Valentine's Day

This year for Valentine's Day we bought the kids marshmallow roses and a game for the DS. Here are our cute Valentines:) Gary and I got to go out while the kids stayed home and played with Mary Anne. I took Gary to Climb Time Indy (we found out we're not expert rock wall climbers - but we had a lot of fun anyway)!

Gary had the kids make me this awesome picture (that is now hanging in our downstairs bathroom for all to enjoy)! We had a very nice day!

SNOW!!!

Yesterday we bundled up and headed outside to play in the snow! Bri and I usually don't make it too long but it wasn't windy so we were able to enjoy it a little more! Gary thinks it's his job to throw snowballs at everybody - and it hurts! One of these days we'll get him back!

The slide was crazy fun! It had ice on it so we just flew down it!

Boston still loves the snow! He's so cute running around in it! If you make a snowball he comes and bites it out of your hand every time! He hates snowmen - and if you make one he ruins it!

Brayden and Brianna were loving all the ice that broke off of the swingset - Brianna was eating it like candy!

After school Brayden didn't know I was watching him, but he decided he needed to make himself a path on the sidewalk with the shovel! It was so cute - he did a really good job! Afterwards, he said his back hurt! He has a new appreciation for snow shoveling!

31st birthday... Yikes!

On wednesday we celebrated my 31st birthday (nothing too exciting about 31...) Gary and I went out the night before to The Melting Pot while my mom stayed home with the kids. Very yummy dinner! On my actual birthday my brother Daniel and his wife Kim flew in from California so we got to spend some time with them - we don't get to see them often so this was extra nice:) We went out to Sushi on the Rocks for lunch - so tasty - and then spent the afternoon watching Daniel and Brayden play Super Mario Bros. on the wii - too bad he lives so far away! That night we took Bri to gymnastics then came home for an amazing steak dinner! (As you can see, our celebrations revolve around food!) Unfortunately, there weren't many good pics taken...
Bri was upset because she didn't get to blow the candles out - so we had a re-do! Present time!

This pic is unrelated to my birthday... Sophi had come over a few weeks ago and she and Brayden had got all dressed up - it was hilarious!!! I had to take a picture for blackmail later!
