The Niederhauser Chronicles: Misc February

This pictures all got loaded backwards and it would be WAY too much of a pain to reverse them. So...just know that looking through and I will realize that despite it making me anxious and annoyed - it actually doesn't matter, AT ALL :)

Picture of Bogey taken probably by Greta. Maybe Lottie. Hard to say. But his little face looks so cute.

Harvey and Crew got invited to a friend, Cash's birthday party at Urban Air. He was so excited when he first got the invitation. Went skiing that morning and then decided he did NOT want to go. There's a handful of boys that are kind of turds in his class and some that he says are mean etc. So I went with him to help ease the anxiety about it and then he ran around like a spaz and had a ton of fun!

One of the books he got from his school library was about turtles. At the end it talked about protection etc and how some people steal eggs and mess up nests, etc. He was outraged and said he had to write a letter to the president. We might try to make it a little nicer before we send it but I thought it was cute!

And this thing is cute too.

And DEFINITELY this thing!

One of the days we had an open house we went to Urban Air to kill time. I felt bad because we've been so busy with the house, etc. We all kind of started out grumpy there but all ended up having a fun time and it was a good outlet for everyone. Except Harvey had a headache and was bawling on the way home with how much it hurt and then barfed in the car as we were supposed to be dropping the kids off to play so we could go meet with our contractors. Yikes. But something really cool happened while we were there. I had a sweatshirt or something on that wasn't a secure pocket for phone holding. We had been there almost a couple of hours and had been jumping in and out of the ball pit. That was our favorite place. I was trying to make it across some of the obstacles and then I'd jump back in. Well then Lottie had to go to the bathroom and so I went to take her and when we came out of the bathroom I didn't have my phone. I was SURE I had walked into the bathroom with it (obviously not) but it wasn't there. I kind of started panicking. I had been ALL over the ball pit before that and assumed it was in the ball pit, but WHERE!?!? I started in the place we spent the most amount of time. Digging down, trying to sweep the bottom with my hands and feet. Back and forth. People looking at me weird. Getting desperate. I ducked down and said a pretty desperate plea of a prayer. Kept shuffling. Kicked something with my foot, just a squished ball. Two more steps feel something else. Reach down and it was my phone. TOTAL miracle answered prayer tender mercy. It was really really cool. And I was SOOOO grateful and made sure to tell God that.

Another bouncy fun Saturday with friends. I don't know who that other girl is. She just was there and decided to smile for the picture too.

We got to meet the newest cousin on Valentine's Day! He was born on the 13th. Harvey and Greta thought he was pretty awesome. Lottie didn't want much to do with him.

Babysitting while mom's birthing the new baby.

We went to the zoo a few days before Laura had her baby. Gosh it might have even been the day before. It was a fun day! A bit chilly but hardly ANYONE there and had such great animal viewing and activity.

We happened upon the training and treat giving for the seals and sea lions at theeee perfect time! It was AWESOME. Really the first time I've ever seen that with such a good view and no competition. The kids thought it was awesome. Harvey said he wanted to do that when he grows up.
