Our Anniversary, Valentines!

Five years, two beautiful daughters, our first home, and so many wonderful experiences together! So lucky to be his for an eternity!

We forgot to take pictures of us on our date. The night was fun, Chad surprised me with tickets to see "O" at the Bellagio. Dinner before the show and a beautiful flower arrangement.

Valentines!

This year was super fun but low key.

I did the 12 days of Valentines for Chad - with fun little prizes each day.

He was so sweet and got Brynlyn and I flowers and cards.

Brynlyn was super cute about her flowers. She continually looked at them and said to grandma " I thought I was to little to get my own flowers, Wow."

After a yummy Valentines dinner with my parents I made a special treat.
Edible Chocolate ice cream bowls, they turned out great and everyone enjoyed them.
It was so great to have my parents visit and watch the kids while we had a night out.

LIttle Chef's

Aubrey and I took the kiddo's to Little Pastry Chefs this week. We made our own Pizza for lunch then decorated Valentine cookies for the dad's.

It was a fun little "play day" as Brynlyn called it.

It was nice to get out with the kids and enjoy some time with Aubrey.

New favorite activity

If we can't find our little Brynlyn... just look in the guest room! She is a TV fanatic! I have to lock her out of the guest room to keep her away from the only tv she can turn on.

I don't mind sometimes, because the house gets so quite and I get more done.

BuT... if she watches to much, we have a very cranky girl on our hands!!!

Fun with my parents

Grandma made these very soft, extra cute pj's for the girls!

A special thank you to my parents for all their help with the girls last weekend. I think I would have sat down and cried if they had not been there to help clean the throw up out of the car seat and unpack my car so we could clean and try to leave town for the second time.

We had a great time, even with two sick munchkins to take care of!

Chad didn't get pictures of his weekend at Supercross with the guys! I ended up with both cameras and hardly took pictures.

Sometimes the craziest memories are the best!

Road rash

Road rash happens when Brynlyn is acting silly, skipping and making her sister laugh.

Thankfully Grampy & Grammy were home and came to the rescue.

Brynlyn was a great patient as doctor mom scrubbed all the asphalt from her face.

She is pretty swollen, but proud of her cool scars!

Wake up mom

A Funny way to start my new year...

I Woke up to a box of corn pops, soggy cereal in my mouth and my 3 year old in bed next to me saying "Good morning mom I'm feeding you breakfast in bed. I found Mickey Mouse on TV, I love you". Then she kissed my head! :)

I still laugh each time I think about it!

Christmas Morning.

Our Christmas tree in our new home!

Chad is telling us the Christmas story before we can see what Santa Clause has brought!

Brynlyn was so excited to see that Santa had eaten almost all the cookies, and left our magic key on her new desk! She squealed and said "I have an awesome desk just for me like moms". At our house we don't have a chimney for Santa to come down. But we have a magic Santa Key on our tree that lets him come in.

Girls with Chad the dad and Brynlyn's new life size doll.Playing with her twin dolls that interact with each other.

After opening most of our gifts at home it was time to go visit family!

First stop was Grandpa & Grandma Greats. The kids have so much fun checking out the family stocking to see what surprise is there.

Next it was time for a family picture.

Very tricky with so many little ones that just want to run, play and not smile!

We had to capture a picture of the 2 newest cousins in matching Christmas outfits!

Peyton 6 months & Emma 2 months

I love this cute smile! The oldest grandkids in new coats from Grandpy & Grammy.

After dinner with the family we headed home and got the kids in their pjs and finished opening Peyton's gifts.

She loves this mirror and all the fun buttons.

Brynlyn concentrating on her polly pockets clothes, and loving her new desk.

Thanx to Chad and Cooper spending many hours making the top for the cubes Santa brought!

The day after Christmas Grandpa & Grandma came to have Christmas with us.

They spoiled us with tons of gifts and fun.

We love having them stay with us.

Brynlyn took this picture with the remote to our camera!

I think she did a very good job.

We had so much fun this Christmas.

We hope your Holiday's were just as amazing as ours.
