Be My Valentine!

We have had such a fun start to February!! This week Alli and I made Daddy and Bubby Valentines, helped Callie make a Valentine box for school and Alli got to go on a special date with Daddy!!! Don't worry Ben has had fun too!! He didn't get to go on a special date but he did get to hang out with Mommy without sister and I think he really enjoyed getting all the attention!! I know I loved all my extra hugs and kisses from him!! Here's our week!

Making Daddy and Bubby's Valentines!

Showing me her pretty hair!

isn't he so cute?!!

Aren't they both so cute!?!!

Having fun with Daddy!!

Playing together!! (a very rare moment! Most of the time one is grabbing the toy the other is playing with!)

Ben is ready for the picture!

Giving hugs or trying to keep him on the chair!

Mommy got some hugs too!!

Callie's Valentine box complete with a self portrait Valentine for her Mommy and Daddy!

Alli and me made these while Callie was making her box!

The Chickfilas in the area were holding a Daddy Daughter date night. Well when I heard about it I knew that Scott and Alli both would love it!! From the pictures below I think you can tell that they did!!

Ready for her date with Daddy!!

Telling Bubby bye!

So excited for her date with Daddy!!

Daddy even got her a flower!! She was just a little excited about that!!!! Her words "for me?!!!"

She loved her flower!

Thank you Daddy for my flower!!

Big Hugs!!

She even wanted to take it with her!! Scott said she told the waitress "look I got a flower from my Daddy!" as she hugged him!! Scott said it melt his heart!! (yeah, someones a Daddy's girl!!)

Alli coloring and sitting in a "big girl" chair!!

Aren't they cute?!!

Alli playing at the playground!

They ended the night with ice cream!! Alli's favorite toppings Strawberries and M&M's!!!

I think Scott was a little nervous about taking a 2 year old out by himself, but he has not stopped talking about how much fun they had and how sweet she is and how she listened so good and how much fun they had!!!

Alli was just as excited about their date!! She was so wound up it took her like 45 minutes to fall asleep!!

Texas Weather

You gotta love it!! We have had some really nice weather here lately. And even the "bad" weather hasn't been that bad. This week it has been rainy and somewhat cold but last week it was sunny and 70 degrees!!! We took advantage of the nice weather last week and went and played at the park down the street and had a picnic with Daddy, Callie and Grammy!!! It was so much fun and so awesome that Scott was able to walk across the street from work and meet us for some Friday afternoon fun!!! The kids had a blast!! (okay, so did we!) Then, this week has been rainy!! So yesterday Me and the kids stayed in our jammies all day!! (this is normal for me, but I usually dress the kids!) When Scott came home for lunch and asked Alli why we were still in our jammies Alli answered "because it's cold and rainy!" (draw this out slow) That is what I had been telling her all morning. She is my little copy cat!! I love it! She says some of the cutest funniest things!! So here are some pictures of us enjoying our Texas weather!

Ben loved being able to run around and kick the ball! (When Alli and Callie weren't playing keep away from him!)

Sliding!

Lunch Break! Grammy with her girls!!

Ben liked the slide too!

and LOVED the swing!!

My two boys!!

Callie pushed Alli on the swing!

Grammy and her girls walking home!

They were tickling each others feet!

We did some coloring!

Some painting!

Some tasting! :-)

Alli showed him "only on paper Bubby!"

Some resting!

Playing with trucks! Vroom Vroom!

Chillin!

Alli built a tower!

Ben tried to ride his truck!

Alli did some thinking!

Time for a bath!

First bath together!

Playing together! (Or Alli hogging the toy and Ben watching!)

Alli does this new thing where she will look out the window and say "My boyfriend Owen is coming!" Then she will go make him some food to make him feel better! ( I have no idea where she got this from!)
