February Fun

Jaycee was able to go to Cheer Camp at the begining of the month. She loved it, then she was able to show off some of her new learned skills at the Northridge boys basketball game. She was in the same group as Mae and Kayla. She had a lot of fun.
 Then of coarse we had valentines day. The kids made cute Valentine Jail boxes.  Jaycee needed one for class, Wesley just wanted to make one for fun, they had already made envelopes in his class. They had their class parties on Friday, Valentines was on Sunday this year.
 Wesley was the VIP this week at school.
 We had fun making his poster, we were able to go into his classroom while he explained his poster. We told his class he likes to go on treasure hunts and he has a metal detector to help him out. Also we told them of the time he pretended to be Santa and had the other kids sit on his lap and he would ask them what they wanted for Christmas.  When they would tell him he would say "I don't have that, do you want a couch?" Or anything else he could see.  It was pretty funny.  He was only 3 when he did that.
He is always a VIP to us!

Sledding

When we first decided to buy our lot the developers told us we would probably have an 8 foot wall in front of our house. Well that 8 foot wall ended up being much bigger! Not only do we have a big wall in front of our house but the neighbors have a pretty big hill in there back yard.  When it rains in the spring it makes for some interesting time, but in the winter it is a blast!
In the front we had to build up a little rim so the kids didn't go off the rocks.  A couple of them still managed to go down the front side.
 From the hill in the back the kids could make it all the way down and almost all the way across our yard! It was pretty impressive!
It snowed a lot this year and the kids went sledding a lot!
 And the best part was that me and Bensen could sit inside and stay nice and warm and enjoy watching them at the same time.
Bensen doesn't love the snow as much as the other kids, but he was pretty good about helping us shovel as long as it wasn't still snowing.
