February- part 1

So much fun in February.  First, there was Valentine's Day.  Ruby was all dressed for the occasion. Owen was just happy to be celebrating love as you can see in his photo below.  

Then there was story time.  We love to sing songs (especially when it includes shaking bells), we love ginormous teddy bears, and little dolls, and we also love hangin with other little people.

Free concerts at the Canyons Resort all spring (which apparently according to them starts in February- who knew?!).  So, we headed up for some tunes outside in the snow and ended up enjoying our TWO rides in the air more than anything.  First, you ride the open air Cabriolet from the parking lot up to the resort which gives you a nice view...and then we scored tickets from a really generous security guy to ride the enclosed gondola further up the hill to a midmountain lodge where we had a snack and played in the snow for a bit.

The first ride

The gondola

It was President's Day weekend- busy- lots of skiers- Owen was very interested.

Open Gym at the Black Diamond.  Foam pit was a highlight.  Apparently, so were the mirrors.  This picture above is Owen kissing himself in the mirror.  HI-larious.

" I wear my sunglasses at night...so I can (so I can) see".  Owen was channeling that song as he showed off his new sun glasses the other night.  The boy really is not lacking in self esteem. :)

Niether is this girl.  She don't care if her naked little rolly polly heiny is hangin out her sweatshirt.  She will climb right up to the counter and preach her words to the choir.  Which, on a side note, she has a lot of these days.  About a month ago, she started trying to repeat lots of things.  We can make out at least a few new words each day.  

Pinterest- my new love (thanks, Hope!), inspired the dino sweatshirt that I put the fins on above, and this mess-free finger painting idea.  Pretty ingenious.  

"Owen, you missed a perfect opportunity to make orange.  Move over and let me show you."

In honor of Valentine's day and a whole month of love really-

"We loved with a love that was more than love."
