Valentine's Day . . .

This Valentine's has been one of the best! Kevin surprised me on Feb. 12 with the most amazing and beautiful pink red and white exotic flowers. He knows how to win my heart with flowers. He also came home with a big bouquet of Valentine balloons and a big kiss to go with it. Kevin is always thinking and doing fun things for me. He is my #1 sweetheart. We went out to dinner at Applebee's and luckily we beat the Valentine crowd. We had a great time hanging out and talking about our past Valentine's that we have spent together. I love you Kev!

Me and Priscilla Savannah and BrooklynThe Cute Girly's

Well we flew out on Wednesday night to come and visit the cousins down in Texas. We have been having such a great time down here! Yesterday they took us to Queen B's and let all the girls get there hair done all funky, and nails, and make up done too. They thought it was way fun!! Then we took the kids to Tokyo to eat. I will be putting more pictures on when we get back home, but here are a few for now.

Bad Blogger . . .

Well I know that i haven't posted in awhile and I'm really sorry! We have been so busy these last couple of weeks. We had a bunch of parties for Kevin's parents since they left to go on there mission. We had there farewell last Sunday and they did a really great job. We sure are gonna miss them a ton!! They left on Saturday, to go to San Francisco. They're going to do great and can't wait to see them when they get back. So again I'm sorry I haven't posted in awhile but sometime this week I'm going to post what we have been up too.

Christmas . . .

We had a great Christmas this year. On Christmas Eve we took the kids to Maddox for dinner and then came back and relaxed the rest of the night. Christmas day the kids opened there presents, and we went up to Kevin's parents house for Lunch. We attended some fun Christmas parties this year and look forward to them each year. I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. Happy New Year!

Last week we invited the Trease family (whitney's best friends family) over to decorate gingerbread houses. We had a really great time! We haven't ever gotten together with them before and whitney and her friend sierra have been friends since kindergarten, so it was fun to have them come over. We played lots of games, decorated gingerbread houses, and ate.

The Appleseed is FINALLY gone . . .

Waiting Patiently
I'm still waiting The appleseed ear I'm so scared Luke starting to cryWe got it!! Here it is Mom rewarded Luke with an ice cream cone from McDonald's

Two weeks ago Luke came home from grandma Collette's house and told me that he had put an appleseed in his left ear. I looked in his ear and yep there it was. I tried to get it out but it went deeper in his ear. On Saturday Luke started complaining that his left ear was hurting so finally today I took him to his ear doctor. Dr. M located the appleseed and tried to get it out, but it was inside his ear pretty good. So Luke had to lay down on the office bed and Dr. M had to use a microscope to find it again. The nurse and I had to hold Luke real still. Dr. M went inside his ear with a really long sharp tool and guess what . . . he pulled out a large, brown appleseed. Dr. M thought it was a watermelon seed. Luke cried a little bit, but he was a trooper and mom was so proud of him! I took pictures before and after of Luke and the appleseed. What an adventure! Luke loves to get into everything.

Two months ago Luke stuffed a big wad of bubblegum up his nose, so lucky me, I had to go after it. Lets put it this way, it was not a small piece of bubblegum. The gum was very StReTcHy!! -------------------

Christmas Tree Tag . . .

My friend Carly tagged me with the "christmas tree tag" so here's our christmas trees. The first one is our family christmas tree. Each year the kids get to pick out there own ornaments at the store and put them on the tree. We have been doing this ever since Whitney and Allie were little. The kids look forward to it every year. Now our tree is full of cute ornaments!

Whitney's twilight christmas tree

One of the ornaments on her tree

This is Whitney's Twilight Christmas tree that she has in her room. She loved the movie Twilight so much that she decided to make a twilight tree. It turned out pretty cute! Who would've thought of that idea. I wouldn't have. She sure is creative.
