Bike Riding & Singing
On Friday when I stayed home with Colby, we really needed to get outside for some fresh air. So we rode bikes out front! Colby actually started riding his tricycle that Santa got him for Christmas. He's pretty cute on it..he just stands and walks the bike forward (Fred Flinstone-esque!)


Colby was feeling better this weekend...Here he is hugging his big bro :)
The boys got an American Idol game for the Wii...Here is Jackson singing :)

Happy Valentine's Day!!!
The boys & I decorated the house with balloons and planned a scavenger hunt for Daddy, to find his Valentine's presents. Here is the table all set up....
I found these cookies at Michael's that you could write on with food color markers! So I wrote the clues on them for the scavenger hunt! Here is the first one...
The boys were dying for Daddy to get home to start the "challenge," as Jackson was calling it! (He loves shows like Survivor and The Biggest Loser where they have "challenges!")
Here Jack is giving Daddy his first clue in the scavenger hunt!
His first clue led him to his new valentine's jammies!
Jack was so excited the whole way & kept giving away the clues :)
And he found his last clue.....a coffee mug with the kids pictures inside :) We finished off the night with a romantic dinner of take-out taco bell :)

Day Care Party
After Jack's preschool party, we headed over to Kai's for the day care party.
Kai Kai with the boys...
Jack and his buddy Luke....
The kids at the party...you see the babies trapped in their high chairs. They were all saying "ma ma; ma ma" to get out of their seats :)

I liked the Valentine holders Kai made for the kids...
oooohhhh, he got a "choo choo" on his candy!

Preschool Party
I went to Jack's Valentine's Party yesterday at his preschool. Here he is decorating a cupcake. He seemed a little bored :)
Cute bulletin board in his classroom (nevermind the missing apostrophe in "Gods"!)

Jack putting his Valentines into the bags....
His sweet face when his teacher handed him his Valentine bag :)

Valentine's for Mommy
On Wednesday, Ka was home with the boys. When I got home the boys came running out & took me to my "e-prise" (surprise). They had got me Tulips, chocolate covered strawberries, and balloons (although I was informed those weren't really for ME, rather the boys!)....Jack was most excited to give me the Tulips (he knows they are my favorite), and the "moo-sic" card he got me! He's all into the music cards, and Kaleb said they had a hard time getting one that wasn't from a husband to a wife, etc. Jack was very sweet about it :) Oh,and they cleaned the house! That was the real highlight :) lol...

Sick Boy
Colby has been a sick baby this week. He has had a cold for 2 weeks, and Ka took him to the doctor on Tuesday. Turns out he has RSV, which caught us totally by surprise. We spent all last winter trying to avoid RSV since he was so little then...It wasn't on my radar screen this year at all. Anyways, Kaleb stayed home with him most of the week, and I am home today. He's so pitiful when he's sick!
Colby is so funny about time out. He's watched his brother go to time out many times before :) So now, if Colby does something and we say "no no Colby...that's not a good boy," he automatically puts himself in time out! It's like he knows that is where he's supposed to be if he's being bad. I took a picture of him the other night putting himself in timeout....so precious :)
After Jack's party, Kaleb put the pinata up on the patio roof to get it out of the way. I guess the wind blew it down the other day & Colby went and got his bat and started hitting the pinata :) Ka got some cute shots of him....

Disneyland
We like to go to Disneyland on Jack's birthday weekend, but it was pouring rain last weekend, so we didn't make it. It was absolutely beautiful weather today (we got to wear shorts!), so we decided to go. Here is our boy in front of the flowers at the front of the park....

We took Colby on the "tea pots" (as Jack calls them!) for the first time today.....He liked it!


They've changed the name of Tom Sawyer's Island to the Pirate's Lair (a Captain Jack Sparrow theme). We went over & ran around for awhile with the boys...


Jack found the treasure! He had followed the treasure map & found it (more of an accident really!)...
Sweet side views...

I know he hates the hat, but man he looks cute!!!
Colby feels about hats, just as he feels about socks & shoes :) Not his favorite thing! I think his face says it all here!
