HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

The big day is here and how are we celebrating?

1. No valentine pics...
2. A croupy 2 year old...sleepless nights of lots of coughing.
3. A very exhausted mommy!
4. A new T ball set for the boys.
5. BUT...a good ol' quality family night with dinner in!
(burgers, fries, corn on the cob, and beer)

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL!!!

Christian Walker's turn for some LOVE!

So, with the intentions of doing this post 2 days out for our 2 year old, here we are 1 day from the big L-O-V-E day! (computer issues kept me from being on track) ANYWAY...this post is for our very loveable Christian.

This kiddo definitely keeps us on our toes!



WHY WE LOVE CHRISTIAN WALKER...

1. He is a stinker, but a really sweet one!
2. He is all boy, rough and tough!
3. His funny facial expressions when he's going to get in trouble or when he wants to get out of trouble.
He says..."I sooo sorry!"
(As he's trying to score a hug to make us forget whatever it is he just did.)
4. His big brown eyes.
5. His signature dance moves!

Christian, you are one of our greatest gifts from God! We love you soooo much and look forward to all the memories we'll have together!

MWAH!!!

we LOVE to play hooky...

What do you do when you skip school for a day? You go to Flagstaff!!! The boys and I had a full day of F-U-N!!!

There was bed jumping...


A yummy breakfast with Halley!

A couple elevator rides.


Some good ol' indoor pool play.

We had game play and pizza.




OH, and of course we had to play in the snow!

I guess it's back to school tomorrow!

we LOVE our Cutter Andrew!

The Valentine's Day count down is on, and I thought with it being 4 days away, why not do a L-O-V-E post about our 4 year old...

CUTTER ANDREW KENNEDY

Seriously...what would a picture of Cutter be without his straws!?


WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT THIS KID...

1. His sweet personality.
2. His crazy obsession with straws! Cutter does not discriminate.
Whether it's McDonald's, Sonic, Circle K, or Starbucks, he LOVES all straws!
3. His soft voice and how he sounds when he says he loves you.
I swear you can actually hear the love in his voice!
4. His musicality...he can sing Lady Gaga, Green Day, and Pink with the best of them.
5. His time is his time. He will never do anything until he is ready.
A little nudging is good for this kid!

Cutter Andrew, you are so special and we are blessed everyday we have with you! We are so thankful to God for choosing you to be our little boy!

WE LOVE YOU!!!

A pat on the back please...

WE DID IT!!!

How about a big HOORAY for the Kennedy's?! We made it through January, and a little into February without eating dinner out once! So to end the misery, or I should say commemorate our accomplishment, we headed to an oldie but a goodie for us. I will give you one guess?

WHERE ELSE BUT...

We LOVE (keeping with my l-o-v-e theme) Ajo Al's, as I always say! It really was the perfect place for us to go, as we re-enter the restaurant scene. :) It was Collin's choice, and seriously I was surprised that come time to make the dinner choice (stay in or go out), I really could have stayed home. WHAT? Did I really say that? Was Collin right all along, and now I am cured of my eating out habit!? PLEASE NO!!! However, I think I might be.

Actually, to be fair, Collin deserves a huge THANK YOU for the lesson learned. We were a little bit out of control with the eating out, and his challenge really opened my eyes to how much we could save staying in, AND that there is a Rachel Ray somewhere deep inside me! He was more than complimentary with my cooking skills and the different recipes I attempted for dinner. Do I dare say I enjoyed it a bit?! Now that February has started, I am more than willing to compromise between eating out and dining at home on the weekends. THANK YOU COLLIN for making me "get it"!

I'm not the only one who appreciated the night out.

These boys were in the celebrating mood too!!!

Anyone want to do dinner soon??? :)

Take me out to the ballgame...

WE LOVE TEAM SPORTS!!!

T-Ball season here we are...

Cutter arriving at the ball fields.

We are on to our 2nd sport for Cutter. The oh so ever kid friendly game of T-ball. The first game was this morning, and I would say it was a successful opening day for Cutter! He did very well, and participated the whole game.

Some of Cutter's game highlights.

We are looking forward to a good season!
(It's only 2 months.)

GOOOOOO TEAM!!!

we LOVE a good playdate!

NO SCHOOL TODAY...so we were off to Kari's house to play!

Here's the players...

We rode bikes, played trains, dabbled a little with soccer and Tball, played on the swingset, and had a yummy snack! Mommy's favorite part...the Dr. Pepper!!! It was a great morning!

See you again on the 15th! We can't wait!
