Valentine Cards

Valentine's morning the boys brought these in to Jeremy and I while we were getting ready for church.

It was a sweet surprise.

{Roses are red, violets are gray, Please forgive me for being bad yesterday. From, Mason}

George wrote both of the poems. He meant to write To: Mom and Dad, oops. The boys had gotten in trouble the day before, so that is why he wrote this one asking for forgiveness.

{Roses are red, violets are gray, since I gave you this card will you give me an A. From, George}

Who knew they were such cute poets. I loved it when they gave these to us. I just love sweet surprises, especially from my boys, who you think most of the time, just don't care.

I have the best kids ever. Love 'em to pieces!!!

Valentine's Weekend

My Sweet Love brought these home for me for Valentine's. Very unexpected, he's not much of a flower giving guy. And he brought them home on Thursday so I could enjoy them all weekend.

I love this close up shot.

We went to Olympia on Saturday to spend the day with MaKey and Poppa and Marnie, Whitney and Austin who came over for the weekend. The kids squeezed in the back of the van. Can you tell who's having fun and who might not be?

Marnie had a crazy idea to go running. Well not really crazy, 'cuz we are training for our 1/2 marathon, but she wanted me to go with her while she was here. Her long runs are on Saturday's, so she wanted to go 8 miles, but we only ended up going 3. We went around the lake that's right below the Capitol. And Mom took the kids inside the Capitol to look around and keep them busy while we were gone. Too bad it was a rainy day, we were soaked.

Our triumphant run up the capitol stairs to meet everyone.

My cute poser.

Makey and MJ have matching ipods.  (I sure love those cute little hands)

We went to McD's after for lunch and Whitney got her drink stuck in the door holder, so she was trying to drink it down so she could get it out. You had to be there, it was a great laugh. Bending over that far was a little tricky. ha ha

Aunt Marnie taught MJ how to knit with a loom to keep her busy while the boys were outside playing basketball. It was short lived and then I took over, but didn't quite finish before we left for dinner.

Dinner at Happy Teriyaki. Yumm

Poor Poppa hasn't felt well lately, but he made it out with us for dinner.

MaKey sent us home with cookies that she made. They were soooo good. I couldn't stop eating them all day on Sunday. All I ate on sun. was leftover Happy Teriyaki, chocolate, cookies, more chocolate and more cookies and repeat again. I really felt gross by the end of the day, but I just couldn't help myself, I have little self control when I have yummy treats around.  I've been trying so hard to eat good and watch my calories the last couple of weeks and I so blew it. But oh well, it was a Holiday and it was soo worth it. It ended up being an eat whatever you want day at our house. That's just they way we roll around here sometimes.

♥♥Happy Valentine's!!!♥♥

Busy Weekend

Saturday was Home Depot day for the kids. They made a car display. Mason hit his finger with the hammer so he couldn't finish his, poor guy. He finished it later at home.

We finally got haircuts done. Boy did they need it. I hate when the boys' hair starts growing over their ears. I don't like shaved heads either, but it's so easy and they love it, so I always give in.  And MJ talked me into cutting a little off her hair too. (I added a little photo editing for fun just in time for Vday.)

Relaxing Sunday after church,  until this happened:

MJ cut her head. There's sharp corners of wood that sticks out from the half wall that goes up the stairs and she hit it pretty good to make a nice gash. Mason did the same thing last summer. I hate head wounds, I should be used to them by now. They've all done it many times. This is MJ's 3rd on her head. I wasn't sure if it was bad enough to take her in to get stitches or not. I'm sure if we would have gone in, they would have, but we decided not to take her. It's healing fine now. Just one more scar to add to her many she has already. Ugh.

Ma♥Key and Poppa came over Sat. night to take us out to dinner. They were up our way searching for eagles, but they didn't see any this time. It's been too warm, so they must've gone already. They made this cute Valentine's Sundae decoration. I thought it was a bunch of goodies for us to eat, but nope they're glued on, darn it. It gets to sit there and tempt me. Super cute idea. Thanks Mom and Dad.

What a fun weekend we had. There's always somethin' goin' on here, I tell ya.

Happy Moments
