February

Family bowling night. 

Hannah's 2nd Birthday. Her favorites were her new quilt, her minnie mouse and a backpack full of cookies and bubbles.

She loved wearing the birthday crown and being queen for a day. 

 We took a family trip to St. George with all the Bauman Cousins. We played at the sand dunes, rode tandem bikes, and went to the temple. 

 We went swimming, had a Grandma/Grandpa Tennis camp, and ate dinner at In N' Out. 

The kids especially loved the Children's Museum. 

Cute cousins at the pool.....

We wrapped up the trip with a beautiful sunset, Hannah sleeping through church, and then we headed back home to reality.

 Grandma Shields took us to a jazz concert at BYU for Valentines day.  Sara and Christian babysat our girls and they had fun watching a movie and playing at their house.  

 Dave's Mom turned 60 and we threw a surprise party for her. We had a fun night, (adults only!) celebrating a wonderful woman.

Cell phone snapshots include playdates, flying kites, reading books, our monthly art wall, and grocery shopping in the favorite, "car cart." 

Happy Hannah sporting a furry vest. 

Becca wrote this funny note after a fight she and Allison had. We're still laughing over her matter of factness. She also won a reading competition at school and she chose a clip on reading light for her prize. Here is Allison with her Monkey school friends. We learned the letter O and made Octopus stuffed animals.
