Valentines 2012

So this weekend while we had Kaili we celebrated Valentines Day. Every year I do a little treasure hunt for the kids where they can find little prizes. I got those buckets for $1 each and yes I know they look Springish, but that is because I will use them for Easter as well! :) I was SO sick last week with strep throat, I am amazed I was still able to get this done for them.

Kaili's first prize a fancy nancy valentines book

And karson with his book, Huds got a book as well.

Next clue led them to find thier gift in the fridge!

I made dinner of ravioli, corn, and garlic bread, Kaili and Karson love ravioli.

The buckets are now full! :)

Saturday we celebrated my dad and Roury's birthday at my parents house. The tradition of "The Valentine Man" stopped by and gave all the kids a book, we got a fun game and a decoration.

Sunday the Fankhausers gave us our Valentines as well, Kaili got some Bath and Body Works stuff which she loves and some treats, Kars got a cute fish book and treats and Hudson got a book and some toys. Ty and I got some $$ and treats! We are so blessed to have such great families. Thank you.

Karson closing his eyes for his picture!

Hudson is such a daddy's boy, much more than Karson was. Ty loves it! :)

Kaili and Emeri playing the piano together!

Emeri, Kadi, Shy and Karson! Happy Valentines Day! Oh and last night Ty surprised me with a GORGEOUS mother's necklace! I had no idea and was so happy! I just started crying when I saw it. it's on a white gold chain and has 4 stones for each of my wonderful kids! Love you Ty!

Hudson!

Hudson will be 10 months on Saturday! I can't believe it! He now has 4 teeth, two top and two bottom. And I think he is getting two more on the side!

Hudson loves Karson and always crawls into his room to play with his toys! I love when I catch Karson hugging Hudson or playing with him. It makes my heart so happy. Hudson is still a firecracker, but he can always make us smile!

Valentine Projects..

So, I was at Target a few weeks ago and I saw these cute little mailboxes in their dollar section! SoI bought 5 of them and decorated them with some Valentine stickers! Every day I try to put a little love note and small treat in them for Ty and the kids! Kaili and Karson love them and think they are so fun. I am glad I bought them and will continue to use them every year!

5 little mailboxes sitting in a row! :)

So, if you've remembered my past blog entries I do the 12 days of Valentines for Ty and I have every year since we were engaged. On Pinterest I saw some cute free Valentines print outs and I printed some off. This is what Ty gets today, and the label says " love potion"!

Brian Regan

We went to Brian Regan a few weeks ago with my parents, and Bethanie and Johnny! It was HILARIOUS! I haven't laughed so hard in a long time and it was a great night out! Me and Bethanie, so glad she is feeling better after being in the hospital for basically two months from her tumor!

Me and my honey!

Christmas Eve 2011

Christmas Eve we got together at Ty's parents at 3:00 so we could all be there together! The above picture is of the 3 new grandkids this year, Kadi on the left is the oldest born March 31, then Hudson was born April 4 and then Addison was born August 11. It will be fun to watch them grow together!

Here is Emeri who just turned 3 and is Kadi's older sister and then Karson, we were just missing Kaili, because we didn't get her until the 26th! She is the oldest grandchild on both sides.

Me and my sweet boy!

Christmas 2011

Christmas 2011 was so fantastic this year! I loved it! We spent Christmas Eve at Ty's parents house and slept over. We did half our Christmas over there on Christmas morning and then the rest with Kaili on the morning of the 26th. So we had an extra long Christmas this year! About a month before Chrsitmas, Karson started telling everyone he wanted a fishy tank, we have no idea where he came up with this, but he wouldn't let it go. So luckily for him Santa surprised him and got him a fish tank with a blue beta fish, Karson named Nemo!

Hudson was happy to sit on the floor and watch everything going on around him! He also loved to play with all his new toys!

Karson checking out the fish....

Going through thier stockings from Gma Kay and Gpa Larry!

Karson opening up his present from his grandparents, a Cars 2 remote control car and race track! Santa brought him other sets that connect to this one! He loves it and has had a lot of fun with it!

Karsons favorite bear manning the fish tank! I thought this was so cute, I looked over and hadn't realized Karson had done this!

This is 4 generations, Tyler's Grandpa Don, his dad Larry, Ty and Hudson, I wish Tyler wasn't on his phone at this moment, but we couldn't get another picture with Hudson cooperating!
