We had a good week last week. On the 13th we went to our ward’s scout banquet. I didn’t have to make anything they just fed us dinner, the priests actually made it and they did a great job! We had dutch-oven beef stew with potatoes and carrots, rolls and salad. For dessert they had dutch-oven peach cobbler, and a cheery chocolate cobbler with ice cream- yummy! – I was so excited to NOT have to cook dinner. Ray had to conduct the meeting, so that meant I sat alone with the three kids. Kara is obsessed with running around in the halls at the church (she also loves to do this during church) so she did NOT want to stay in the cultural hall where we were eating. Trent, who normally will eat most things, did not want anything but rolls (great dinner for him = 3 rolls with butter – that’s nutritional) Then they had the program, it got to be quite lengthy, then the reason we went arrived, Ray received his Wood badge beads. I tried to take pictures and Kara wanted to go up front to be with Ray so that didn’t help, and the boys kept walking in front on everyone while the presentation was going on, it was kind of a fiasco! The lighting was HORRIBLE at the church I had the flash on but because I zoomed in this is the best one I got - grrr! After he got his beads and sang the Gilwell song it was around 8 pm (it started at 6:30) and it still wasn’t over. Ray excused those "who needed to go" and so we came home. My title is for those who know the Gilwell song - see this about Ticket.
The next day was valentines. Ray got me flowers – what a wonderful husband! I made a little scavenger hunt for the kids and hid a little gift at the end (under the kitchen sink) along with presents and cards from the grandparents. I think the kids had fun. Trent had his valentine’s party at school and Tyler had his the day before. They both had fun exchanging valentines. I am not sure why I didn't take pictures - dang!
Kara had her 15 month well baby visit this week. For some reason she FREAKED out when the nurse tried to measure her head and length. Then when the doctor came in she didn’t want him touching her either and just fought to get off the table, you would think he pinched her the way she was screaming. Then the most lovely part of the visit, the three shots. She
wouldn’t hold still to even get her legs cleaned with alcohol, so I held her arms and the nurse held her legs and gave them to her, so sad! The nurse commented that she sure was strong – Kara is still super small, in the 2% for weight, that girl will not eat. On a brighter note she is understanding more each day. She can give kisses, it is so cute! I tell her to kiss her baby doll and she does. She can say ball, bye-bye and ba-ba (for bottle) not that she drinks from a bottle (at this point I wish she did) but she holds up her fake one to feed her baby and says "ba–ba" – it is cute. She also is finally getting some more teeth, you can see her 4 teeth kind of in this picture.

that picture of Kara is so cute!
Wow, look at those teeth. It's been forever since we've seen you.
That is adorable of Kara! It's amazing how fast they grow. Levi recently must feed himself- if I try, it's a no-go. But give him the spoon and he it's it all... Love the scavenger hunt idea. I think I'll do that next year!
I love Kara's time out chair. She looks so sweet and probably doesn't need to use it as a time out chair. I used to have one for the boys. But they jumped on it and broke it with in the 1st week we had it.
