Monday February 19. Monday night was spent at Marv and Paula’s house, because Sunday night didn’t work out. We had Ceci with us too, and we had a very fun evening with her and Wagenbachs.
Wednesday February 21. We usually have Alliyah on Fridays, but this time it was a Wednesday also. I was lucky enough to get to watch Alliyah and Clay at the same time, although it was hard holding them both at the same time.
Friday February 23. Alliyah again. We never get tired of little tykes around here. She chose Katie as her favorite, but she does like Josh a lot.
Saturday February 24. We had three of Tim and Emily’s four. Wade had a meltdown at first, but he warmed up. We all had a great time filling the piñata for the pizza party. Kiowa was also dropped off, as Levi and Echo were trying to paint and Kiowa was trying to help. She was picked back up at about lunch time. The new rocking chair was also brought back. Some of the other kids thought it looked like a nursing home rocking chair, but it is really comfy.
Sunday February 25. Mid-Winter-Beat-The-February-Blues Pizza party. Almost everybody was there, except for Lucas & Chelsea, Derek & Meaghan, Trent, and Joel & Marcy. It was also kind of a informal shower for Mike and A. Joyce. The Pizza Hut pizza was delicious, and the cousins had a good time eating the M&Ms on the tables. We younger cousins spent a lot of our time out on the trampoline playing games. We did spend some time inside though.
The Piñata was a big hit. Brandon was the one who officially broke the piñata, although some solid whacks by Drew and Josh and some other boy cousins helped too.
Tuesday February 27. Meet Superchick. You could see the hole in his shell the night of the pizza party, and it was first spotted Saturday around noon by Levi. Took the poor little guy several days to hatch, and in the end Dad had to help him on Tuesday. Not sure what we’ll do with him. He was the only one to make it though, one out of about thirty.
Wednesday February 28. Cason and Clay again.
Friday March 2. Friday at about nine o’clock, Sarah, Josh, and I went with Levi, Echo, and Kiowa to haul scrap to the junk yard. It was a pretty cool trip. In the meantime Mom and Katie had to go to a dress fitting, taking Alliyah with them. They got back before we did, and Anya came over to play. She and Alliyah must have been little buddies. Jenna also came for lunch.
Obviously not sure what to think. Cute as a button though.
Saturday March 3. Saturday was spent hanging out, and I'm not sure where I was while this was taken. Saturday evening, while the older kids were at young group, Sarah on down were at A. Sarah's for Grandpa Steiner's birthday. U. Dave’s were there too, except for Aaron, Samuel, and Mindy.
A fun time was had by all.

for awhile anyways . . .
