Happy Valentine's Day!




We love holidays! Valentine's Day is no exception... The boys had fun at their class parties on Friday and then they got to be with some of their best friends, Lauren, Nicole ,and Miss Jenna, that night for pizza, play, and "Space Buddies"! Tom and I got to go to Scott and Karen's with two other couples from our small group to have a early Valentine's celebration! Karen outdid herself with a fabulous meal and ambiance that made us all feel like we were eating at a 5 star restaurant! Then we went up to the movie room and watched "Fireproof"! I cried just as hard the 2nd time around. What a wonderful movie and special time with our friends!

On Valentine's Day we celebrated with one of our favorite 3 year olds, Grace, at her BEE day party! Always so much fun to be with friends. Then we were going to spend the day outside, but it rained ALL day... so Tom and the boys made hand made cards and a quick trip to the store and came in with balloons and roses! Everyone got fun gifts and we spent the day doing Dance Dance Revolution, watching Bibleman, and driving through Chick-fil-A for dinner. Tom and I ended the night with a movie. What a fun weekend! :)

"God is love." 1 John 4:19

They've captured my heart...





God's blessings are many... here are three of mine! :)

Look What We Made for Dinner!

What a treat to make these cute snowmen for dinner the other night. Healthy, yet fun!
All you need is a skewer, bananas, grapes, apples, corrots, pretzels, and chocolate chips!

An artist in the making...


Colton loves his Magnadoodle! He likes to draw a picture and surprise us with it and then we draw a picture to surprise him. So cute! He drew a snowman on his own! Quite impressive for a 3 year old! :) We also got out the paints the other day (something I should do more often) and he loved it! The simple pleasures in life are worth a lot! :)

Pinewood Derby Race!





Andrew and Tom had fun designing, shopping, and making Andrew's Pinewood Derby car for Cub Scouts again this year! Boy they sure did learn a lot from last year... Last year Andrew's car never beat another car in any race. But this year Andrew's car took 1st in about 5 races! He was so excited! He also took 2nd place for Most Original looking car. What a fun morning at the races!

I love my boys!

I love my boys! They are each so different, but yet they favor each other by the way they look. I love their uniqueness and how God blessed them with amazing minds and specials quirks. I am enjoying watching them grow up. I don't want them to grow up... but I am enjoying it. Lots of times I get frustrated and so angry with them... but it is because I love them so much and want the very best for them and want them to grow up to be Godly men.

My heart is just full of love for them! :)

This one's for you Cass...





One of our family goals this year is to get me to laugh more... So, my sister, Cassie tried her hand at it. She always likes to take silly pics of us. They are all pretty funny except the group shot... that is pretty darn good of my sister and me with our boys! :) Love you, Cass!
