Happy Love Day

I am enjoying this holiday a little more now that my kids are at the age where they have fun with it. I'm not one to go "all out" or spend alot of money on things, but I do like to be a little creative. This year, since it was a Saturday and we didn't have to rush to get Kenzie to school, I was able to make heart shaped pancakes for the kids. They thought that was pretty much the coolest thing. So for lunch I had to keep the momentum going and make their sandwiches the same! Its nice that they are so easily satisfied with those simple things. As for Valentine's Day in general, I like this holiday for one reason really (besides the yummy chocolate that comes with the card)......it makes me appreciate the many loves I have in my life. I love my husband, I love him for being my best friend, for being my children's playmate, for making my heart flip when he walks in the room, and for being my forever companion. Its nice to take a minute and remember why I love him, and think back to when we first fell in love. Love is a wonderful thing, and I'm so happy that I have that one person I couldn't live without.

snuggly little sleeper

There is just something irresistible about a sleeping baby. I find myself just sitting there watching him. If I had all the time in the world, I would just sit and watch him all day! I love taking advantage of these moments in life, cause I know they don't last very long!

Lovin on little brother

Gavin and Mackenzie just can't get enough of their little bro. They love to give a million kisses a day! I am so grateful that they love him, and Mackenzie is getting so much better about being careful with him. I am loving the fact that she is so grown up now, it nice to have that older helper.
