February 7

It is Super Bowl Sunday and our best friends the Law's came over to hang out. We watched the Super Bowl and cheered for the Saints but more importantly we watched our kids play and have fun together. Our kids, Mikaela and Lucas are 3 days apart (August 13th and 16th) They are quite fun to watch and they enjoy each other very much. They have lots of fun playing and making a mess. They truly are BEST BUDDIES!!

Today we went to Disneyland because the SFS Center for the Performing Arts, Kids Unlimited Showgroup danced at the Carnation Plaza. We have been dancing there for many many years, (since I was in high school) and it now happens every year the first weekend of February. We lucked out because it did not rain till about 4pm. Mikaela was very happy to ride the Carrousel with ChiChi and Aunt Ryann. She then spent the afternoon with Matt while I was back stage with the girls. It was a fun day.

This is Mikaela and my rainy day project today, Play-Doh. She had lots of fun rolling it, making shapes, numbers, and other cut outs.

So happy Matt is home tonight. We had a great dinner at the table all of us talking, eating and saying cheers to family. Bath time is one of Mikaela's favorites. She especially likes the part right before she gets in the bath when she runs around the house naked and calls out "naked butt" I love her in her little hoody towels, wish I would have caught the back of this one with the curly monkey tail.

Happy Birthday Jamie!

Chapman started back this week and I am once again teaching. :) I have a jazz class for the non-majors. This is my second semester teaching at Chapman and I am very happy to be back.

So this is my tired, sleeping little girl. When Matt works out of town, I can't pick her up from Grammy and Pa's till almost 10pm, so she is tired and ready for bed when we get home. Tonight she said she need everything with her in her bed. So total in her crib is: 3 bears (one from grandma's house and the 2 others were baby gifts), a Shamu, her night light, 2 blankets and her blankie that use to be her sleep sack- pink leopard print, her pillow, glow worm (not seen) and yes Mikaela and her paci. Yes I know she is almost 2 1/2 and sleeps with a paci, working on it :)

I have to count my blessing with Mikaela and her sleeping. She is a fabulous sleeper and has been since she was 1-2 months old. I am very thankful for this. I love to watch her sleep, does this feeling ever change? I am sure not.

Here's a look at our family calendar for the month of February, the shortest month of the year. Weekends in February are already full with dance competitions for the first 3 of them, then a weekend in Big Bear with friends. We have some birthday's to celebrate: Papa, Grammy, Amy and Jamie. And how could we forget Valentine's Day on the 14th.
