Happy Valentine's Day!

Today, was such a wonderful Valentine's day.  We spent the entire day together as a family, I think this is the first Valentine's Day that Chris has had off since we have been together.  It was just a nice quiet day home together.  This is the fruit bouquet that I got from Dave and Chris.  I think that Dave ate all most all of the fruit that wasn't covered in chocolate.

Later in the afternoon Dave and I decorated some Valentine's Day cookies.

A special cookie for Daddy!

And one last Valentine's Day surprise....when Chris got out of the shower he was treated to some hearts hanging around the basement... 

A Valentine's Day Celebration!

Yesterday, Dave's friends Caden and Aaron invited him over for a Valentine's Day party.  Lisa had a fantastic craft planned for the boys to do.  They made these great labels for mini Hershey candies.  They placed thumb prints on some and wrote "thumb buddy loves me" on them and colored on others.  The boys sat still to do a few and then they were off playing cars and running around...I guess boys will be boys.  But the mom's had  a great time finishing up the craft and talking.  

After running around for awhile the boys got out their train tracks and they all sat quietly playing trains.  All 5 of the boys get along so well!

All 5 boys sitting together, a task that took some bribing and cheering, but we did it!!  Thank you Lisa, Caden and Aaron for a wonderful morning.

Happy Anniversary Beegie and Pies!

What a great day for the...

ZOO!!!

Since the weather was so nice yesterday we stopped and picked up Steph and then off the zoo for the morning. It was a perfect day to go. Above, Dave is checking out the otters.

The Alligator was trying to hide under his log but Dave found him.
The Prairie dogs were rather muddy, but still my favorites to watch.
And of course we stopped to see what lives beneath the grasslands. Thanks Steph for going with us, we had a great time!

Happy Birthday, Memom!
