A Wonderfully Busy Week!

Last week was one busy week!! Monday was gymnastics, which Elizabeth just loves more and more every week! Tuesday was swimming lessons, Wednesday Elizabeth get to go to a special gymnastics class, it's in the afternoon but it's worth the extra trip with how well she's doing! Thursday was swimming lessons again, then Friday my brother came over to watch the kids for us(which Elizabeth absolutely loved!!) my parents picked me up and we met Tony and the Expo Center for the RV Show. It was such a great night out. We of course found several trailers we really liked, some of which we couldn't even pull and all of which we can't afford! But it was fun to look and dream of someday! Afterward we went to dinner with my parents at Joe's Crab Shack, YUMMY! Saturday Ketty took the kids for us and we went to Desert Star...which was absolutely HILARIOUS!! Then we had our "Valentine's" dinner at Olive Garden(thanks to Eric and Jen for the gift card from Christmas). Dinner was delicious! We really enjoyed it! Then we hit up Carter's BOGO free sale and picked up some summer stuff to give to Devin for his birthday(which is in a week and a half!! Can you believe it?!) Then just for fun we wandered The Children's Place and found the perfect Bunny Day outfit for Elizabeth....complete with a cute hat! for super cheap thanks to a great sale they had going on. It was another great night! Sunday after church and a nice big late lunch Tony and Elizabeth went out and played in the fresh snow, then we went to our niece Keira's 2nd birthday party! And her first birthday party as such a special part of our family! She seemed to have a really good time! We of course forgot our camera once again so you don't get to see Devin wearing a tiara and holding a princess wand, but believe me IT...WAS...PRICELESS!!! And thus ended our wonderfully busy week!! Enjoy the pics!

A Super Fun Valentine's Day!!

Yesterday was a super fun filled Valentine's Day! We started with heart shaped pancakes for breakfast(thanks to Tony who made them Sunday)! Then we of course had to get right to the presents! Devin got his first(Elizabeth needs all the practice waiting her turn as she can get!) He got some little toys, a stuffed puppy friend and a yummy treat! Then it was Elizabeth's turn! She also got the same as Devin with the addition of a coloring book and a My Little Pony Valentine's Day book! (we got all the toys last year on clearance, and I'm going tonight to get next years stuff for 50% off!) They both loved their little present and played with the toys for quite a while. Then I put Devin down for his nap and Elizabeth and I started our fun projects and games! For lunch Elizabeth had a heart shaped sandwich on a Valentine's plate! She watched Barney's Valentine's Day Party(thanks to Netflix). Then she was off to quiet time! Afterward while Devin was down for his afternoon nap, we frosted and decorated heart shaped cookies(we made on Sunday as well) and had some for snack! Oh they're so yummy! After swimming lessons, we stopped by and got a heart shaped pizza for dinner! Tony got me a funny card with the sweetest message in it! And on Sunday he brought me a heart shaped pancake breakfast in bed!! It was a great Valentines Day!!!
