Park with Beau and Annie

The weather has been absolutely AMAZING this week! We have been trying to get our best friend boys (Haynes and Beau) together a little more often, so we planned lunch date. We had the best time getting together and got A LOT of sun too!

We were swinging before we left and the kids were so cute. They said, "Look mom! Next week our baby can swing in the only swing left." I can't believe that in less than a week we will be meeting our newest member to our family!

Valentines Cards

My favorite part of Valentine's Day is the cards we do for our kids. Brian and I both buy the kids cards and write them notes about the things we love most about them. I bought some cute Valentine's backpacks from PotteryBarn that we keep all our cards in from every year. I have had the hardest time keeping the kids out of their backpacks all month...they LOVE this tradition!

We did our cards when we got home from dinner. This year we both bought everyone music cards, so they had to dance when they opened their cards:-) Then they stand up and let us read our card aloud in front of everyone.

Ella waiting patiently while she continues to apply lipgloss:-)

Port (our crazy dancer) might love this tradition the very most! He could hardly wait for his turn to receive his cards.

Ella loved the dancing part the most. One day she will love looking back at the different cards and read about the things we loved about her when she was two years old!

Valentines Day

We gave the kids their Valentines gifts on Monday night. I bought the boys gifts (basketball jersey and basketballs) and Brian bought Ella her gift (bubble bath, lip gloss and a book). They were super excited!

Next we surprised the kids and took the to PoPs! They each got to pick out a drink...

Ella-purple juice

Port- Dr. Pepper

Haynes- Blue Soda

Ella LOVED her lipgloss...I think it was completely used by the end of the night!

At dinner we go around the table and share what we love most about each person in our family. Our kids are actually getting to the age that it is really fun to hear their sweet answers...especially to each other!

Lolli and Champ got each of the kids a new animal that hasn't left their sight since Monday...

Valentine's Dinner with my favorite Valentines!

Daddy ended the evening with a fun ice cream treat. Our kids devoured it and made a huge mess...I couldn't stop laughing!!

Snow Day #2!!!

We were so excited to get a REDO on our Snow Day this week! Daddy didn't have to go to work on Wednesday...and it honestly felt like Christmas morning when he broke the news to us. We started with a fun family breakfast of eggs, monkey bread, pineapple, and bacon!

Daddy took everyone out to play in the snow. Ella lasted about 10 minutes before she was inside requesting hot chocolate! The boys headed to the park and enjoyed sliding in the snow!

After a movie, Valentine cards, and lunch Brian took the boys sledding with their cousins. I always had some hot chocolate waiting. Ella and I stayed back and did some fun girl things...painted nails, bubble baths, and books!

Best Snow Day Ever!

House Church

We had some of our Lebanon team come and speak at house church this week. I took care of the kids, which was so fun! I quickly shot a picture of these cute kids playing. We loved having cute Claire Bear to hang out with the other kids. I think Haynes loved being her little protector of the day!

Weekend Fun

Brian and I planned a fun weekend in Tulsa before the baby comes...but the snow made us change our plans. We went and spent the weekend in OKC while the kids spent some time with Lolli and Champ.

Haynes and Champ LOVE making bacon together!

It was a BEAUTIFUL day! I think the kids spent almost the entire day outside playing.

Isn't this picture amazing of Haynes!

Champ took everyone sledding behind the golf cart. They had a great weekend! Thanks Lolli and Champ for loving on the kids and letting us have some fun time together!

Playdate with Beau

Friday morning Haynes and I went and picked up Beau to spend the morning with us since Annie wasn't feeling great. Haynes and Beau just absolutely love spending time together- so we decided to spend the day together. After Mom's prayer we went and picked up Port and Ella and headed to Chick-fil-a. (Let's not even discuss all the looks I got with my 4 kids walking in together, in the snow, with a really pregnant mommy!) We had a great time...I'm honestly sure who had more fun Port, Haynes, Beau or Ella!

Love you sweet Beau!
