Kyle's been gone all month :( So to keep from going home and feeling sorry for myself on the day he left I took the kids to the BYU Basketball Game! We spent the first half down with my parents in their awesome second row seats. We got an up-close look at all the players and the kids loved getting some personal attention from Cosmo. Mason spent 5 weeks straight in his Man-Man costume so of course he wore it to the game too. (just ignore the old guy yawning in the bottom of the pic, it was the only one I had with everyone looking my way)By half-time enough people had shown up that all six of us were squished into three seats. So we headed up to our ticketed seats in the tippy-top of the Marriot Center. The kids pretty much ignored the game from then on (it was really far away) but we had food so that kept us all happy.
This picture sums up Mason's life this past month or so really well. He wears his Man-Man costume and he eats as many pancakes as he can talk me into. The question I get all the time as he wears it everywhere but church (I had to draw the line somewhere) is "Can he even see out of that thing?" The answer is no. But it really doesn't seem to bother him so I just pull it up every time I walk past him and keep him away from busy streets. I don't let him wear it to bed either but he sleeps with it wrapped in his arms under his covers. I think he likes to keep it close in case of emergency. You never know when the world will need saving.

Our biggest news this month is a new baby!!!! No it's not ours. Jeff and Alisha welcomed #4 on February 10. He is a darling, beefy little guy (weighed in at 8 lbs. 13 oz.) named Logan R Young. We skipped school that morning and hurried off to the hospital to meet him.

Hallie especially coudn't get enough of holding him. She's going to be such a great helper when our own #4 comes along!

Hallie is such a cute little scientist. She figured out how to Google the other day and I found her upstairs Googling animals in China for the animal journal that she was making.

I am just kicking myself because I only got 1 picture of the most exciting thing we had happen all month. On Valentines Day Daddy came home!!!!! He stayed for three days and we loved spending all that time together as a family. He brought home little stuffed honu's (sea turtles) for the kids. They got right into their swimsuits so that they could go swim with their new toys. There is nothing like having to spend time apart to help us appreciate how much we love to be together.

This one I tacked on just cause it's cute. I went in to check on the kids and found Mason on the floor snuggled up to his Sully.
