Valentines Treats from Aunt CC

Aunt Casey sent the kids some fun treats for Valentines Day which we opened this morning at around 6:45 AM (yes, before 7:00 in the morning the Recob family was opening a package). The kids were so excited. Logan and Cooper loved their airplane fans and Ava loved all the fun colors (and her shoes). Casey also included homemade cards for everyone. Logan kept saying "they're soooo cute" "look at Ava's it has cute flowers on it"...super cute. Anyways, the kids love all the ways Aunt Casey makes them feel special. Thanks for all you do for us and the kids Casey...we love you ooodles!!

The Madison Zoo in February

It was a beautiful day on Saturday so we got out and enjoyed ourselves at the Madison Zoo for a couple hours. The kids had a great time. I've never seen a tiger so close...it actually brushed the glass as we watched it pace back and forth...very neat. It was great to have a hint of spring in the midst of a Wisconsin winter.

Rock a Bye Baby

My parents let us take this rocking chair home after Christmas. It was one I had when I was a little girl. The kids just love it...especially Ava and Cooper. This is ava just giggling as she rocks back and forth.

Impromptu Visit

My parents made an impromptu visit down last weekend and we had a great time. We played hard all afternoon and evening and then put the kids to bed. The fun continued as we played Sheepshead with my parents until almost midnight. Randy instituted the Randy rule midway into the game and ended up ahead for a while. It was my father who took home the bank, as they say. I guess things never change. We enjoyed a big breakfast in the morning with Randy's famous scrambled eggs and bacon. It was great to visit and enjoy some quality time together!

Iceskating with Cameron

Logan's friend Cameron has an iceskating rink that his dad made in their backyard (pretty neat, right). Logan has been invited over a few times this winter to skate. He really tries hard and is getting better at staying up on the ice. Cameron, who plays in a hockey league, is really good for a five year old. Keep up the great work Cameron and thanks for teaching Logan a thing or two.

Cooper 'just hangin' out'

Cooper is such a ham when it comes to the camera. He insisted that I take this picture of him when I had the camera out the other day. I can still picture him saying CHEEEESE! What a cutie pie!!
