Another Crazy Couple Months

February started with Matthew starting to potty train. Here is a picture of him taking a ride on the potty train (Toot, Toot). I guess being on the potty makes one want a good smelling candle. :)


On the 17th was Matthew's birthday. We had Grandma Smith, Grandpa Smith, Hillary, Dan, Ashliegh, and Lilly over for a party. Matthew choose the menu: hot dogs and chocolate cake with Mickey Mouse.

During this time, we had a RSV outbreak. It began with Jacob the week before Matthew's birthday. Then, Matthew got it for his birthday. Finally, Madison got it a few days after Matthew. All in all, we went to the emergency room three times and the doctor's office numerous times. All in all it looks like this year is beginning like the last year ended with us spending way too much time with doctors. Currently, they are all doing better. At the end of February, Jacob lost another tooth. He went to school with all his teeth and came home with one around his neck. No, he did not get in a fight. He pulled his loose tooth out during PE. I guess PE is really exciting. :)


Just as we finished santizing our house, we welcomed Grandma Planck, Denielle, and Ryan. We had lots of fun with them. Ryan became like another brother for Matthew, Jacob, and Madison. Throughout the whole visit, he called Madison the "Pretty Baby".


After our visitors left, Madison decided it was time to crawl. I guess seeing all the boys running around for the past week was motivation.
