February happenings

 So, February has been pretty standard around here.  We had a freezing pipe issue that resulted in some outdoor maintenance and ripping out the basement carpet.  Fun!
 We had a bout of the flu with Noah and Sam falling ill for about a week.  Sam had some very evident "fever ears" but everyone recovered well, thankfully.
 We have been rocking some puzzles lately for winter fun.
We celebrated the Super Bowl with some Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches, Go Eagles!
 Isaac's preschool had an Olympics Day that I was able to attend.  Gold medals for everyone!


 We began some lessons in our 80s childhood experiences!
 Isaac and Bamma enjoy sending me "Smootch Selfies" when I am at work!

 We got quite the February snowstorm with combined totals over a foot in the span of a week.  The boys did have one snow day, which was fun!

 We had an Olympic/birthday celebration in honor of Fred and Kelly (friends with February birthdays) at the Worst's house.  They happen to have a pretty good sledding hill nearby!
 Mom matching at it's finest!
 Big boys realize the physics of added weight!
 Back at the house, we posed for the pictures in true Olympic Style!
 And enjoyed an Olympic Downhill cake!
 Go team USA!

 More snow, more shoveling, rinse and repeat!
 Dad came out and did some tackling this time too!

 Valentine's Day was pretty fun, Isaac came home with quite the swag bag!
 And Mike came home with gourmet cupcakes for all!
Noah earned his brown belt in karate, now he is referred to as "Mr. Rodriguez" during class.
 This weekend was the Nerge Fun Fair!  It was your typical fun fair: loud, hot, crowded and filled with long lines of overhyped children.  But, the guys loved it.  Mike and I, well, we endured it.  The balloon artist was a big hit!

Last night, Mike, Noah and I went to see Black Panther.  And Bampa came to hang out with the younger two.  We all know that Sam likes sushi.  Isaac kept telling us he liked it and wanted it (even though he'd never tried it).  So off they went to a local sushi place!  Sam, per usual, did great!
 Isaac declared, "I don't care for the sushi" and convinced Bampa to go to Jewel to buy ice cream and cookies.  Go figure! 
So, here we go into the birthday season of March!  Can't wait for all the excitement ahead!
