Superbowl Sunday today. After church and dinner, we went to Baker's for an extended FHE and Superbowl party. After baths, Ben read Natalie a few stories. Their favorite this week is a book from the library called "Flight of the Dodo"...silly book about flightless birds taking to the sky. They love it because they get to say "poop"! Go figure...

We have an annual membership to Hogle Zoo so we took advantage of a sunny day and headed up to the zoo. The weather was so nice and the animals were surprisingly active. They monkeys were swinging about, the cougars were fighting, the leopard was pacing, and the elephants were eating snow! We took our traditional photo by the "How Do You Measure Up" primate silhouettes. We have several of these and it's fun to see how the kids have grown.

The picture is from today, but the story is from last week...
Last week, while one of my piano students was waiting for her mom to pick her up I was starting "Sleeping Beauty" for Natalie and my student told me Aurora was her favorite princess and when her family went to Disneyland in December she got to dance with Prince Phillip. After her story I told her Aurora was my favorite princess too. Then I asked Natalie..."who's your favorite princess?" Her reply: "Me!". Too cute! She's our favorite princess too!

Awhile back one of our friends posted a picture on her blog of her daughters "bed head" and dared anyone to compete...well I think she has some good competition with Natalie's "bed head" hair..."business in front and a party in the back!"

Here's Hadyn and Natalie having making messes and having fun. I'm so lucky to have my sister down the street to trade babysitting with. We trade off during with week with Haydn and Natalie so we can volunteer at school in Ben and Isabel's Kindergarten classes. Natalie loves playing with Haydn...she asks for him every morning after we drop Ben and Isabel off! She's become interested in "having a friend over" because she watches Ben do it everyday.

It's my Dad's 60th birthday tomorrow. To celebrate, my Mom planned a birthday dinner for him with just the kids...no grandkids. We had a nice dinner at their house and played a couple of games. I love my family and enjoy fun times like that together.

We made heart shaped pancakes for breakfast this morning...a preview for Valentine's Day next week. Just a lazy Saturday morning. Bryan worked for about 36 hours Thursday and Friday so we were trying to keep busy but quiet...not an easy task for two kids!
