Carter Wayne's Valentine's Day Party

Carter Wayne's teachers out did themselves for V Day! They made strawberry pancakes for the kids. Of course they were shaped like hearts. :) Carter Wayne ate 3! They also exchanged Valentines. It was a great day!

Sawyer's Valentine Party

Here is Sawyer with sweet Ms.Lindsay and some of his special friends at school. It is such a fun little class and they all love their teachers and each other. There wasn't much to their party, but Sawyer did take Valentines for his class.

Happy Valentine's Day!

On Valentine's Day the boys woke up to special presents including new shirts and PJ's. They looked so cute. Their Valentine parties weren't till later in the week but, I put special valentines in all my boys' lunches. After school I treated them to Sonic. Sawyer enjoyed a goody from a friend at school, but CW wanted ice cream. Love was in the air because these boys were so sweet to each other all day - no, they really were. Sitting by each other at dinner and cuddling before bed. It was a sweet day and I was reminded of all the love I have in my life.

What a Weekend!

Well, we went a little overboard the weekend after all the snow. We had been so cooped up for so long that when we got out - we stayed out! Friday night we went to the Hollands. Saturday morning a bowling birthday party. We shopped all day Saturday. Saturday night we drove to Fayetteville to be with the Silvey's. Sunday was church then lunch at Gift and Linda's. Did I mention no naps? After lunch we got home and had about 30 minutes before the next activity and we were spent. We decided to cancel our plans. Thank goodness because poor Sawyer fell asleep in his highchair. He has never done that! Crazy! Glad we finally stayed home and got the rest we needed, but we definitely had a wonderful weekend.

Friends

Our sweet friends Gift and Linda had us over for Sunday lunch a couple of weeks ago. She is an amazing cook and made food from their home country of Malawi. They have three boys so our kids were in heaven! They are the most loving people I have ever met and they feel like family. I believe that God brought them into our lives after Rodney's trip to Malawi to give him a sweet connection to the country that still holds his heart. Rodney will be headed back to Malawi in June and I am so excited for him. I am so thankful God brought Gift and Linda into out lives.

Dinner with the Silvey's

Last Saturday night we headed to the Silvey's for dinner. We all had the best time together. Carter Wayne wanted to spend the night - I think we all wanted to! Love that family!

Rylan's Bowling B-Day Party

Our buddy Rylan turned 6 and had the best bowling party. The kids - and the dads - loved bowling. The cupcakes were wonderful, as well as the cake! We so enjoyed getting out of the house after all the snow and hanging with so many of our friends!

"Be Mine"

On one of our many snow days we worked on Valentines for our friends at school. Who wouldn't want a Valentine from these cuties???

Snow Angels

I did insist that CW make a snow angel with me. I am a sucker for those!

What can I Say? SNOW

We walked all around the neighborhood and jumped in the snow. Sawyer wasn't a fan but he stuck it out for brother. Mostly we carried him. Our friend Ira and his siblings had made the coolest fort - impressive. CW didn't ask to sled, or build a snowman and he didn't cry when it was time to come in. Like I said the novelty had definitely worn off. :) Rodney did shovel the drive and prepped the alleyway for a Sonic run. Did I mention how much I love him?!?
