Sleeping Beauty and an Astronaut

Jane LOVES the Disney princesses lately and it is SOOO much fun! She sings the Disney songs with all her might pretty much all day long and wears her princess dresses, too! The other night while we were watching Sleeping Beauty before bed she got on her Aurora outfit and acted out the last part of the movie as it was playing...it was hilarious!

Right before this Jane had pricked her finger on an imaginary spinning wheel and here she is asleep awaiting her prince to wake her up...
After a long battle with the wicked witch, through which Jane stayed still and asleep the entire time :), she was awakened by the prince...
Here she is bowing...
And dancing with the prince. She put on a great performance...better than the movie :)
And here is my sweet little Beckham, who is getting so big...way too fast!! He has been so fun lately. He loves to laugh and run all over the house and climb on EVERYTHING. He is fearless!! He is talking a ton and is just a super smart kid. One thing we love about him is he is just a tank. He is a BIG Harper boy all the way and that makes him super fun to snuggle with :) I love this kid!
Here's daddy giving Beckham a horse ride to his room to go to bed.
He makes a pretty sharp lookin' astronaut I think!
Our strong boy is a pretty darn good climber, too. By the way, the Provo Beach Resort is a TON of fun!!
He really know how to keep a calm head in a stressful situation as well...
I must say, we have just about the most talented children I know :)

The Valentines Day Fun Continues...

Jane had an adorable little Valentines Day party at her school that I got to help out with!! It was so much fun. I was in charge of bringing treats so of course I called upon my favorite cupcake shop, The Cocoa Bean, to make mini cupcakes for the kids in Jane's class! Naturally, they were delicious and turned out amazing. They even added the chocolate hearts dusted with pink glitter on top of the cupcakes free of charge :0 I love that joint!!
During the party, the kids did a Valentine's Day craft...
...and played games. It was so darling! And I must add that Jane looked fabulous in her special Valentines Day get-up!
Jane came home with a pouch (that she made :)) full of Valentines from her friends at school. I know she looks pretty grouchy...however, she really was happy!
Here's the array of goodies she is still working on finishing...
And here she is after devouring one of her Valentines Day treats! Don't ask me what she was crying about...I don't remember. However, she perked up pretty quick once she saw this picture of herself with a green mouth :) Hilarious!!
We may have started February off with two awfully sick kids...again...however, this month is shaping up to be pretty awesome. I love holidays!

Best Valentines Ever!!

Since I don't have any Valentines decorations, this year I got creative with decorating and made a few of my own decorations! I got the ideas from the internet, than put my own spin on them and I think they are really fun!

The day started off with Valentine's surprises for the kids after breakfast...Jane loves surprises:)
Beckham didn't care too much but it was still fun!!
Jane loved her new microphone. She LOVES to sing and is so good at it so this was perfect for her.
Beckham got some magnet letters for the fridge since he loves playing with the magnets I already have. Later on in the day, however, I caught Beckham shoving each of the letters under our fridge...so what's left of the letters have been thrown away. His gift was a bust, but at least he had a few minutes of fun with the magnets in his own special way :)
Carrying on with the homemade theme, I made Ryan my very own box of chocolates. I decorated the box as well as made two different kids of chocolate treats to put inside!!
During the day, the kids and I went to the Provo Beach Resort to ride the carousel...they had a BLAST!! And later on, Mae and Christina came to hang out with us...we LOVE when they come over.

Around 7pm, Ryan came home from work and surprised Jane and I with a rose each...how adorable!!
Oh, and my favorite treat from Costco- Macadamia nut clusters. They are so naughty but oh so delicious:)
Ryan liked his box of chocolates, too!
At the end of the day, Beckham was apparently so ready for his bath that I found him like this!! HE jumped right in with his clothes on!!! Crazy kid!!
What a fabulous Valentines Day this was!!

Some Funnies!!

Here's a few funnies from Jane that I really want to remember. This gal is hilarious!!

1. Jane comes out wearing her Belle dress and in her high pitched "princess" voice she says, "I am Belle...and this is my beast" while pointing to Beckham. And for the rest of the day Beckham is referred to as " the beast."

2. Jane loves to join in when I am putting my make-up on and every time she says, "I need to do my wake-up, too."

3. Jane grabs a bra that had fallen out of the clean clothes basket as I was carrying it back to my room and puts it on. I ask her, "Jane what are you wearing?" and she replies, "your boobs."

4. Being near her bedtime Jane was being crazy and giggling. "I am a giggle box," she says. After she is done giggling, she takes a big, deep breath and exclaims, "good night, nurse!"

5. Jane has a little Doctor set and loves to "Doctor me" as she calls it. I usually pretend to cry when she gives me a pretend shot. Jane was going in for the shot, pauses and looks at me and says, "Now don't cry." She thinks for a minute and says, "well, you can cry a little."

6. One evening I was arguing with Ryan about something and Jane chimes in and says quite forcefully, "But, I just love him ok," referring to Ryan.

Thank you, Jane, for keeping me so entertained!!
