My Valentine's Surprise

*There is a warning that this is a rather sentimental, emotional post--but it is about Valentine's Day and I DO happen to be sentimental and emotional (;
Yes, I did make all my boys wear matching shirts for Valentine's Day. Call me cheesy, but they look so cute! Besides, I gotta pull the V Day card when I can right?!

Jonas all bright-eyed! His locks are coming in curly!

My little Valentines.

J & J

I can't even begin to explain this. Jas got me my MOST FAVORITE GIFT EVER! (after my engagement ring). He spent hours on it--the garage was strictly off-limits for me. I was so excited to open it! He had the boys color on the wrapping paper and traced their little footprints! Here it is......

(K took the pic--that's why it's crooked!) The story behind this gift--Jas MADE the frame, even w/o all the proper tools--and the beautiful painting--one my dear Grandma painted. My Grandma passed away while J and I were engaged. The gift is absolutely priceless .The man who gave it to me--my own ForeverValentine. I consider myself blessed.

Magic of Snow

It snowed a few weeks ago. Since Missouri doesn't get much snow (by Utah standards) we were thrilled!! Here are my boys.


Jonas is at that fun stage where he is a snowball--he falls and can't get up! It's so cute.

He looks happy doesn't he?!

K and J playing in their jeep.


This picture is applicable--I promise!! Monday mornings are K & my special time--we play games together or make a craft, just the two of us--this was our sugar SNOWpeople. They look a little crazy, but did they ever taste great!
