Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

Here's our shout out to Dr. Seuss on his 106th birthday!
We love his quirky, fun books! Brogan's school sent a letter
home saying that the kids could wear a fun hat today for
Dr. Seuss's birthday, so I decided it would be fun to try
and sew these hats. I think they turned out pretty cute!
The boys had fun wearing them, especially Gavin. He
hardly took his off all day!

Finally after about 2 years.....

I finally finished the comforters for my boy's
bunk beds. I am happy with the way they
turned out. My boys like them too! Yay!

My lil' Valentine's

Here are my sweet little Valentine's and their
Valentine gifts.

Brogan has such a kind heart and is always thinking
of others!

Gavin has such a silly spirit. He is always
making us laugh and keeping us on our toes!

Camren is such a sweetheart. He brings so much
joy into our family!

I sure love my little guys. I am so blessed to get
to be their mom.
I miss my Big Sweetheart, Seth, and hope he had
a good Valentine's Day!

More Birthday Celebration!

As I said before in a previous post that I was not looking forward to turning 30. I really thought this was going to be a very forgettable birthday, but no one was going to let that happen. My in-laws threw me a birthday party filled with yummy food, gifts and fun. I had a great time!

My kids wanted in on the action too and made me these.......

Soooooo thank you to all those who made my 3oth birthday a special one.

I love you all!

Thursday full of fun!

The Thursday before Valentines was a very busy
one for us. We had lots of fun activities planned.
First, Gavin had a Valentine's party at preschool.
Whitney planned the party. They focused
on the letter "O" The kids decorated paper bags
to collect their Valentine's from each other in. She
told them a story about Mr. O, and they had a
treasure hunt to find orange frosted Valentine
cookies.
Second, we had a Valentine party at our house
for our play group. We read a funny Valentine
story!

We frosted cupcakes and decorated them with
sprinkles and candies!

We made a fun Valentine butterfly craft!

The kids played special agents on the bunkbeds!

We had lots of yummy treats and snacks!

I found this neat craft in the "Family Fun"

magazine. It's called an oracle. It's like those
magic 8 balls. It was fun to make and I had
to share with everyone at the party!

Maybe everyone had fun. I did and thanks to
all those who came!

That night my friends planned a girl's night out.
My birthday being our excuse to get together. We
played some fun games. I love to play games!
Then we had some delicious cheesecake. There was
also chocolate mousse, but my baby doesn't like me so
much when I eat chocolate so I'll have to try some
of that next time. I don't like being the center of
attention, but they made me blow out candles.
I am so blessed to have such great friends.
Thanks you guys.

Turning 30 is not something that I was looking
forward to, but for some reason it turned out ok.
One reason is that I got one of my birthday presents
early. I wanted my parents to come stay with me
for a few days while Seth was gone for 12 weeks
at a training class for work. So he bought them
plane tickets so they could fly into Boise and
stay a few days. We had a lot of fun. My kids
absolutely adore their grandma and grandpa
Farley as they do all their relatives. We did
some fun things while they were here. Here
are some pictures at the Discovery center.

Grandma and Brogan figuring out how to get

the robotic arm and hand to pick up the balls.

Of course we all had to try pulling ourselves up
with this pulley system. Brogan is giving it a go.

Gavin's turn!

Here is Tressie putting those muscles to the
test!

Here I am barely making it off the ground....
just kiddin, I made it to the top!

Here is grandma gliding all the way back down,
what a fun ride!

Here is grandpa giving it a whirl!

Gavin doing a little shopping at the
Discovery Market!

Brogan decided to join him. Sometimes I wish
they could do the grocery shopping for real.

I didn't get many pictures of are adventures
while grandma and grandpa were here. They
treated us to the movies. We saw Avatar. It was
a really neat movie. We did a little bit of shopping, a lot
of Wii playing and a lot of visiting. I know my kids wore
grandpa out. They had to get some wrestling in while
there was a man in the house. Thanks for being so helpful
grandpa. Grandma and grandpa also gave their fair share
of piggy back rides. I'm so glad they were able to come
and visit! Thanks honey for the great b-day present!
