My three Valentines

Since our anniversary is Feb. 16th, we like to devote Valentines Day to our kiddos. I love to shower them with love! This year we took the first 14 days of February and talked about the 1 Cor. verse on love. Each night they would pick a heart that had one part of the verse (ex. love is kind, love is not self-seeking etc,) and we would talk about what that meant and how we can use it in real life. I think they caught on and I look forward to doing it more each year as they can really understand what true love means.

We also had cute shirts as always (thanks again to my aunt Mindy!) Presents (thank you Oma), candy and fun heart pizzas (Devin and I had fondue :)).

Kaya and Kasen both had Valentine parties at school.






















And this is Kaya's art show. Her art teacher did the face painting and I think it is so cute!! I think Kasen really thought he turned into spider man that night :)

Major Catch Up!

So, clearly I have not gone private. I haven't given my blog much thought lately. Being a mom of three has most definitely caught up to me! I am not sure how you with more then three keep up with things like this! Anyways, thought I would take the night to do a really long update on the last few months... so here it goes.

First off.. Thanksgiving! We spent it in Salt Lake, we stayed at Tina's house, we got there right after a big snow storm and the kids had a blast playing in the snow, really they had so much fun together. I love getting these 7 kids together!!!












My dad got married the day after Thanksgiving! It was a fun celebration and we love his new wife Kathy!!! They had the grand kids as there wedding party, they were so cute!










CHRISTMAS!... the highlight was Kasen's new motorcycle. He (and Kaya) love it and ride it surprisingly well.

Tracy, Dale, Gabe, Tonya and Drew slept over Christmas Eve (Oma and Papa came over that morning). It is so great to have both my sister's here!!!! Christmas with cousins is too much fun!
















And some fun we had over Christmas Break...
















Potty Training! Yay







Happy New Year!!

Going Private!

I have decided to go private on my blog due to some sketchy stories I have heard about people stealing pictures and presenting them as there own. so if you would like keep up with us, let me know your email and I will send you and invite via email when I go private. Thanks!!

Kaya's Glitzy Girl Day Spa Birthday Party
