Happy Valentines Day

February turned out to be a busy month in our family with two birthdays, Valentines, and our anniversary it seemed like a party every other day. I just wanted to share this amazing idea that my sister-in-law Tiffany gave me last year. I bought a ton of foam Valentine hearts and wrote a little note one each one of them to my 3 boys. Chip and I hung them from their bedroom ceilings late at night when they were sleeping. When they woke up the next morning they read all of the things that we love about them. It felt like bringing a little bit of the Christmas into Valentines without the presents just the love. I highly suggest it for next year. My kids loved it- thanks TIffany!!

London Turned One

I can't believe my baby turned one. How on earth did it go by so fast? I guess that is why we are told to enjoy each season and that is something I have really tried hard to do. I love that my baby girl giggles and plays peek-a-boo games with me and tries to run away from her older brothers but ends up tripping like a drunkin sailor. I do love each stage but I never thought one could be so sad and say goodbye to the baby years. I guess the one thing going is that she is only 17 lbs so I can still pretend she is my baby. ;-)

Monster Truck Party

Are you ready to RUMBLE??? That's what I though when 17 little people came through the door for Wyatt's 4 year old birthday party in February. He is really into Monster Trucks so we had a blast racing trucks, hitting truck pinyata's, playing musical trucks, and eating yummy treats. I think he loved it.
I just have to let everyone know that 4 is going to be our year. I have written about many Wyatt stories that were funny and terrifying experiences and some of them were just too painful to write about but I have this feeling that this is going to be our year. I can already see a big change from the old Wyatt who used to eat other people's hot dogs while waiting in line at Costco to the Wyatt who just thinks about eating it but knows better now. He is such a fun kid with so much energy and excitement for life. He really does make my life fun because of his happiness and sense of adventure. As long as the adventure doesn't mean bringing live snakes into our house or gluing crayons to the floor! I love you Wyatt and happy birthday!




This is our home aide Monster Truck that Chip and I made. Next time we are leaving it up to the bakery.
