February!

Such a busy, busy month! Where to begin.....

Dan took the girls to the Daddy-Daughter dance again this year - it's become such a fun tradition that the girls really look forward to.

And, of course, the obligatory goofy-face picture. :)

My mom turned 60 in February so we planned a party to celebrate the day. it was a lot of fun, though the planning and food prep kind of consumed me for a while, but it was totally worth it. And dad surprised her with a trip to Hawaii!!

The cake...no, it's not a graveyard, we were going to do a gardening theme with fake veggies but I forgot them at home so we went with the "it's spring and you're preparing the soil" theme. ;)

Hayley & Ainsley bought her a giant TV remote!

Surprise! You're going to Hawaii!!!

Ainsley also had a birthday in February - can't believe that girl is already SIX!
She got her own set of golf clubs for her birthday - she was so excited! She said, "Mom, do you know why I like it so much? Not because they're pink, but I don't not like it because they're pink but because they have their own pack and golf balls and they're mine." :)

 
Practicing her swing in the backyard.

She had a party at the Super Jump Party Zone - so fun for the kids and no-stress for mom.




Ainsley on the big slide - this is about the only picture I could get of kids playing, they were all moving so fast every picture was a big blur

Ainsley's cupcake-cake

Ainsley and some of her buddies (Gloria, Sydney, Hope and Kendal)

We had fun with a family party at home too - we went with a rainbow theme inspired by a cake we saw online.

Do you think she's excited to get this movie?

The rainbow veggies....

...and rainbow fruit...

...and rainbow cake...just wait until you see what's inside...

How cool is THAT? And each layer was fruit-flavored so it tasted like Froot Loops! Such a fun cake and really very easy. I got the idea HERE and HERE.

I love Hayley's big smile in the background!

After eating only the red layer, Ainsley then ate all the frosting between the layers and said she was full.

I love Ainsley's and Ella's faces in this picture!

It was a busy, busy month with lots of parties and fun...so much fun that I forgot to take pictures on Valentine's Day. Oh well. Maybe next year.
