Happy V Day and a new addition to our family


We have a new addition to our fam and I didn't even have to be pregnant! Soap was given to us by a friend of a friend. He's name was Sophia until they found out he wasn't a girl, and shortened his name to Soap. He's so affectionate! I've never had a bird nuzzle up to me, but Soap does it to all of us. He loves the kids and doesn't mind all the attention they are giving him. So, we talked Nate into a pet, and it's so fun!


The snow keeps falling! Today it fell a bunch more, and this snow fort is now buried under another foot of snow. I have to go out and find Nate and beg him to come do something else because the kids all came in before him and are whining at me. He loves being outside in the snow working on the snowfort (almost mansion now) or the sledding hill (almost mountain now).



These two pictures say it all. Happy Valentine's Day! Love, the Blaines

Awww...so cute!

Soap...what a funny name for a birdie! I have to say, birds scare me a little bit, I'm always worried they are going to peck my eye out. =)

Happy Birthday to Nate! Hope it's a happy and fun day for everyone!

What kind of bird is Soap? Any idea how old he is? Good for the Blaine Gang! Everyone owns a pet now except us! Or do chickens count????
