happy valentines!

hope you had a great valentines day!

we did.  we didn't do much but had fun being together as a family.

here is the kiddos "presents" on the table waiting for them to wake up.

i LOVE books, so we got them all a book, a card and some chocolate,

except kale got squash. poor boy

they loved it.

i made the girls skirts for heart day.

they didn't take them off for days so i think they may like them.

the tutorial for the skirt is here.

SNOW

it snowed just a little the other day.  brett needed to shovel so we could get out of our driveway.

so the girls got suited up and went out with dad.

it was alittle chilly so me and kale stayed in.

the girls LOVED it.

say "cheese"

i took this picture to show how deep it really was! 

LOTS of snow.

look at that sweet face. 

brett, being the good dad he is, was shovelling snow at the girls. 

it was very funny.

here is mallory trying to get away from one of the shovel fulls.

you can see the snow in the top right corner.

she is always so silly.

look at my man, looking so manly! 

wooh!  smokin' hot!

faces getting cold.

here is sweet bubba. 

he really wanted to be out there but it was just too cold. 

we watched from one of his favorite places.  the front window.

cake and stats

happy birthday to kale again!

i made cake for kale.  he didn't really like getting dirty.

brett helped him eat it and get into it.

he was not liking the cake on his hands.

he did like the cake.  here is proof.

he stayed pretty clean.  so cute.

he is just adorable. 

he plays peek a boo.  SO CUTE.

he loves to dance and sing.  his favorite song is itsy bitsy spider.

he is pulling up on everything, cruzing and loves to walk around holding onto your fingers.

he loves animals.  he will see one and FREAK OUT.  pointing and making animal noises. 

he is my first baby to love milk and is almost all the way off formula.

he really likes to bug  play with his sisters and get in everything they have carefully set up.

he is always looking at a book or crawling over to me to read one. 

olivia and mallory love to act out books for him and he laughs and laughs.

he is a sweet little guy and we love him. 

happy birthday kale!

(ps. he also LOVES to play in the toilet!

you think you have shut the door, nope!  laughing and splashing.

there he is just playing away in the water.  FABULOUS.

i guess i do have 2 sweet girls to "help" me keep the door closed!

i should just gave him the scrubber and let him clean.)

kale decided to share his cake with his sisters! 

wasn't that nice!

eating. 

they were so excited.

BIG bite.

daddy helped olivia eat too.  right in her cake.

she thought it was hilarious.

she decided to get into the cake too.

i should have helped brett here and not taken a picture.

i think we may do individual birthday cakes for everyone every birthday now.

way to fun!
