The Powell's: February 2011

My little Loves

Amist the chaos of getting ready for work on Valentines Day morning, I decided to make a cute little valentine of my boys to put on Facebook.... Here's how it went: "Here Deeg put this shirt on, I want to take your picture for Grandmas and Grandpas" D:"No, I don't want a shirt on" K: (Struggling to put shirt on) "Ok just let me take one cute picture... sit here on the floor and hold Griff" D: "I don't want sit on the floor! That's making me sick!" K: "Fine we'll just take it on the bed... say Cheese!... Say OOGA BOOGA... SAY TRACTORS... UGH Look at me!"

Love you all!

We have fun together!

Treehouse Museum

The Sword in the Stone... Guess I'm not Knight Worthy.

Deegan tried SO hard, again and again!

Chief Griff

Sick day. What better way to watch a movie but in the comfort of a storage tub!?

Just like Daddy

Learning to get around... and get stuck.

Tumbling class

Running the obstacle course

Griffin even gets to join in on the fun!

Brotherly Love! Chillin on the entryway floor.

The favorite thing to do when dad gets home from work!

Bath Time!!

Deegan decided he needed to open up the piggy bank and buy this super oversized "Concrete Mixer" yesterday. He is in HEAVEN and of course had to sleep with it! I'm not sure this pictue even does the size justice! it's so big. My first comment at the store was "We can't fit that in our house!" Oh well, guess we'll have to! It is pretty cool, it actually works and you can turn it to "mix", or turn the other way for whatever you put in to come out of the slide thing (I'm sure there's a technical name, and Deegan probably knows it, but I don't, so "slide thing" it is).

Before and After

Griffin got his Helmet off the Wednesday before Christmas. I knew going in to the appointment that it was probably our last, or maybe one more, but I went in and the Dr. said. "He looks great", did 2 little measurements and said "Here's your trophy" as he handed me the helmet. I almost didn't know what to do because I still wasn't really expecting him to be done! I asked him, "That's it? He doesn't need it at all anymore? Do we need to come back sometime or anything??". "Nope! You're good to go!" he told me. I left feeling a little lost like I didn't know what to do! :-) Griffin on the other hand was SO excited to not be wearing it. He would rub his head and hair like "Ahhhh! I missed you head!" :-) The Dr. told me that he changed much quicker than most kids do and we must have caught it at just the right time. He only wore the helmet for 8 and a half weeks and they expected 3 months at least! Anyway- Here are the Before and After pics.
