Daddy's Little Girl!!

I love you Paity!!

I Love You Day

It was that time again....VaLenTineS daY!!

We had fun having people over again for our

annual Valentine's Party!

Dinner was as yummy as always: ribs, potatoes, yummy salads, rolls, artichoke dip, the famous Italian Sodas, and a slew of decadent desserts! 

We NEVER have fun getting together...can you tell??!!

(You're bound to have fun with this crazy group!)

Meet the Clan...

(I made them take pictures in front of this backdrop...

just like those awkward dance poses)

Seth + Abbie

Sean + Lynzi

Ryan + Ashley

Nate + Meri

Kenny + McKenzie

Garrett + Shannon

Us

Danny + Nancy

Chris + Autumn

Missing: (Mike & Andrea: had to sneak out to chaperone a dance)

and a few others who couldn't make it!

What would life be like without good friends??

Little Terror

This little girl is making life difficult at the moment!

She gets into anything and everything, especially the things I say 'NO' to!

This is how I found her the other day...

(note to self: put wipes on dresser)

And Paityn's shelf with books! A favorite hot spot!

She is such a busy-body these days! Into cleaning supplies, toilet paper, stairs, (you know this stage don't you) If it wasn't for her silly personality and sweet smile, I might have to sell her to the zoo!

The Best Valentine Gift

This is who knocked on my door

to deliver a Valentine Kiss!

 (after Preschool)

Lucky Me!

Weekend Getaway to a Winter Wonderland

2 weekends ago, we escaped where to a place where

no cell phones work,

moose roam round,

and the mountain air is still.

Presley watching Paityn play in the snow with envy

We had fun doing this....

And playing in this..

Mom and Aunt Sherri

Grandma Lindsey, Abby, and Paityn setting up the Wii

What a nice, relaxing weekend!

This years Valentines

I just found these Valentines on Etsy

and am so excited about them!

(Hope Paityn is too!)

Night in with family

Last night, my cousin Mindi and her daughter Whitney,

my cousin Jessie, my aunt Sherri, and Grandma Lindsey

came for a visit!

It was so much fun seeing her little girl and getting a chance

to visit! (we need to do it more than once a year)

Our attempt at a picture with them both...all Presley wanted

to do was grab Whitney's face and hair! This whole 'teaching her

to be soft' thing isn't working!

Can you seriously even get over those big blue eyes!

Thanks for coming you guys! I love you! Let's do it again real soon!
