so we could go out to breakfast. We didn't have much time so we just went to Starbucks. It was perfect! Great way to start our day.
Jett joined me to go to Ella's Preschool Valentines Party. He even got to sit at the sibling table and have some fun treats.

Baby Shower - Stache Theme

I love to throw parties. There was a mom at dance that was pregnant with her 1st boy. She already had 5 girls so I wanted to make this party - BOY! I was never really into the whole 'mustache' thing but I soon found that it was a super fun theme and there were a lot of creative ideas on the web.
We played...Name That Stache - I cut out pictures of men with mustaches and taped up the top of their faces for people to guess who it was.
I used mustache stickers to add a little flair to things
Mustache mold!
It's kind of hard to see but there was mustaches sicking out of the sandwiches with toothpicks
Jett came home and ate some of the tomatoes. I'm glad my kids like them because Cirdan and I are not fans!

Game Farm Park

Ava flew in for Presidents Weekend this year. We decided this would be a perfect time to go to the Animal Game Farm Park in Sequim. I have been wanting to go and with a weekend with all the kids, no competitions and no plans, it was perfect!!
The kids did great. The ferry ride was fun. We got out of the car and walked around. It was cold outside but we got some pictures. It was a nice break for the kids to get out and stretch their legs and look around.  We got off the ferry... then we stopped at McDonalds to go to the bathroom. Ella promised she didn't have to go. She insisted on not going. It only took 15 minutes down the road she had to go. She didn't just have to go....she HAD to go. Like that second. Of course, there was no place to stop for at least 30 minutes. We thankfully found a little restaurant that was opened on the side of the road. The whole time she was crying. It was not fun...then Cannon started crying. He was sick and tired of his car seat and wanted out! It made the last hour not so nice.
We finally got to the park and had a fun time. The kids had a blast!! They didn't know what to expect and were surprised at this adventure. We pulled up to the farm, paid and bought some loafs of bread to feed the animals. We then made our way through the park. I hadn't been there in many, many years but I do remember that the buffalo come right up to the windows so I volunteered to sit in the back. I let Kaiya have the front seat next to Cirdan. 







The bears were so cute! They looked like big stuffed teddy bears.
EEK!!! I don't like Buffalo...my dislike goes back to the year we went to Yellowstone. Those things are big!!! and scary.
Look at that cute face....
This was the most she wanted to roll down the window. We saw some mini vans driving around with the doors completely open. Insane!
After we got out to stretch before the ride home. The windows were so slobbery!!
Our 3 girls









Fun adventure! We will be doing it again for sure!
