Just Playing Board Games with Bella and Mama

While Daddy and Harrison were at a Boy Scout meeting, me and Mama had a date night - complete with a delicious dinner and a marathon game night!  Our awesome cat Bella came over to join us, and I decided to let her play too!

Don't let Bella's posture fool you - she loved every minute of Candy Land - she even won!

Zingo was a little trickier for her to catch on to, but I was sure to be extra patient when explaining the rules, and I might have even helped her out a little:

More Hard Work on My Pinewood Derby Car

Happy Birthday Angel!

Singing Happy Birthday with maybe the coolest candles we've ever seen!

Watching Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs with the birthday boy:

Completely absorbed in the movie with Nadira:

We love our cousins!!

Uncle Dan & Aunt Laura Are Here!!!

Uncle Dan and Aunt Laura got in late last night, but before I headed off to school I decided to come in and wake them up with some snuggles and a game - luckily they loved their early morning wake-up call!

We decided to have some delicious food cooked by Uncle Zach, so we headed to the Marlay for dinner that night:

Uncle Raj joined us too!

And Aunt Laura had never been to the Varsity, so we took her and made sure she tried a Frosted Orange:

Valentine Lunch

We had a delicious lunch together today at my school!  Full bellies, sweet friends and my parents make for a pretty special Valentine's Day!

The Life Cycle of a Star

All covered up and ready to get to work!

Spraying my stars:

After lots of hard work, I'm all finished!

Another Hike in Lullwater Park

Enjoying a snuggly picnic:

And a little football:

Now to feed the ducks!

Did you SEE how far I threw that bread??

And of course we had to show Daddy the tower:

Learning to Read!

I'm starting to read books on my own, and I love to read to anyone who wants to listen.  Thankfully, my big brother is really encouraging and patient with me :)

The first thing I like to do when Mama gets home is read her a book:

We'll just all read together for a bit:

Molly likes a good story too:

She loves when we snuggle with her.  Bailey looks jealous but she just got lots of pets too:

Molly is making it clear that I am not to stop petting her right now - so I'm happily multitasking:
