Playing Outside

Titan

Titan continues to be a LOT of work but a LOT of FUN! He has been such a furry gift. He just acts like one of the kids. I feel like I have 4. Last week I took him in for his 3 month check up and he weighs in at 33.6 pounds! I think we got a big one! So excited! He loves to run, chase balls, chase kids, chew on anything he can get his puppy teeth on, ugh. I am so looking forward to taking him on runs in the woods this summer! I think he is going to be a great running buddy. (above Anne is making some kind of dirt soup and Titan was the taste tester!)

Tea Party

Upward Awards Night

Molly is the last kid getting her trophy in this picture.

Tuesday night was the awards night for Upward Basketball. Molly was so thrilled! They did a great job. What a neat ministry to kids and families! Josh and I couldn't be more proud of all Molly learned this season. She was a defending machine and stole the ball better then anyone on the team. (well that's her mama's opinion) It was so fun. Way to go MOLLY!

Snow Day!

Today the girls had a snow day! It was a fun treat for all of us. The only thing I like about the snow is that I get to have all 3 of my kids home with me! =) It was gone by the afternoon (so glad!) but we had fun while it was here.

Little Red Hen Play

On Friday Molly's class did the Little Red Hen play. They did a great job. Molly was a moo cow! I guess Molly told the drama teacher that her nickname was Molly moo so she made sure Molly was a cow! =) She did a great job and it was fun to watch all the kids play their parts so well. Aunt Betsy and Sophia Grace came to see it too. It was a fun time. We are so proud of our Mol. She just continues to blow us away! So thankful for her!

After the play

It was fun getting some pictures after Molly's play. She is amazing!

The kids painted some pictures for me to hang in our entry way. They did great! Owen's is lightning McQueen Car going very fast so fast in fact that you cannot even see it!! Molly painted the beach. And Anne painted the beach at sunset. It is fun to see what they think of when you had them paints and a blank canvas. So creative and I love it! After working hard they needed a snack. =)

Happy Valentine's Day

I love Valentines day. It is full of so much fun. It was a wonderful day at our house. We started off with breakfast by candle light, and ended with Josh coming home for dinner to be with us. It was a blast of a day. So thankful I have a so many loves in my life.

Valentine's Tea Party

For the last 2 years I have had a Valentine's Day tea party with my kids and so we had one this year! It was fun to set at the table today with my kids and hear about the girls Valentine's parties at school. I love that this has turned into a tradition for us.

Valentine's Gifts

On Sunday afternoon we took the kids to build a bear workshop to let them pick out a stuffed animal for Valentines. We all had a great time. Molly picked out a blue bear, dressed her in a pink outfit with pink high heels. Her bear is named snowflake. Annie picked out a purple bear, dressed her in a blue dress with red sparkle shoes. Her name is Cinderella. Owen walked in and picked out his outfit first and could have cared less what the animal was but knew he wanted the lightning McQueen pj's. So after much looking he decided to have a monkey. He has carried this thing around now for 2 days. Will not put it down. =) It was a fun day.

more valentines

Titan got a green stuffed alligator and a new bone for his valentine's gifts. As you can see he enjoyed it. We had a wonderful day full of red, pink, hearts and lots of love!

Father/Daughter Valentine's Dance

Tonight was the Father/Daughter Valentine's Dance at our church. Molly and Anne were so thrilled to have a night with Josh. So excited about their big date with Daddy. I had fun helping them do their hair and a little makeup and then put on their pretty dresses. Josh had pink roses for them. Owen and I had a fun night reading books and cuddling. Although I will say he sooo badly wanted to go with Josh and the girls. =) We have been blessed with wonderful little ladies that are pretty from the inside out! Girls thank you for bringing so much joy to our lives.
