Valentine photo shoot

Here are my darling Valentines

 And because I'm always behind the camera I wanted a picture with my little darlings so Ryan helped out and took these for me.

I love love love 'em all!

Valentine's

Valentine's Day has come again. Here's our traditional Valentine Hunt. 

Our first Valentine present came a bit earlier, Ryan and I got matching headsets for when we play plants vs. zombies with other friends on the computer. :) I know we're such geeks. 

For Ryan I wanted to make him a nice Valentine meal just for the two of us. I spent most of the day cooking, but it was yummy!

So Ryan went to get a pizza and we set the kiddos up downstairs for a pizza picnic and a movie. He also brought back these lovely roses as well. 

So the menu was chicken cordon bleu, twice backed potatoes, and pepper pastry poppers. I also made some beautiful and delicious virgin strawberry daiquiris.  It was delicious and so quiet eating without the kiddos.

 I also made a cherry pie as usual,

and some cherry tarts for the kiddos (they taste better than the look :) ) 

 When we were all done we invited the kiddos up for dessert and I even had a little bit of the daiquiris for them. They called it strawberry pop, 

Lincoln's darling shirt says "I will steal your heart" And he totally has. :)

Happy Valentine's Day to all my wonderful Valentine's that I love love love!

1 Month old and a bit before and after

Can you believe this little guy is one month old already? I know how looks thrilled about it doesn't he? Lincoln has been doing great and fitting right in. He's even finally got a sleep routing down, at least at night so I only have to get up twice to feed him. YAY! Sorry he looks sad in the pic. It's because he was. Apparently he's not thrilled with Billy yet.

 Bella does a good job taking care of him. she keeps him company when I'm too busy to hold him. 

 And Olivia helps give him his binky. And pretty much just looking cute.

 Shh he's sleeping. :)

 Chillin' with Dad!

Chillin' with Mom!

This girl can sing!

 Bella has been learning about dinosaurs in preschool. 

We also have Jaden's spelling and reading tests that he got 100% on. My birthday cards they made me, and on the end there is Jaden's picture of Joseph Smith in the sacred grove that he made in primary.

Manicure time with the girls. Bella even did Olivia's for her.

Jaden's Valentine's for his class. He said everyone loved them!

 Bella's Valentine's for her class. She did a fantastic job coloring writing names and cutting out each one!

Made a heart in Bella's hair for her preschool Valentine party

 Bella's Valentine haul from preschool. 

 My elephant Valentine girls.

 Jaden also got a good Valentine haul from his school party, I just didn't get a picture. :)

Bella's learning about George Washington in preschool. Yeah, probably shouldn't give her a real ax. She looks CRAZY! ;)

And one more of a cute baby ready for a bath. :)
