conrad jay - week 41

With a sick baby on Monday, our Valentine's Day didn't go quite as we planned. But by that evening, everyone was feeling better and had Valentine's money burning a hole in their pockets.  We headed to the toy store.  It was a hard choice, but the two older boys settled on some new weapons.  A lazer gun and a light saber.  Ivan couldn't make up his mind, and walked out with his money still intact.

Nana wrote special notes in everyone's cards and Amos read them to everyone.

We celebrated with steaks and dessert. 

A Valentine's Day fight, for your viewing pleasure.

And here are the boys re-watching their fight.

I wish you could hear Ivan's "Jesus Loves you" song to Conrad.  He was rocking and patting his head, but stood up when I came in.  He sure loves his brother...most of the time.

Lots and lots of food for this guy.  Cheerios and yogurt are still our go-to breakfast.  He also likes pancakes, muffins, and eggs.

This boy was going to town on an apple slice.  He still has no teeth, but he was using that apple like a teether.  Don't worry, I was right there and pulled out any peel he got broken off.  

Jason had to late nights with parent teacher conferences, but then had Friday off.  His whole family came for a visit.  

This was one of the older two boys' favorite spots.  They had fun creating all kinds of lego vehicles.

 Emma was getting out some energy while waiting for it to warm up enough to go outside.

And warm up it did!  We headed to our favorite, Wildcat Glades!

Once again, the boys showed off all their favorite spots.

We sat down for a group picture and realized everyone was staring into the sun!  WHoops!  Lots of smiles anyway!

 Can you believe the weather we were having?  The falls were beautiful.

We were sad to see them go, but in a month we will see them again when we drop off the younger two boys while the rest of us go skiing.

The Corcoran kids brought fun to our Saturday evening!  The kids all played so well together and Mr. Jason was obviously entertaining! These kids LOVE books!

My mom had school off on Monday and my sister was coming to visit so we tagged along too!  Gramps sure got his work-out in pushing this wheelbarrow around.
