Happy Valentines Day

I know many (men in particular) don't especially like this holidayb/c they feel like its way too commercial and you are forced into doing things. I think it's just fun to have a day set aside to show your love:)

My husband normally doesn't do the flower thing (b/c our cat tries to eat them), but this morning I had these pretty ones waiting for me when I woke up and a very cute card.
Much like a man at church said on Sunday morning...nothing says I love you like an action figure. Christian recieved a new Planet Hero. Zip is from Mercury and goes super fast just like his planet
Baylor on the other hand has a sweet new Minnie Mouse book and bottles for her babies.
I had to include these pictures of our diva in residence...she cracks us up all the time. She sat all through dinner with her sunglasses :)

Super night with friends

We had thr troups and greens over to watch the Super Bowl a few weeks ago. Jeff made chili, fries and hot dogs. We had all the fixins and our spread of oh so yummy dips. Caroline and Christian were having a picnic (We missed having fun with Caitlyn b/c she was sick)

Avery and Baylor always have plenty of fun when they're together

Christian was so tired by the end of the night...he passed out right on the couch

The surgery went well today...even better than the doctor expected which is great news. Papa will stay in the hospital for three days and then be sent home:)

Prayers

My Mom's family needs prayers...her step-dad is going into surgery on Tuesday morning to install an artificial vein in his leg. He has next to no circulation anymore and has no real usable veins of his own (he has already had two double bypass surgeries). The doctor says they have to get him in & out of surgery as fast as they can b/c they're not sure how much his heart can take.

He sounded pretty upbeat when I talked to him this morning, but we are all unsure of what could happen. There is always the possibility that he will not survive the surgery or it just won't work. If that is the case they said the only other option is aputation.

Please pray for him and my grandmother, there names are Lawrence and Kathleen Wells, and for my parents as they travel up to KY to be there for the surgery.

Happy Birthday KayKay

Last Monday was my mom's birthday and we decided to meet Mim and Travis in Birmingham over the weekend to celebrate.
Christian loved riding the rocket
We spent our time walking around a big mall, eating, getting a back and shoulder massage (me and KayKay, anyway) and visiting
Baylor thought it was funny when Mim pushed her stroller b/c she did all sorts of funny moves

Happy Birthday KayKay--part II

A ride on the carosel and an ICEE...what fun
Mim made Mom special little pies for the celebration. We love to make something we call Cherry Delight Pie and Mim found little individual sized graham cracker crusts to fill:)

Christian tricked everybody into thinking he had stolen one of Mim's cookies(she made cute little helicopter shaped ones)...he thought he was very funny!!!

Smores anyone?

This is how we spent a cold Friday evening last week. We built our first fire ever in this house and made SMORES!!! The kids loved and I did too...b/c it was my idea:) Even though you can't see the kids faces you can tell they're smiling

Yummy, Yummy...What a treat
