February went Flying By!

February started cold but became beautiful and validated why we moved from the East Coast! It's hard to be upset about a few days when kids are wearing shorts to school in mid-February!

Before the sun came back, Allie showing off her new boots (although you can't really see them) The girl likes her shoes! This morning she was rockin' some new pink puma's that she was ridiculously excited about. 


You saw Jake's 100th day of school collection but on the 101st day of the school year they celebrated with 101 Dalmatians.



Alex, representing the rest of us, headed to Santa Fe to celebrate the wedding of his cousin Ashley, to her love Adan. Also pictured, their little love, Felix. 



We all wished we could have been there, especially Allie who wanted to play with her little cousins, Felix and Rafa. They're only months apart and so cute when all together. 


We missed Daddy on Valentine's Day but I was happy to have my little loves with me!



After three days of board meetings I was beyond thrilled to be able to make it to Jake's Valentine's Day party. Bubba joined us and it was so fun to see Jake and his friends. 


Making cards with Carter
Sweet boy! 
Ms. Weinberg thought of everything, they even had a photo booth!



Getting a valentine from Charlotte.
After the party we came home and walked (well, Jake scooted) to the JCC to pick up Allie. It was a beautiful day and we had to be outside!

That weekend, before daddy came home from Santa Fe, we had a great time at Jake's friend Cash's birthday party. 

It's soccer season again! Jake is now on the Green Phantoms with a mix of new and old ECP friends. Alex got a promotion and is now the head coach or Coach Daddy! 


Allie and I opted for some girl time with two of our favorite girls Hailey & Mollie for pedicures. It was Hailey's first pedicure and Allie showed her how its done! 



I can see these besties going for pedicures for many years to come! 
Pink. Her signature color!
Alex was away for almost a week for work and I sure appreciate all that he does, especially in the mornings and making lunch. I really dislike making lunches. It was also super helpful to have Bubba around to help too! And Starbucks helped one morning too!


The Green Phantom's first soccer game was a win and a great start to the season!

Go Green Phantoms, Go Coach Daddy and Go Jake!


 After soccer we headed down to Trader Joe's, I'm still so thrilled its here. Clearly, Jake didn't read the sign before posing for the picture!


That afternoon I was happy to attend a baby shower for my friend Mollie who is also known as Hailey's mom. Hailey is getting a baby brother in April. I've given away most the majority of Jake's baby clothes but had a few favorite items I was waiting for the right person to share with. Auntie Rachel gave Jake this adorable little outfit. It's amazing that this boy once fit into that!


Allie loves Joshie! Josh, big brother Harlan, mom and dad all came over for dinner on Saturday night. There was lots of Allie and Josh running around chasing each other which is ridiculous. It was so fun and there was something about the two of them running to the table and choosing those seats. This might be one for the wedding slideshow. 

There is something so wonderful about Sunday mornings! Allie found Jake's old Elmo tent  (thank you, Shana) while wearing Elmo PJs and decided it was an excellent place for Peppa and her friends!


Peek-a-boo!
On Sunday Alex and I took Jake with our friend Brian, his girlfriend and his daughter Lilly to see the Lego -movie. Only Alamo Draft House would have a dedicated Lego station for pre-and-post movie play! Jake sat on my lap the whole movie (which is the best ever) and by the way, "Everything is Awesome!"


And while we were at the movie...this was happening! Bubba and Allie hit the town (well the bagel shop and the park) and a good time was had by all!  



February is a big birthday month for our family so birthday wishes to: Mimi, Dorry, Auntie Rachel, Brenna, Josh Vivier and Russell!!! 

Happy March!
