Bowling!

We met up with the Oldfields tonight for a little bowling followed by dinner at Cafe Lazio. This was Kate's first time to bowl and she had so much fun bowling with Reese. The adults had fun too and even got a little competitive!

Reese enjoying the moment!

Sweet Reagan missed out on all the excitement.

Dance Party

Kate's latest entertainment is putting on "dance parties." She lines up her dolls on the steps and put on a show for them. From time to time, some of them get to participate while others aren't behaving and have to go to time-out.

Lots More Love!

I headed to Kate's school for her Valentine's Party. The kids had a blast exchanging valentines, eating lots of sweet and followed by bouncing off the walls!

Saying blessing before the party

Thanks hubby! Sam & I's Valentine's present to each other is a new set of cookware that we desperately need! Is it bad that we are excited about new pots & pans?

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! Kate had so much fun opening her Valentine's surprise & getting more candy!

Bathtime Fun

Sam was giving Kate a bath last night & all of a sudden, Kate yelled for me to get the camera. Apparently she felt this was a camera-worthy moment!

Another surprise package

Kate got some more Valentines Mail yesterday. Thanks Grandpa & Linda for the Princess purse. She loves it!

Lots of Love

We kicked off the weekend on Friday night by addressing Kate's valentine cards for school. She had so much fun picking out exactly which card and coordinating stickers she thought each friend would like best. Today, we had a ball making Valentine's cupcakes. I got the cute idea off of Pinterest, however, I left off one detail from Pinterest...there was supposed to be a "Cupid's arrow" shooting through the cupcake, however, we were all running on about 3 hours of sleep last night, so these will have to do! They still turned out cute though, and they taste even better!

Nothing better than licking the batter!

The finished product! Yummo!

We have lots of cupcakes! Don't be surprised if a few of our neighbors get a "special delivery" tomorrow!

Our Little Shepherd

When I was saying goodnight to Kate, she said, "Look mommy, I'm a shepherd like in the Bible." So funny. After I snapped a quick pic, I managed to get a few sweet bedtime pictures. You may have noticed that all of the pictures are close-ups....this would be due to the fact that I dropped my camera on our last day at Disney and broke the regular lens that came with it. UGH! So until I get a new lens in the next few weeks, most of the pictures are going to be close-ups with my zoom lens..... sweet pictures, but I had to stand across her bedroom and in her bathroom to take these! Ha!

Special Delivery

Thanks Gran for the Valentine's Day surprise that came in the mail!
