Love is in the Air

Valentine's Day and birthday party wrapped up in one day. Linda aka Nama hosted a great party on Sunday for everyone. IT was a wonderful get together filled with entertaining conversation, laughs, and tons of LOUD little people!
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!!

SHIVER ME TIMBERS!!

A few weekends ago Tim, along with brothers in law, Ben and JP put in our new wood floors in our living room. It was obvious to me that I couldn't be here with the boys so we made plans with Auntie Mary, Malaki, Papa, Gran, Uncle Tim, Auntie Faye, Izzy and Sophie to meet in Sioux Falls for an awesome weekend together!! As always Great Aunt Debbie joined us for swimming and a visit to the zoo where they had a dinosaur exhibit. The hotel had a 16 foot pirate ship and water slides!! These three little boys were in heaven. And to top the weekend off, they were able to see mechanical dinosaurs AND pick out Valentine's gifts from Gran and Papa!! Great Great Weekend!!

Home Safe and Sound

My cousin Becky came home for some R and R from Afganistan. The minute she got off the plane her boyfriend proposed! My aunt Kathy had a party for her last Saturday and we were able to go without the boys. Tim and I were so grateful to see and hug Becky, to meet her fiance, and see that she was in one piece! My group of kiddos has been sending care packages to her since she was deployed last Easter. They have sent her treats, tons of pictures, and letters filled with love.
Thanks to my Uncle Terry and Aunt Colleen, the boys had an absolutely unforgettable day! Seriously, it is all they talk about! They took the boys to a movie, hunted for pine cones in the snow, and made valentine butterflies. The boys can't wait for mom and dad to go "away" again so they can go to Uncle Terry's house.
