Happy Valentine's Day!


Every year Reese and I have our picture made together as a Valentine gift for Daddy. The last two years she was mostly crying in the pics and therefore I was stressed. This year however she was quite the little ham! She had a blast..thanks to my friend Kristy for the recommendation we got a ton of pictures for cheap at Portrait Innovations. Here are some of my favorites! Enjoy!





The ones with the boa totally cracked me up! Back at Halloween I bought Reese a boa to go with her Fancy Nancy costume and she wouldn't even look at the darn thing much less wear it. As soon as we got to the portrait studio she noticed a bunch of props on the wall and insisted on wearing a boa..go figure! She really wanted the pink or yellow one but luckily we were able to persuade her to at least wear the red one.




I have never seen Reese laugh so much especially in front of a camera! I was thrilled with the staff and how great they were with her. She LOVED it and therefore so did I. Happy Valentine's Day Daddy. We love you!!

A Fun Valentine Surprise...

came in the mail last week from Mimi and Bob in Missouri. Thank God it came late in the day because I told Reese we had to wait for Daddy to get home to open it. This is what she did for close to an hour waiting on him:)


You would think there isn't a single toy in the house the way this child was acting! Ha!

Finally Daddy got home and we went to work opening presents. Can you tell she was THRILLED!!


This pink ball was one of the favorites of the many gifts.

Of course Mommy's favorite is all these clothes:) Thanks Mimi!!

Mimi saved alot of Bob's childhood toys and the second box was TONS of his old cars. I'm not sure who was more excited to play with these!!




Thanks again Mimi and Bob!

More Snow day 2!

This morning almost immediatly upon waking up Reese wanted to go outside and play with her snowman. Daddy had to go back to work so I tried to convincve her we should wait until it warmed up a bit to go out. After breakfast and playing inside for ahwile I finally gave in to the begging to go outside. We took a self portrait before heading outside...


We found some little friends to play with. Reese and our sweet neighbor Emma were throwing snowballs at each other while the older kids played and the mommys froze!

Reese had fun just exploring in the snow. There were some places that she could barely walk bceause the snow was so deep. We didn't stay out nearly as long as it was COLD out there!

We came inside for some hot chocolate and of course peeking out the window at our snowman!

Snow, Snow Snow!!

Yesterday we got record snowfall for North Texas. Something like 12 or so inches, which breaks the record for the last 111 years...Yikes! Reese had MDO yesterday and although it was snowing in the morning it wasn't bad yet so they still had school. By the time she got out at 2:00 it was still snowing and starting to get bad so Bob came home from work early to go pick her up. She was dying to go out and make a snowman before school so I promised her we would go out once she got home. We didn't waist any time getting bundled up to go out.


Daddy quickly went to work on building a snowman.


Reese mostly enjoyed eating the snow. This being her first time ever to play in it she was pretty excited.







We threw some snowballs and Daddy shoveled the sidewalk.


Last but not least after careful instruction from Daddy we made snow angels!!




After we went inside Reese wanted to look out the window at her snowman every few minutes..it was so cute!

Happy Birthday to our sweet friend Blakey!

Our favorite little neighbor friend turned 9 last week. We all went to dinner at Jinbeh on her birthday night. Both girls were thrilled with the flame throwing acrobatics of our chef!


I forgot my camera so please excuse the crummy phone pics:(
Here's one of the Daddys...


Little Miss Blake is in LOVE with the big cupcake cakes so I made these for her party(thanks again to my sweet friend Erin for loaning me the cake pan)! They were no where near perfect but she was happy with them so I was thrilled!




Happy Birthday Blake! We love you!!!
