Our Valentine

Aunt Kay's annual Valentine of the Year Party was February 14th.
Jorg had to stay home with Rebecca who had a cold/cough combo. So, since he wasn't going to be there and therefore wouldn't be too
embarassed
he let me nominate him as the Bachmann's
VALENTINE OF THE YEAR!
Here is a short tribute I wrote. It kind of rhymed, kind of didn't

Her Imagination

Rebecca has a splendidly dramatic imagination.
Yesterday she told me that she was talking with Malificent on her little fake phone. Malificent who has now turned "nice". Who would like a pink watch from Santa Claus, 'cause that's her favorite color.
It was totally random but it cracked me up.

A few weeks ago at church, I had to take her out of nursery to change her diaper. (Yes she is sill in diapers/pull-ups/panties, depending on a combination of her mood and the amount of patience I have that day. Trying to potty train this girl is more than frustrating.)
Anyways, I asked her what songs that were singing and what they were learning in nursery. I could not get her to answer my questions. All she would tell me about were the HUGE dragons that were flying all around the room!
There were purple ones, pink ones, green ones. And they were nice dragons. And they told her stories. And they flew very fast.
I love her imagination because it's never boring to be her mom.
She's usually playing some kind of role. Whether it's Peter Pan, Princess Aurora, Snow White, or Baby Kitty. When she's playing the role of Baby Kitty, she calls me Mama Kitty.

On Saturday I was home sick with a head cold. Jorg went out to do some errands and sent me a picture of a license plate from his phone.

Party at our place




Jumping, jumping

We discovered Jumpin' Jacks about a month ago. It's just 1 mile from our house. Why didn't we go sooner?? Well, I thought it was just for bigger kids. But we are hooked. Kids under 3 are free, so we have a few more months of unlimited jumpin.

Sledding Fun

Back in January we went sledding with Jim and Birgit on Mantua Lake, near Brigham City.

I didn't get a photo of this, but there were people fishing through the ice! We walked over to one of the fishermen to check it out. Super fun.
We like it!

Our Entertainment

This girl needs to m o v e . I try to get her out for walks, or to Jumpin' Jacks, but if I don't...well, she finds lots of ways to get her "exsersising". And when she puts on her twirling dress, there's no stopping her.
