Valentine's Day

Getting ready for Valentine's Day by filling out ALL her Valentine cards. ( well scribbling on each one and putting the lollipop in )

Troy took the kids to a Valentine party that girls in our ward threw, they had a ton of fun. I asked him to get some pictures and I think he did a good job :) I rarely take the camera with us anywhere anymore for fear we are going to lose it! ( hence the lack of pictures )

Here Lucy is putting Valentine's in all her friends bags.

Troy even took the kids to Target that morning and got them something with red or pink to wear. ( do I have a good husband or what?)

They even had a ton of fun as brother and sister at the park :)

Well.....maybe.....haha

Most of the kids.....:) There were a lot!

Here is Valentine Morning ( so these pictures go before the party pictures )

Here is Stetson's present....

And Lucy's....I even went to the donut store that morning and brought back Valentine decorated donuts! Lucy was in LOVE!

And here are Troy and Stetson playing with the cars....notice the one on Stetson's head?

We had a great day!

Baseball fun!

Behind our house we have a wonderful grassy area that we take advantage of ( and no one else really does! ) This day we were practicing hitting baseballs with our neighbors....after playing in the hose!

Stetson had his fun too!

Us lately.

Wearing mommys shoes and lipstick.

Having fun on the slide in our backyard. I love the different faces as he goes down the slide!

My big kids drinking at the table. ( I don't know why this is showing up blue and underlined )

Daddy/daughter love :)

How adorable are these shoes?

Lucy took this picture :)

Chilling on the bean bag chair.

Watching tv....hehe.

Lucy is a big helper!

Yes there is a naked child in the background.....she would rather be naked lately than anything else. And Stetson enjoyed sitting in Lucy's big girl chair....until....

He fell RIGHT after this picture was taken....right on his face. :(

Lucy took these pictures too!

Overall these are little snapshots of us on a daily basis!

8 months!

Guess who is 8 months????? We finally used his age stickers! I have had them since he was about 2 months and always forget to use them! I think you are supposed to put them on a white shirt, but this looked cute too! I always post at the end of the month about his previous month ....I update the post the entire month and save it, and finally post it when he turns the next month ( does that make sense?) so I will post all about 8 months later! But here are cute pics!

His favorite thing to do....chew on things outside! hehe

I LOVE this pose!

Lucy took this picture ( below ) I think she did a darn good job!

8 months

Things to remember:

- The day he turned 8 months he pulled himself up to his knees and then to standing....UH OH! Please don't tell me he will walk early! I am good without that thank you very much! :)

-Still trying to break those top two teeth

-LOVES to go for walks! We can go for a 2 hour walk and he will not make a peep! Soo content! I love it!

- Still sleeps at least 12 hours straight at night and takes a 3-4 hour nap during the day. We have got an amazing sleeper on our hands!

- When we walk into his room ( well our room ) when he is awake from a nap or after the night, he is standing up smiling at us!

- Favorite milk and peanut free snacks? cheerios, banana, black beans, graham crackers, ritz, avocado, soy yogurt, oatmeal

- He knows how to stand up and then bring himself back down to the ground without falling ( yahoo!)
