February started out with a fun event. Mara decided that she wanted her ears pierced!  So we went to the mall and did it! She did really good and is happy that she has earrings.

Pat took his birthday off from work, we took the little girls to his parents, and we went out to lunch.  He really wanted to go to Teppanyaki & Sushi. So we went and had an interesting time. He over ordered on sushi and got too full, but had ordered and Eel sushi, took one bite of it and was done.

When we got home I made Nameless cake for his birthday.  We introduced Melody to the goodness of the frosting.

Jaina even helped me frost the cake.

Melody doesn't sit still much, even for shows. But this particullar day she  watched a good bit of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with Pat and the kids.

Every once in a while Jaina will be so tired that she throws a fit,  so this day I put her in her room and she ended up falling asleep!

We celebrated our birthdays at Mana's house.

Mara lost tooth #9 after tugging on it for a week.

Melody came and snuggled up with Xander to see what he was doing on his iPod.

Now that she's more mobile she's discovered the cabinets, and she loves to put things on her head.

For my birthday we went to Red Robin for dinner.

Along with Lana & kids

Another fun selfie from the baby.

She was entertained for about 10 minutes in the basket full of books.
[Image]
She really loves to splash too. But when she starts I pull her out because I don't like getting soaked.

The kids had fun combining their Tsum Tsums, along with a few of mine.  Stacking them the way they were meant to be stacked.

Melody was out growing her infant seat, at 15 months. Our big car seat was expired and the seat belt was easily loosened, so we took it into Babies R Us, turned it in, and got a discount on a new seat!!
[Image]
She snuck the iPod and 'hid' in the corner to play with it.
[Image]
And she's discovered the peek a boo through her legs.

I love this stage!

She also loves sunglasses and playing with dishes.
