Another perfect Jacquary!

We kicked off the 1st weekend of the month with family time,

and then a daddy daughter/ mommy son night!

It was equally great to see how close Jenna is with her daddy

as it was to get to talk to and spoil Kade.

On Sunday we went to church, then swimming, then

had a fun football filled evening with Mike's family!

We watched the big game while the kids played on the floor and loved on each other!

If I could relive that day every Sunday it would never get old!

On my birthday Michael made me breakfast in bed.

It's funny because he makes me breakfast in bed at least twice a week, but it is still one of my favorite romantic gestures... it is probably my love for breakfast food mixed with my un-love for mornings ;)

Then we took James to spend the day with his cousins, so we could go kid free shopping for all new bedding, pillows, and room decor! And have lunch at Tucanos!

I am in love with how cozy it is to just be in my room, and enjoy having a new kid free getaway for my man and I!

That afternoon we got the kids from school, and all had my favorite cupcakes (raspberry lemon) while watching a movie to relax! The prefect afternoon when you are pregnant!

Then I had a girls night with my mom and sisters!!

Mike took the next 2 days off to just spend time with me!

He did a good job spoiling me with lots of little things

like hidden notes, and weekly flowers all month!

Friday Night the kids had a play date, and Mike and I went out to celebrate valentines at my new favorite restaurant Emilio's! It was so romantic with our hidden table, and the food...oh the food!

For presidents day weekend we planned lots of fun for the kids with swimming, sleepovers, and love

Valentines morning the kids got some this is why we love you presents <3 nbsp="" p="">

Mike surprised Jenna and I with candy and flowers,
and the kids made valentines for the people they love!

That afternoon we made cookies for all our neighbors and took a walk to deliver them!

Then the kids got an early bedtime with movies, so dad and mom could exchange valentines ;)

Presidents Day we took the kids to Hyde park for one of our favorite traditions of hiking, playing at the park, and walking to get ice cream!

That week James got to go to lunch with Auntie Sara and I, so my surro husband could have some spoil me time lol... turns out James will sit still for hours as long as there is fries :)

Mike got his acceptance letter for the college is wanting to get his next degree!

Thank you Jesus for Tuition Assistance making it possible for my husband to be getting degree #3 for free, and for me getting to marry such a smart man ;)

The weekend of the 19th Mike and I spent alone celebrating 7 years together!

It truly was the most amazing weekend we have had in awhile,

and I feel so lucky to be this in love with him!

We finished off the month with Jenna's last basketball game then a family day with lunch, shopping, and family movie night.

Mike got me one last Jacquary Bouquet and special snack to end my month!!

I am now looking forward to spring and Easter, but thankful beyond words I get to spend all the future seasons and holidays with such a giving man and our kids!

Thing 3 is 18 Months Old!

Time flies when you are being cute!

Height/Weight: James is weighing in at 28 lbs

Routine: We have a pretty flexible day to day routine seeing we have different activities most mornings.

I am so thankful that I get to spend my

days doing day to day life with this smile!

Sleeping: James had moved from a short morning and short afternoon nap to just one long afternoon nap usually from about 1-3. Bed time is still 8:30. If we put him in bed with us when he wakes up he'll sleep for another hour or so which is great on the weekends! He also loves cuddling in brother and sisters beds ;)

Eating/Feeding: At this point little man can eat about anything. He prefers fruits and veggies to meat, and loves yogurt and cheese.

Sizes: He is wearing 24 month clothing and size 6 shoes. We feel so blessed that even 18 months in we have yet to buy him any clothing (other than a few seasonal things we wanted to)! Yay for great friends and family!

However he prefers to be naked, and will strip down any chance he gets!

But if he is wearing clothing he now requires a cape lol

Milestones:
James is a little Talker! He can clearly say about 10 words and is working on about 20 others!
He knows most body parts when asked, and will make animal noises when he sees pictures of them or is asked (his favorite is anything that says Roar)

James loves water! Bath time and swimming lessons are his favorite times of day!

He loves shoes, and will put on any he gets his hands on :)

And loves hide and seek (even though he isn't as good at hiding as he thinks)

And he is getting super brave!

Hi! I missed you ;)

Ok, so it has been forever since I have updated!

I keep having people ask why I stopped, and I don't really know.

I was so very tired a lot of my 1st trimester, and with Mike deployed for part of it then the holidays I just forgot about things like sewing, and blogging, and just extra stuff.

But with things calming down and pregnancy being easy again

I decided it is time to get back to Hobbies :)

Here is a recap of what has been going on for the Reece Family since my last post:
