February iPhone photos (part 1)

Have I mentioned my desire to be somewhere warm and beachy? If so, I think it’s worth mentioning again. I love the look of snow…but that’s pretty much where any degree of my love for winter ends.

Don went out this afternoon…one of those last minute crazy people fighting the crowds at Walmart. But the snow has been coming down steadily and the item he needed to buy was kind of important. Anyway, by the time he gets home, there are multiple cars stuck in the snow along our street. Things didn’t get any better when his car also got stuck in the middle of the street…right in front of our house. Ironically, the item he went out to buy was a shovel. Thankfully we have the best neighbors in the world. They were able to push him along to get out of the middle of the street. Now I’m just praying the roads are a little better as he drives to work tonight and home in the morning. (**before I finished writing this, he was able to make it safely to work…though the roads were pretty horrible)

I may not have pulled my dslr out very much lately but I did pull out my iPhone on plenty of occasions. So many occasions, in fact, that I’m going to break up this month’s pictures over two posts. I know–what a thrilling thought!

You may have thought (hoped) I was done with pictures from my photoshoot with Rachel a few weeks back. I’m not. But maybe after this post?

those smiles make me smile

I know I’ve posted this one already. But it needs an encore. Someone in this picture needed a nap and didn’t like that I wouldn’t let her hold my phone.

the week before Valentine’s Day gets overloaded with everything heart-shaped and pink

**before

**and after

homemade nutella/hershey’s poptarts for Valentine’s breakfast

this face is almost too much to handle

We were able to go out the night before Valentine’s Day because of some very “Loving” girls who watched a whole army of kids at church that night. My idea of a fun night out is to go thrifting. Thankfully my husband agreed. But I had to laugh as I found myself in the fitting room a few times that evening as he waited on me.

and ice cream at Ginny’s is a must

The rest of that weekend we were able to relax at home while the kids were away. But I did force Don to go outside to take a few pictures together in the snow.

This snow storm is a little less relaxing with the kids at home. But if all goes as planned, tomorrow should be a fun day of playing in the snow and eating homemade ice cream and snow cones! And I really wouldn’t have it any other way.

January iPhone photos

It’s so crazy that we’re already into the second month of 2015. Judging by my iPhone pictures, January was filled with junk food. And trust me, that is pretty much reality. February is an exciting month for us–we will be finding out the baby’s gender next week! So I’m assuming the next week will go by very slowly.

(If you follow me on instagram, most of these are repeats..)

Maggi gifted this beautiful prayer journal to me this past Christmas. It is really helpful to be able to see needs written out in front of you.

the boys and I always love to wake up to see boxes of donuts on the counter

Stephanie gave me this devotional. I highly recommend it–seriously encouraging.

And this mug cookie from my favorite food blog has been my go-to quick dessert lately. It is seriously good and only takes a few minutes to whip up. The first time I made it, it was kind of crumbly. But she added a note to the recipe to help prevent that. And it is so good. Check out her other recipes as well. Mel never lets me down.

her pigtails are my favorite

an afternoon outing with a good friend and good food was much needed this month

16 weeks and already starting to feel those tiny baby kicks

this picture kind of demonstrates why I don’t have many pictures of all 4 kids together

Lion’s Choice cones are always a good choice

while shopping at Target, Kingston saw this coat in the girl’s section and yelled “Chewbacca coat!!” He had to try it on.

This past Wednesday marked 17 weeks for me. It also was the day I had my first root canal. If anyone wants to know, it wasn’t as painful as most people describe (and I am a wimp) but I have been absolutely traumatized reliving those 45 minutes in my brain. I’m not sure what they’re actually doing during a root canal, and I don’t want to know, but I am so grossed out by even guessing.

but since I didn’t cry (like I thought I would) I thought I deserved a QT pretzel

I’m looking forward to learning more about photography this year so I can pass some helpful tips to Liam. He’s already learning to find the natural light.

So, one week left until we find out the gender…any guesses?
