I've just now realized that I'm extremely busy and don't really have time for this. Consequently, I lumped the entire month of February together. It was an eventful month for us all.
These are some of the invitations I made for Madi and Braelyn's Valentine's Day party at daycare. They had a lot of fun at the party. Cleona always does such wonderful things for the holidays.

This year, I was trying to get a little creative. I sent him a Val-o-Gram at work. These girls are from McNary's choir. They are all VERY good singers. (A few of them are my students.) They actually pulled him out of a meeting to sing to him. I was really hoping that it would be in the middle of one of his classes, so I could really get him good. But hey, the hallway works too. If it wasn't in the hallway, Stephanie wouldn't have been able to whip out her camera and capture this moment. So it all worked out. (Thanks, Stephanie!)
On my birthday, I got to watch Erin's last home game of her collegiate career. Doug attempted to get me back by having my birthday announced during the game. The funny thing was that we were talking, and I didn't even hear it. All of a sudden, I noticed that everyone was turned around, smiling at me. I should also note that for my birthday, he made me breakfast in bed. I also spoiled this because I was in the shower when he came in with the food. He really tried though. And since thoughtful actions mean more to me than any materialistic gift, he did a great job!
Look at that post up! She's an animal!
We also had Braelyn's 1st birthday! I can't believe that she is already one. Since her favorite book is Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb, we decided to throw her a monkey party. It is quite fitting that she loves monkeys, and she is our little monkey.
The monkey cupcake tree
Braelyn is starting to dive into the presents.
She's nice and comfy in her new chair. Madi loves that her sister has one too.
Braelyn got so excited about eating the cupcake. When she saw them, she started shaking with excitement. I felt like I was torturing her when I held it out while we sang "Happy Birthday" to her.
The end result...
The boys taking a break
