February has come and nearly gone ... already!!!

 I went out of my comfort zone and sewed some dolly nighties without a pattern to match the girls nighties that I had sewn this fall, craftiness is not my thing generally. But the girls were thrilled to get their dollies matching them!
 Frosty did not come to life but you should have seen the kids all dancing around him and singing the song! The kids on the left are the kids best friends. Roman was napping, but he loved seeing Frosty when he woke up!
 Speaking of Roman, he turned three this month, sharing a birthday with his Grandma Jean, who did not turn three! Here is his stegosaurus cake!
 A trip to the prairies for Family day had the kids traveling down snow banks on some sleds with Uncle Vern and Duke who Roman always mixes up with Salty, my parents dog. It was stinking freezing!!
 Here is Roman and his new bike we got him for his birthday! Red, just like his daddy's first bike
 Here are King Roman and Princess Ellianea, or however Tatum wanted to spell that name she made up for her regal self, they even made me bow down with my forehead to the ground! Roman insisted that I do it his way! Since he is the king what is a mother to do?
Chloe was reading her Bible story book today, slightly too close to the page, but I guess when you are starting out you need to keep track of where you are visually more closely... She is loving homeschooling and actually talks with 'pity' about those poor kids who have to spend all day at school when she is done in two hours most days! Hilarious... no offense to all you regular school people!!!

Welcome to the Third Edition

I seem to be having trouble accessing my Turners Unplugged Too site so let's just let bygones be bygones. I did just make my first post in over a year to the Turners Unplugged site so feel free to have a look at that one if you like. I will start by posting the January stuff from our life...

Joel celebrated his 36th birthday in January! The girls made him a tiny fondant covered cake with Chloe's new cake maker. It was a nice night, we had Dwilah over and ate yummy food on the new hot rock, delish!

I also celebrated my birthday on the 22nd amidst a nasty cold, but Joel and I went out for dinner anyway, it was pretty good despite how I felt. So now I am 37 and the impending decade change is looming over me with greater ferocity than ever... though I hear that its not that bad from some dear friends and family.

Not sure if you all are aware, but if not, we are expecting baby number 4 July 4th. We are not finding out the gender in case you are wondering! Here is a photo of the bump taken late January...
We need to move into February next time I blog so stay tuned!!! I hope to have some more photos up soon.
