HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

I was in charge of Isaac's valentine party at school. We played an intense game of BINGO.
Andy gave this to me this morning.
We made paper roses for our neighbor.
I have to first admit I cringe at gushy romance, jewlery commercials make me want to come out of my skin but I do love having valentines day with my family. Any holiday that usually consists of going out to dinner can't be half bad. The kids get so excited with all the festivities and I love spoiling them. Andy suprised me this morning with a wonerful present that I was not at all expecting, it was very thoughtful of him and beautiful, thanks Andy!

MORE SLEEPY KIDS

Ava kept snuggling up to sleeping Addie.

THE PRINCESS & THE PEA

As some of you know, we are very laid back about sleep around here. If our kids are feeling sleepy they'll usually find somewhere to drop and take a nap but I hadn't seen this one before. I found Addie sound asleep in the middle of kids running around wild on her chair. She looked pretty comfortable!

HEALTHY LIVING...I HOPE!


So Andy asked me today if I was busy tomarrow around 5:00. Quickly jumping to conclusions I start thinking of all the wonderful suprises my great husband has come up with, dinner without the kids, an hour massage at the spa, the ideas were pouring in. So of course even if I did have plans I was about to cancel them, so, no plans, why? He then informs me that he'll pick me up right before five so we can go to the medical center and get weighed, blood pressure taken, consultation and other tests that I can't remember since I was still waiting for him to mention something about taking me out to dinner. Here's the thing, Andy has been on this healthy living kick for a few weeks now which I am very supportive of as long as it doesn't interfere with what I want to eat and do. So far it has been great, Andy eats carrots after the kids are in bed, I eat ice cream. I don't see a problem. Now he would like us to both get on board with this and be a more healthy couple, you know, grow old together. Since I couldn't come up with an excuse of why I should keep clogging my arteries, I agreed to go. I got off the phone and started to think of how great this could be for us, but then I started to really think of how this could be....no more coke!? Anyone who knows me knows how much I love my coke. It is my reward each day usually around 3:00, its my afternoon coffee, it is how I survive my day. So I must have gone into panic mode because I later found myself endulging on cream puffs and a coke. This might be harder than I think. I sure hope I can do this because when it comes down to it, I really do have a huge crush on Andy and I really do want to grow old with him. So wish me luck...here I go (at least, not until exactly 5:00 tomarrow!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!


Christian a year ago, on his baptism day




Today Christian turned 9 years old. It has been so fun to watch him grow up, we are so proud of him! Today for his birthday we all went bowling and then met up with Grandma and Grandpa Z to go to Gringos then we all went back to our house to decorate cupcakes. It became more interesting when Andy started decorating all of the kids faces instead! Christian got a new bike for his birthday, too bad there won't be any sidewalks for a few more months.
We love you Christian, we are so grateful to have you in our family!!!!
