Grandma and Grandpa L. visit!

My (Jackie's) Mom and Dad came to visit at the end of February.  We had a great weekend with them!  The kids were in heaven!  I love this top picture of my Dad with Brick... this must be where Brick gets his blue eyes from : )

We went bowling...





And to Target...
And rock climbing at the Y...


All 3 kids did a great job climbing!
So did Joe!
We had our 2nd snow of the year while they were here, too.

We made a yummy banana cream pie, Mina helped pipe on the whipped cream, mmmmm!
And we went for breakfast the morning they left... Mayzie REALLY liked the blueberry syrup!
We had such a fun time with you, Mom and Dad, thank you so much for coming!

Brick smiles, Valentine's day, and a lost tooth

 At around 2 months, we started seeing some wonderful smiles from our little guy!  And we finally got some on camera!  These sweet moments fill my heart!


 Here is our Valentine's morning!  I surprised the kids with some fun decorations!
 And, Miss Mina is officially a jack-o-lantern!  She is missing both top front teeth, and her 2 bottom side ones.  She lost this last one at school, which is especially cool because you get a tooth box to put your tooth in.  The new ones are really taking their time coming in, but she has been a good sport about it.
