Happy Luv Day!!

Happy Valentines day to everyone!!! These are the presents the kids got for the special day. They all got a card, and the Alvin and the Chipmunks soundtrack. Brooklyn got the singing dragon from Hallmark. The boys each got a Webkinz. Kadens is the monkey and Jacksons is the lepard. He had just told me that last week that the lepard was his favorite animal, so it worked out perfectly that I found one! Jackson has a party at school and Kaden has a party at Daycare, so everyone is super excited. By the way I forgot to mention that Brooklyns first tooth came in on Monday night. She's growing up! Today she is 7 months old!!! Hope everyone has a fantastic Valentine's Day!!!

Ordinary Life

Not much going on this week......I was very excited to see the sun shining yesterday, I opened all my blinds, we even BBQd steaks on the grill for dinner! I'm so in need of Spring, but then I look out the windows today and it's SNOWING!!! What?!? Say it isn't so!!! Maybe it won't stay! I can only hope! I was looking forward to afternoons at the park with the boys....guess that will have to wait! We filled out the boys Valentines last night. Valentines was always one of my favorite holidays at school. I just loved opening every little card. I remember that I would keep them for a couple weeks after the party and look at them all the time. I hope my kids enjoy it just as much as I did! I got the kids presents last night. I'll post pictures with them tomorrow. Can't wait to see their little faces. Aren't presents great? Just a quick funny story from Sunday.....Jackson and sister and I went to Petco to get some dog food for Molly. They have a treat bar where you can pick out some treats for your pets to purchase. So I told him to go ahead and pick out a some treats for her. He especially liked the way that these cookies for dogs looked, they even had creme filling. So sure put it in the bag and we'll get it. So we purchased a sack of treats and took them home to her. When we got there I let him give her one, but only one and put the rest away. About an hour later I went looking for the treats, couldn't find them any where.....Asked Jackson where's the treats? In his hand he had something as well as some crumbs on his cheek....after asking him what he had he pulls his hand within sight.....its the dog cookie with creme filling.......Are you kidding me? But it's really good mom.....Right.....

All Dressed Up

These are a couple pictures from Booklyn all dressed up for church today. Thanks Susie for the dress!!! This weekend was slow and easy. I had to work yesterday. Today was pizza for lunch after church. Jackson has been playing Harvest Moon on the gamecube most of the day. Kaden is just running around like a mad man snacking on anything he can!! That kid likes to eat! The sun is shining today, maybe we'll take a walk later. Most of our snow has melted off. Molly will actually go outside now cause our grass is showing now! Hope everyone has a great first of the week!

Two in One Day!!

Wow!! Two entries on the same day! I'm pretty impressed with myself! I survived the trip to the grocery store and Walmart amazingly enough for those of you that were wondering!! I wanted to post the new pictures of Brooklyn that I had taken a few weeks ago. I just got them today, so I thought I'd share a few of the favorites. Easier then sending one to everyone.......

This one is my favorite................

Dr. Day.....

Yesterday was a windy cold day! We only left the house in the morning to run to the Drs office for Brooklyn and Kaden. They are both doing fabulous! Yesterday was little rough due to shots though! I seriously contemplated putting my head in the toilet and flushing so I wouldn't have to listen to Kaden crying anymore! He cried for an hour straight about his owie leg!!! Death by three year old is what the headline would read!! Kaden weighs 38 lbs now and Brooklyn weighs 20 lbs and is 27 inches long. Guess I better come up with another car seat for her. I'm just not sure how to squish in a bigger seat to our little car! We better start shopping for a new vehicle. Let me tell you how excited I am for another car payment! HA! Well, today is grocery store day..Yippee!! Nothing like shopping with 2 kids, but I just don't think I can put it off any longer! We'll be eating cereal 3 meals a day if I don't.........

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr

Our poor rat terrier Molly just HATES the snow!! I opened the front door this morning to let her out and she popped her head out the door and promptly turned around to come back in the house! I finally coaxed her outside, thankfully! Its snowing here today and supposed to continue through tomorrow. Tonight we have swim lessons. The boys are just loving it and I'm just loving that they fall into bed and go right to sleep after! I'll post some pictures if I can sneak in tonight and snap some. The rec center has some nazi rule about parents staying in the room behind the glass, but I'll see if I can get in. Hope everyone is staying warm in this chilly weather!

Pics by Grandma

We went to Blackfoot today and spent the afternoon with Kassandra, Paxton, Tessa, and Grandma. I had to see some patients in Blackfoot tonight at bedtime, so we went up early to have pictures taken and eat dinner wtih them at Rupe's. Rupe's is a burger joint a la 50s so the kids always enjoy it! Plus the adults love the killer burgers, so everyone walks away happy!

The kids did great smiling. We even got a rare shot of Brooklyn sort of smiling. She's a pretty stoic kid, so to catch a grin is good! This is a picture of her in a dress that my mom wore when she was about this age.

Those brothers just love baby sister! We all think she's pretty great! Our gift from above.......

A rare moment when all the kids are sitting still and looking at the camera (sort of)...... There is never a dull moment when you get all five of these kidos together. Someone is usually always crying, or screaming, or yelling, or fighting, but it's such a great blessing that we can live so close by that the kids can grow up together. Built in best friends I say........
