Today my AwEsOmE parents offered to keep the boys so that Aaron & I could go out for Valentine's Day.  They also kept Cason and Conleigh so Cameron & Christina could do the same.  So we decided to have a Double Date!  It was so much FuN!!!  We left early because we knew Tyler would be crazy with people celebrating early and it was!!  We went to eat at Julian's and it was delicious as always!  They had even set the mood for romance - Ha! ;)  Then we went to the movies to see Just Go With It.  It was good and funny!  We finished off the night and our tummies with Orange Leaf!  YuM!  It was a GREAT night and we really enjoyed hangin' with Rico & Nina minus all the kiddos for a change! ;)

Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Tonight I wanted to treat my guys special to show them how much I LOVE them so I went all out!!!  I made them a candlelit dinner - steak, shrimp, veggies, loaded baked potatoes and croissant rolls.  For dessert, heart-shaped chocolate lava cake with ice cream, hot fudge and caramel AND chocolate covered strawberries!!!  YuM!!!  
Before I baked them...
Valentine Gifts for My Guys!
... And AfTeR!!  Yummy!!!
The boys each got some candy and these little build-a-bear outfits, Aaron got 2 shirts, candy and a card and they got me the Juicy perfume I'd been wanting, Viva La Juicy!  Thanks, Sweethearts!

This Valentine's Day and all the celebrations were fantastic!  I am so blessed, so loved and so IN LOVE with my family, my husband and my life.  Most of all I'm in love with the author and creator of the greatest love story of all - My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!  Thank you, Lord, that "We love because He first loved us."  1 John 4:19

One More Valentine's Day Celebration...
I had asked Aaron to take me to Dallas for Valentine's Day to shop and eat and spend the day together. Because of his work schedule, we decided we'd have to go the day after v-day and his AwEsOmE parents offered to keep the boys for us! So off we went... It was a FaBuLouS day!!! Lunch was delicious! (As it always is at The Cheesecake Factory!!) And I was a woman on a mission when we got to Northpark! I had so much fun shopping and Aaron was such a trooper to tough it out with me! ;) We had such a GREAT day! :)

Super Bowl Sunday

What a great day! We started our day at church which is always such a blessing!! Our good friends Ryan & Kelly visited our church with us today and we are so glad they did! Then we stopped by Walmart to get a few things for the Super Bowl. It was crazy!! Apparently, we weren't the only ones who waited till the last minute! We came home and ate lunch, got our food ready for the party and let the boys play outside. Zach, Lauren & Bliss arrived shortly after and we went exploring and riding 4-wheelers. We pulled the boys on the knee boards in the grass. They had a blast even without the snow! Cameron, Christina, Cason & Conleigh soon arrived and we had ourselves a PaRtY!!  We gathered at Mom & Dad's for pulled pork sandwiches, baked beans, dips and chips, chocolate cake... and to watched the Super Bowl.  (Well, the guys watched... Ha!)  This year it was Green Bay vs. Steelers in Dallas - GB won.  We also celebrated Dad & Cameron's Birthdays.  It was a fun day with our family!

Snow Day 2011

On this COLD Friday in Lindale, TX school was cancelled and we woke up to a White Winter Wonderland!!   This is the 2nd time in 2011 that we have received snow but this time we got 4-6 inches!!!
A warm breakfast on this cold snow day!
I had to muster up the courage to brave the cold for the boys this morning.  
Aaron had to work! :( 
The BoYs running and playing in the SnOw!! 
So BeAuTiFuL!!!
Our Igloo!!
FooTpRinTs!!
My Lil' SnowAngels!
Precious Angels!

Playing in the front yard... we tried to build a snowman but the snow was too dry and wouldn't stick together so we had a snowball fight... until someone got a snow ball down the neck, got too cold and DIED! ;) You would've thought Jack Frost was physically torturing him!


Papaw brought us lunch!  So SwEEt & thoughtFUL!!!
Of course, pizza at Medders Manor means a picnic in the living room and a movie!  

This time in front of the fire.  "Comfty Cozy!"
Asher LOVES his PiZZa and RANCH!!!

Abram's Looses 1st Tooth & 1st Tooth Fairy Visit

Abram lost his tooth the other night at a birthday party while eating pizza.  I wasn't there so Aaron had this picture sent to me.  :( 
Lost his tooth on 1/28/11
Snaggle Tooth Abram and his missing tooth!
It was so small we put it in a baggie for the tooth fairy. 
Abram putting his tooth under his pillow.
We had to check on the tooth one more time
before the tooth fairy took it...
And look what we found!!  The tooth fairy thought that Abram's 1st tooth was worth $5!!!  WoW!!!
